They claim that the mufflers flow MORE than a piece of pipe, what a crock of SH!T 
Look at this fool engine bay - it's yellow so you know he's a ricer and thus why he bought those POS's.
Only ricers use SBC 350 V8s...
They've only appeared in such rice rags as Corvette Fever, Kit Car and Super Chevy.
In Corvette Fever's June 98 issue they used a 1996 Corvette LT4 as a test vehicle for B&B Tri-Flow's system, Dynomax's system, Borla's system, Flowmaster's system and Power Effect's system. Dyno results:

Visit a Corvette forum and do a search and you will quickly find out how sought after PE is.
The tuneable version, which was shown, uses a diverter valve to adjust the exhaust flow through the muffler, how much goes straight through and how much goes around the center pipe and through the sound dampening material.
I have an unopened bottle of Crown in the cabinent if you want to wash that taste of foot out of your mouth.
