Aero Turbine Muffler

Anyone know anything about this muffler, it seems like a good i dea an all the create a vacuum inside the muffler to speed up the flow but does it really work as well as they say it works, cause some of the dyno results they got here are pretty out there i think. They sayin a corvette is gained 53hp/50Tourqe just from puttin on this muffler obviously power increases vary from car to car, but can this be? Magic Mufflers?

I agree it's just a joke... there's nothing going on in your engine... it just modifies your muffler which is just like any aftermarket muffler. I don't see the point in that reduced temperature thing... I dunno what that's gonna help with... and increased fuel economy and more HP... that just doesn't sound right. I'm sure a guy as bright and as wise as you can figure out these people are only joking.

in theory it would work, but you would need to have an actual turbine to do it...and i think you're rather have your turbine in your turbo. right?

without a turbine, its impossible due to thermodynamics. 2nd law states that energy in a system dissipates over time. tell me, if the energy is dissipating, how are you spending energy to accelerate.

also:

hot air can only cool down if it expands rapidly, and since the exaust is already under slightly more than 1 atmosphere, it would be impossible to cool it down without additional energy of a vacum pump(turbine).

the only way to accelerate a gas is to force it through a smaller opening. if the same volume has to flow through a smaller space, it speeds up. however this creates considerable backpressure.

its impossible to accelerate exaust away from an engine without the use of additional energy input(turbine)...but that would kinda defeat the purpose of acclerating it in the first place.
