DynoMax Performance Exhaust – a leading innovator in performance exhaust technologies – introduced the DynoMax VT™ muffler, a revolutionary, high-flow stainless steel performance muffler that controls irritating drone while ensuring maximum performance on a full-range of street applications.

DynoMax Performance Exhaust products are manufactured and marketed by Tenneco Inc. (NYSE: TEN).

The DynoMax VT muffler features an exclusive, precisely calibrated patented internal valve that ensures maximum performance and provides a drone-free experience in the vehicle.

The new DynoMax muffler’s proven performance advantage can be seen in recent flow-bench testing of the DynoMax VT (No. 17956), MagnaFlow (No. 11226), and Flowmaster (No. 42541) products. The DynoMax VT muffler delivered 841 cubic-feet-perminute flow, compared to 588 CFM for the MagnaFlow and 373 CFM for the Flowmaster.1

“We’re very excited for enthusiasts to hear this muffler and to see it perform. You gain not only impressive horsepower, but you get the added benefit of a patented valve technology that controls drone,” said Joe Pase, director, performance brands, Tenneco.

“The DynoMax VT muffler provides an exciting combination of maximum flow and a deep, throaty drone-free sound. The VT valve technology lets you hammer it when you want that raw exhaust sound and cruise with it when you want more comfortable sound within the vehicle,” Pase said.

The 100-percent welded stainless steel muffler is available in a side inlet/center outlet 14-in. body length and a side inlet/side outlet 16-in. body length. Inlet/outlet bushing diameters include 2 ¼-in.; 2 ½-in.; and 3-in. sizes.
