Is the Raptor considered a turbo muffler?

Yes it is a turbo. I looked at the Thrush turbo and the Cherry Bomb turbo and both had smaller tubing diameter inside. The raptor is full diamater through and through. Love it. I don't recommend the Dynomax turbo I put on the Aerostar as it sounds kind of funky with all the packing, kind of like it's muffled through a bunch of cotton. Raptor definitely has a nice sound. Check out the other Flowtech offerings at Holly's website.

The Flowtech Terminator is neat. Has two tubes that are offset inside with no third tube. Not a turbo, not quite straight through. Bet it sounds good. They told me the Raptor was their quietest Flowtech mufler.

Good question. I would guess a couple years, but have no experience. Where I live there is a lot of road salt in winter.

$20 here was for the 2" inlet/outlet. The larger sizes were $25. This is at Murrays, but I think AUtoZone is cheaper, but may have to order.

I can tell you one now that you mentioned the stacks. Run 20-in glasspack but put it as far from the header as you can befor the split/or turn for the stacks. I had this set-up on an off-brand with a 235 and dual collector header back for a year or 2 when I wore a Bowtie. Wasn't too load when idle or cruisin but would perk-up an old dogs ear when you got in it. Those strait-6's with stacks man they sound good too

dont use a muffler.. its too quiet as it is... right now im running just the efi manifolds into a blown out glasspack. its straight through so no popping. i got it turned down right after the cab.. not too loud... im puttin on the clifford headers as soon as i getr my tax return.. trust me. straight pipe is the way to go... it gives a mean growl..
