Side Exhaust

Very interesting thread - I've just been making inquiry on the same idea - for my Aussie Charger A body.



1st - the original AAR mufflers flow like crap...but there is a good, great sounding alternative, made by Dynomax (forget the Flowmaster - too expensive and sounds like a Chev)

2nd - you need to decide if you want the original AAR tips with the diffuser (which restricts flow) or the 2.25" offering also from Accurate that has no diffuser.

Here's what I found out from a guy who makes mufflers -

The systems on the AAR's & T/A's were dual 2.25" - I own an AAR, though it is not ready for the road yet - still under a tedious restoration.

The OE mufflers (reverse flows) are just a poor internal design so they flow like crap - 175 CFM per muffler.

We flow tested one of them when I worked for Dynomax, that's where I got the CFM flow #'s from.

Compared to a Dynomax # 17675, which has a flow rate of 517 CFM.

I would not hesitate to run this Super Turbo on your car, as it has a VERY good flow rate. The 2.5" version of this same reverse-flow muffler is part # 17676 (the 17675 is a 2.25" in/out) & the 2.5" version has a flow rate of 539 CFM.

These are a standard oval size (4.25" thick x 9.75" wide), x 14" long bodies, so they are shorter than the OE AAR/T/A mufflers by 6".
