When I was searching for my exhaust I saw a ton of those too. In my eyes, I would think that it would be quieter, and increase torque by a margin. But I woudl think it would drop performance b/c of the extreme bends.

I have a honda perfomance book that has that style of muffler in it, its basically having a larger exaust while reducing the sound but its pretty much as 19accord97 said when i get back home i'll post a picture of it with the text, from what i remember it describes what it does with that style


ok.... not as much information as i thought, but this is basically it

I always thought a less restrictive exhaust has the least amount of bends as possible and wil be louder.
The quicker the exhaust gases are released the better your top end, but also the louder the exhaust.
So I don't think a less restrictive (free flowing) exhaust will reduce noise, it will actually get louder.
The more restrictive an exhaust, the quieter it is which explains why a stock exhaust system is not as loud as an aftermarket exhaust.
