You mean based off of the BS "flow" tests? Since when can you properly test muffler "flow" on a bench? Hot gases flow completely different in an exhaust system than any flow bench test.

The "flow" in a muffler is not always as important as the velocity. More volume moving slower isn't always better then less volume moving faster. Just as an X pipe works, chambered mufflers work off impulse from the exhaust valve closing to help pull exhaust out. Like anything else, you have to match the correct size muffler/exhaust system to your engine.

And FYI, most of my cars have Dynomax Super Turbo's on them...because I like the "stockish" sound.
