I found this video on YouTube recently. I found it pretty informative... it's easier to understand when you actually can see what's going on inside.

That video makes it sound like "ricer technology".  Swirling air and low pressure vacuum?  That's the same way that the Turbonator and the Tornado are described--and to what benefit?  Because the Aero Turbine is not dyno-proven to free up any more horsepower than a Flowmaster, Magnaflow, Borla/FRPP, or even the GT-takeoff.  It makes our cars sound buzzy and raspy-- absolutely nothing that a Mustang should sound like, even if it is a 6. 

Sorry to be negative on it.. but when I first bought my car, my very first mod was a single MRT Aero-Turbine-- and it was a huuuge disappointment.  I was embarrassed to accelerate hard with it because it sounded so raspy and "Civic-like".   When I moved on to my second exhaust set up, I put it in the trash.  I didn't want to sell it to anyone because I didn't think that any Mustang should sound like that.  $300 wasted.

Scrming had his dyno'd and he showed a considerable increase in horsepower over his Magnaflow... he has the chart available to see on here somewhere.

Thanks. That had crossed my mind, but to be honest I don't know how to do that. I don't think I have a video editor or any special software to edit videos.

isnt scrming on the bottle?

n/a any axleback will be faster than stock, not much difference performance wise between a chambered vs. straightthru... fi/nitrous however is a different story...
