(Disclaimer: Okay, so I got a C in my fluid dynamics class, and haven't used any of the knowledge in over 10 years - so take it with a grain of salt)
I hear you brother. I tried to remember some fluid dynamics stuff last week or the week before when I was talking about exhaust (single in/dual out) and how it can actually be a flow problem vs. single in/single out or true duals.
Terry, good info again bro. Keep the good stuff rolling.
