Anyone ever tested mufflers for flow?

Well, ordinarily, I would tend to agree. But exhaust doesnt necessarily follow the same principles as your gank-*** breath. Sometimes too much flow can affect exhaust velocity. Believe it or not, you can have TOO free of an exhaust (especially in a rotary, which relies on a scavenging pluse from the exhaust to get excess gasses from the chamber). So given this hypothesis, the single could THEORETICALLY have a better flow rate then the dual.
Obviously, The term Flow Rate here is not how fast you can pass air through the system, its how fast you can effectively get rid of exhaust gasses.

You didn't make much sense Mr.Rat, you just said having too free flowing exhaust will flow less, how is this possible? You're mixing up power with flow. And I'm well aware of turbulence
Cheater, who said you could edit while I was making a comeback!?
Flow doesn't rely on scavenging, quit thinking about the engine. The duals are gonna flow better, the single may have better performance due to scavenging, but performance and flow are different :-)
