Enter Flowmaster
founder Ray Flugger, with over 26+ years of exhaust design experience,
and while working out of a small 800 square foot barn in Kenwood,
California, created Flowmaster's first patented design of racing
silencers. Ray attached handles to ease carrying the square shaped
race mufflers through the race pits, and the mufflers became known
as the "suitcase muffler." These innovative mufflers were
the result of years of development with top race engine builders,
thousands of hours of dyno research and "real-world" on-track
testing.
Present
Today, Flowmaster, Inc. is housed in two ultra-modern facilities
together totaling over 400,000 sq. ft., one in Santa Rosa, and the
other in West Sacramento, California. Flowmaster employs over 500+
workers dedicated to building the highest quality U.S. made exhaust
products available.
Flowmaster operates
the only exhaust Research & Design facilities of its kind in
the world, centered around the SuperFlow SF-7100 engine dynamometer
complete with E.C.A. (engine cycle analysis) equipment and also
SuperFlow chassis dyno's. Through use of these dyno's, Flowmasters
engineering staff can track the complete engine cycle in millionths
of a second and can obtain exact technical data of each degree of
cam rotation, from induction to the tip of the exhaust system, while
also showing the power numbers that really matter, the power numbers
"to the ground." Flowmaster also utilizes Spectrum Analyzers
to fine "tune" the sound of each of the eleven different
series of mufflers that Flowmaster currently offers, both for peak
performance and just the right sound levels and tones.
