In
the great quest for higher performance in this beloved sport of ours, it
is rare to find an industry leader with a foothold that spans decades.
Sure I could name a few, but I doubt many have as much history,
recognition, and praise as Flowmaster.Just say that one word, Flowmaster, and
anyone listening to you begins to hear a low rumble in their head, while
pictures of full-size trucks, drag racers, and rock crawling Jeeps run
through their mind. Everyone knows that Flowmaster means Performance! Flowmaster?s 15 years of history has
proven that they are innovators and scientists in exhaust design. From
the first VW Beetle muffler kits, to the "Hushpower" Harley
mufflers, to the RV kits of today, Flowmaster has tackled just about
every application. I went to Flowmaster with the challenge
of improving my performance, while not waking my neighbors with noise at
night. After consulting with one of their technicians, I decided on the
Delta Flow series muffler. This muffler was designed especially to
deliver maximum performance while producing lower overall sound levels
inside and outside the vehicle. How did Flowmaster arrive at this design?
These innovations were incorporated: - Tuned internal design reduces interior
resonance and overall exhaust tone
- Triple Deflector Design allows maximum
scavenging and gives added torque in street applications
The
Delta Flow series is built with aluminized steel for long product life,
and is fully welded for added strength. The internal design was improved
to reduce backpressure and achieve optimum exhaust flow. Sounds like
exactly what I was looking for! I received a part number from the
Flowmaster tech and ordered one up. It arrived nicely packed, and I
headed over to have it installed. Twenty minutes later, I had the new
Delta Flow muffler on my Jeep.
Upon starting the Jeep, it rumbled to
life?no wait, I couldn?t really hear my new muffler. I got out and
walked around to the rear of the Jeep and was pleasantly surprised to
hear a low, deep sound. Very nice, tough-sounding, but not too loud! I
drove around the block at different speeds and even inside my jeep with
no carpet, the sound was very minimal, and there were no vibrations
transmitted into the Jeep tub. Perfect! I drove out to the freeway, stopping at
lights, accelerating, braking, to get a feel for the performance, and I
noted a decent amount of pedal peppiness. From a stop, the throttle seemed stronger, and from about 1200-2200 Rpm?s the Jeep felt very
lively. I was impressed, and still am months later. Flowmaster has, again, defined a new
technology in mufflers that reinforces their position as industry leader
and innovator. If you are looking for increased performance and that
awesome Flowmaster tone, but on a lower level, check out the Delta Flow
mufflers! Flowmaster, Inc. Dept. ORC 2975 Dutton Ave. Santa Rosa, CA 95407 800-544-4761 management@flowmastermufflers.com |
