Flowmaster Has 25 Years' Experience In Making Your Car Sound Better
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.
Ray Flugger was the man who founded the company. He 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.
Due to the outstanding reputation demonstrated by Flowmaster, Ray Flugger's design's are still in use today. In no way ready to retire, Ray strives to make Flowmaster the leader in the industry by overseeing new and exciting ideas for modern engines. Currently Flowmaster is manufacturing a line of Mustang headers which allows more air intake to the engine resulting in more overall power and performance.
Having an efficient engine is important for any Mustang owner, whether they are driving their machine on city streets or are racing their car themselves. Keeping a clean and efficient engine is important to the longevity of any car's life, and will save any Mustang owner money in the long run.
Maintaining the quiet operation and the efficiency of the machine is also essential to the Mustang exhaust system. Owning a noisy car, regardless of where you live, is a nuisance to your neighbors, and can even result in large fines if the local officers find your car is too loud.
Flowmaster is a brand that is well established and trusted among those in the Mustang community. When Ray Flugger was able to use his expertise to solve the noise problem as no other mechanic could, it was the start of a whole line of products that improved the Mustang's performance and sound. As most people take pride in their cars, it is good to know that there is a readily available brand which can be counted on.
The history of the Flowmaster brand of exhaust mufflers for the Mustang is an interesting one. Perhaps you have heard of this brand, which began in 1983 in California. The event which launched this company was that 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 designed a system which allowed the engine to run more quietly by modifying the Mustang Exhaust and Mustang Headers without affecting the car's racing and performance capability.
