Chambered/baffled mufflers interupt velocity.

Making your motor have to "push" the gas out even more..



A siphone doesn't work if your hose has a water bong in the middle of it...



I had a thrush system on my truck... They sound very unique... But definatly not a gainer...

Yep, that's most important with every configuration, = increase flow velocity, -to asist cylinder scavenging.
