I dunno about flow..

BUT

It will make a big difference as far as how loud your car is. Mine are something like 28 inches long and the car sounds almost stock at idle, and I have zero resonance on the highway or interstate. When I get on it though it's still pretty darn loud, it'll set off car alarms when I start it up and in parking garages.. well you get the picture I'd say the longer the better, my car sounds real mellow and deep, I get a lot of compliments on it.. oh and I don't use any turn downs which I understand will lessen the interior noise.

I guess it just depends on how loud you want it to be. I will say that my mufflers weigh a good bit though. Oh, I also used three inch piping btw.

Hope this helps.

Lost, What part of Tally do you live in? I live in Bainbridge but my g/f goes to FSU so in town all the time. Im interested in tru-duels and seeing how your car sounds. Later.

Sorry for the off topic comment.

I'm at student so I live close to campus... right behind the mcdonalds on tennessee and dewey. I live in the savanas apartment complex it's on the corner of dewey and carolina street. Drop by sometime and we'll take her for a spin.. I don't get to drive her much since I walk to campus.. we only go and get groceries together these days the only time I get to the track is when I'm at home in bradenton/sarasota... say there isn't a track nearby in georgia is there? It was my impression that the nearest track is in gainsville..

Shoot me an email and I'll give you better directions.. we could go some friday night to a car club, I understand that most of the old fbody club people are meeting with tallahassee muscle.. problem is I dunno where they meet..

You're talking the Dynomax Bullet's correct?

thy're the same parts... Summit measures from the end of the flange to the end of the flange, while Jegs measures just the main body of the muffer.

Good luck, I'm putting those on my car in about a month along with an X-pipe and Hooker LTs... should be louder than Hell.... :

Actually there are 2 different length bullets available. As for power they're identical, but the longer bullet will be a little quieter (theoretically).

Yeah, they're bullets.. I got them outta jc whitney, they were pretty cheap considering their length/size I just checked jc whitney's website and I believe they're actually 30" 4" around with a 3" core... yeah they're pretty long

Car sounds good.. but not obnoxious.
