It seems like im not the only one around here that must have missed the physics lesson back in the 8th grade. The science is actually a little more specific that 8th grade physics. If you wanted to educate yourself a bit beyond the 8th grade, you might want to talk to one of the many exhaust manufacturers, that have done extensive testing in things like laminar airflow, and flow bench testing. I stand my by original statement that exhaust flow is not equal between both sides of a factory touring exhaust under ALL rpms and loads. And if there is anyone here that wants to dispute my claim that has more that just a fluency in 8th grade physics, im open to being taught something new.

Offended? Im not offended. You'd need to say much more than that to offend me. Ive got a wife that calls me worse than that. My old boss had some choice words that I lived through. A nameless and faceless person on the internet does not have the ability to offend me.
