Default Flowmasters suck!

Went to Sunshine with new mufflers. Old Flowmasters went 103 mph in the 1/8. New Dynomax Ultraflow Welded went 109 mph in the 1/8 with no other changes to the car.

Just a street 92 LX hatch with power everything and tailpipes. Heavy car for sure. Just saying that the flowmasters were killing me.

6 mph with new mufflers? just want to make sure i understood that correctly.

! cant imagine that you would see more than 1-2 hp difference between the two.

Yeah that sounds like a pretty heavy claim.

Air density, cooler temp, track surface, car just feeling good for some reason, there has to be other factors than just mufflers... I would almost believe it if it was a mod motor. Mod motors absolutely HATE flowmasters.

I learned somthing new today. I had no idea mod motors and flowmasters don't work well together. I have flowmasters on mine now. What should I go with?

^ Never heard that before either, but I don't like the sound of anything but Flowmasters. That's what I had on my mod motor, making 500 to the wheels. *shrug*
