Flowmaster Improves The Sound Of Your Mustang

by Tom S Powers

Maybe you are familiar with the Flowmaster, a brand of Mustang exhaust muffler. If this brand is new to you, you will find that the roots of the Flowmaster company are most interesting. Beginning in 1983, on California race tracks, the drivers were informed that their cars produce too much noise. They were told that they had to find a way to lower the noise that their engines made on the race track, or they they would not be allowed to race anymore.

After 45 years of designing exhaust and Mustang header systems, Ray Flugger, the founder of the company, was finally able to design a Mustang exhaust system that quieted the engine successfully while keeping the vehicle's performance and racing capabilities in tact.

Ray Flugger's designs are still in use today, and he still works at the head of the Flowmaster company, overseeing new and exciting designs for more modern engines. Today, the company also makes a variety of Mustang headers. These help to intake more air into the engine of the machine, allowing more power to be output from the engine.

Maintaining a highly efficient engine is paramount for any owner of a Mustang. Owners driving on city streets or racing on a track must keep a clean and efficient engine to maintain the vehicle's longevity and will be more cost-efficient in the long term.

Keeping the machine quiet and efficient is also important for the Mustang exhaust system. Having a car that is noisy, no matter where you live and drive, is a nuisance to your neighbors and could result in hefty fines by your local law enforcement if your machine is just too loud.

Seeking a trustworthy and established industry brand can be a daunting task in the best of times. This is especially trued when it comes to automoble care. However when it comes to Flowmaster products, you benefit from track-tested proven results put to the test by expert Ray Flugger. Flowmaster products will help your vehicle's overall performance and its harmonics. The brand is a trusted by Mustang community members because it is tracked-tested and it has stood the test of time.

The history of the Flowmaster brand of exhaust mufflers for the Mustang is an interesting one. Racers were told that they must either find a way to race their cars more quietly or discontinue racing their vehicles due to excessive engine noise. Ray Flugger used his over 45 years of experience designing exhaust and header systems for Mustangs to create a new Mustang exhaust system that allowed the engine to run more quietly without affecting the car's racing and performance capability. Now the business manufactures different Mustang headers as well, which work to impart a greater quantity of air into the machine's engine, letting the engine produce greater power.
