Default AeroTurbine mufflers...sound chambered - listen here

Anyone heard of or used these AeroTurbine mufflers? They claim to flow BETTER than NO muffler at all!

Anyway, they sound pretty BADA$$...here's a clip I found on www.exhaustsoundclips.com:

AeroTurbine Mufflers (<=== the sound clip is here)

Nice "gurgle" I must say!

those DO sound nice. Could be the recording but I think chambereds are louder.

Isosceles:
Yeah, it's hard to tell w/o actually hearing them in person. This recording could be right up @ the exhaust or 100' feet away...who knows??? Also, I just have tiny speakers, so probably not getting the "growl" that they probably have.

Eddie70:
Sorry about the crash...you can just go to
Exhaust Sound Clips and then search for AeroTurbine...I actually did a search for "chambered" when I found it. ExhaustSoundClips has changed their layout recently and it took a while before I found a "search" field, but it's hidden there somewhere!!!

Here's a better link to the "Hear It" links on their website...you can search for vehicle make or type:

AeroTurbine Sound Clip Search

Enjoy...

Is it just me, or does this look like the same theory used by the STS baffles, Moroso Spiral Flow mufflers, Lobak (sp?) and the DIY auger inserts (and maybe others I don't know about)?

They won't sound that way on our C3's because of no tail pipe. That missing length of open tube makes a big difference.

Alwayswave: Do you mean like on a car with the mufflers mounted in front of the axle? The pipes from there back to the bumper being open? Or that our mufflers are right on the end... with just downturns before the bumper?

Mufflers being right on the end without tailpipes sound much different than when mounted with tailpipes.
