Except...
1. 2.5" downpipes (Y-pipe off the manifolds) is KILLING velocity as it is serious overkill.  Major power losses there.
2. Cherry bombs have louvered cores
3. Aerochamber mufflers sacrifice performance and velocity for sound quality by splitting the airflow and then re-merging it
That's the proverbial 3 deadly strikes in exhaust inefficiency. 
Definitely NOT flowing like crazy!
PLEASE do not pretend the Duratec sounds anything like a V8. It is "physically" impossible and I love the way the Duratec sounds.
