Default One chamber flowmasters?

Do you think my one chamber dual exhaust restricts my lowend power? I just thought about it, and i have heard that flowmaster is restritive.

If I'm not mistaken, One chamber are race only, 2 chamber are the classic regular flows, and the 3 chamber are the delta flows. Flowmasters work differnently then a straight through exhaust, They rely on their v fin to create exhaust scavanging. SOooooo I doubt a race only muffler would would restrict much, if thats what you have. They are not much of a muffler

Not true. I just changed from a 2 chamber to a 1 chamber Flowmaster and the sound is better and acceleration from stop is faster and at 60mph I can gun it and it will take off. So it is not restrictive.

Cool yeah they arent much. but i had the 2 chambers when I first got my truck 2 years ago and they werent loud enough so i dumped them for the 1 chamber and ive had them for about a year and I didnt think they would be that restrictive due to being only one chamber.

just so we're clear, the 1 chambers are their Hushpower mufflers right?

For me at least, it's 1 chamber or none. I'm curious to know how a Borla XR-1 muffler would sound on a truck with no cats, cause that's what people with LS1's, no cats, and a loudmouth setup use to cut down on noise.
