Flowmaster Delta Flow technology-
delivering increased horsepower, torque and fuel economy.
Developed from Flowmaster's line of Delta Force™ race
mufflers, Flowmaster mufflers with Delta Flow technology provide superior
scavenging of exhaust gases than a comparable (standard) Flowmaster
muffler. The results: increased horsepower, torque and fuel economy, along
with reductions in exterior sound levels and interior resonances.

|
| The key
to Delta Flow technology is the three deflectors that form the
delta shape inside the Power Chamber. |
These three deflectors function properly only when
they've been precisely placed and welded to exacting specifications.
Together they provide superior reductions in exterior sound levels as well
as resonance otherwise transmitted through the exhaust system and into the
vehicle.
While most Flowmaster mufflers have relied upon a single
deflector, recent advancements in production technology have allowed
Flowmaster to construct mufflers with multiple deflectors.
|
By investing in
state-of-the-art electronic sensing devices, Flowmaster can now produce
mufflers with internal elements placed at tolerances of +/- .004",
twice that required by OEM car manufacturers. In fact, no one in the
exhaust business today has tighter specifications. It is this exacting
placement of components within the muffler that makes Delta Flow
technology possible.
If you've ever played a musical instrument, or watched a piano tuner at
work, you understand how slight the differences are between being in-tune
and being out-of-tune. That's exactly the case with Delta Flow technology.
Only sophisticated electronic sensing devices can place the deflectors
with the accuracy required. Because without it, performance would suffer
and you wouldn't get the famous "Flowmaster sound".

Flowmaster's
exacting placement technology assures that components are welded
in the precise location required for optimal Delta Flow
performance. |
While Delta Flow technology is currently available in
selected 40
Series and 50
Series mufflers (as well as Delta Force race
mufflers), development of new applications is ongoing.
