Flows

Is it true that flowmasters can kill your hp compared to other brands if so is it at low rpm or high rpm that the power loss is happing.

Garhfer · July 10th, 2007, 02:44 AM

?? I never heard of anything like that, they may not give you as much of a gain as some other ones but I don't think they'll hurt your performance...

01GT · July 10th, 2007, 02:46 AM

they wont hurt from a stock set-up... but a straight through muffler will flow better. hooker aerochambers and spintech mufflers will flow better too. but i mean were talking maybe 1-2hp here.

depending on what mods are it could be more than that. on most bolt on cars it is not much. on a heavily modded car, it will show more.

My flows are just fine....mmmmmmmmmmmm

Blackblurr_00GT · July 10th, 2007, 12:45 PM

I'm asking this b/c i guy i know said that when he had flows he dynod at like 250-260 then he put on i think magnaflows and got dynod again and it moved up to like 270-280 somewhere around that range

Keep in mind this was on a dodge truck and yes the hemi one.

thats why i was askin it might have been just him but just want to be sure .

did he go with a larger diameter pipe where he might have lost some backpressure? that will kill hp. you need a little bit of backpressure.

ujslost · July 10th, 2007, 03:04 PM

thats why i call them Flowbastards or chokemasters!

Not really sure on that one but i can ask it just really bothers me that the sound off them is so great but is good sound relly worth losing HP over????

ChrisJ · July 10th, 2007, 06:34 PM

Mine were fine...

I have had them on all the sports cars I have owned and never had an issue...

I now run a bassani catback...

Its the same...

You wont lose power...

I bough the magnapacks for hp reasons.......
it might matter a whole lot more if You throw a supercharger on it later

I have a blower and really did not tell a difference between the Flowmasters and Bassni catback...The sound is the only thing that changed...

SWEET2KSTANG · July 11th, 2007, 10:15 AM

i have seen dyno runs of cars losing power with flows. dd cars wont lose but just a few, it really depends on what the person is looking for. i personally wont run flowmasters on anything, some people wont run anything but flow's.

ChrisJ · July 11th, 2007, 10:48 AM

Never lost power here...

The mufflers wont mean much of anything unless you are running far more power then the most of us are...

I have had flows on all of my sports cars...But I am really loving the bassani on my car now...
