Flowmaster Silences Your Car's Engine Without Hurting Performance

by Tom S Powers

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.

The founder of the company, Ray Flugger, had over 45 years of experience with designing exhaust and Mustang header systems. Ray was able to design a new Mustang exhaust system that finally worked to silence the engine, without reducing any of the machine's performance and racing capabilities.

Ray Flugger's designs are still in use today, and he still works at the head of the Flowmaster company, overseeing new and exciting designs for more modern engines. Today, the company also makes a variety of Mustang headers. These help to intake more air into the engine of the machine, allowing more power to be output from the engine.

A Mustang owner needs an efficient engine whether their car is used for racing or just for regular driving through the city. Having a clean and efficient engine is the key to how long a car is going to last, and will prove cost effective to any Mustang owner over time.

Maintaining the silence and efficiency of the machine is vital as well for the exhaust system of the Mustang. Regardless of where you reside and need to drive, a loud automobile is an annoyance to those living nearby and might lead to stiff fines by the local police if your engine is excessively noisy.

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 Flowmaster brand of mufflers began, in 1983, because racers were told to quiet their vehicles, or discontinue racing. Ray Flugger put 45 years experience in the field to use, founding the company. He created a new Mustang Exhaust system that allows the engine to run more quietly without affecting the car's racing and performance capability. The company also makes Mustang Headers, which impart a greater quantity of air into the machine's engine, letting the engine produce greater power; at its optimal efficiency. Maintaining a clean engine that operates efficiently will extend a vehicle's life. Ray's styles continue, and he remains in charge of the business.
