Feel free to check it out and hit me back here with questions/comments. My use-case for this was my FiST and a V8 audi; I have not tested extensively with every car/exhaust combination, so I am not sure how something like a v8 with true duals and an x-pipe would be calculated (pulses per rpm -> frequency), but if you get the frequency via a spectrum analyzer the rest of the sheet works fine. Please copy the calculator to your own google drive and use it that way. As it always needs to be said, I am not responsible for your use of this tool, it's just the reference I have been using for myself and as there are a ton of environmental variables you need to pay close attention when utilizing it.

Could this be used to figure out how to lose the drone associated with running dumped, 2-chamber Flomasters?

I love the sound but hate the drone at cruise speed...

Absolutely, thats exactly what it's for :)

Figuring out the length of the required chamber isn't too hard, on all the Fiesta's I've seen it winds up being 3200 rpm or 106.67hz - what's hard is figuring out where to fit nearly 32" of pipe. I think your flowmaster has a rear muffler, so you're going to have to find an exhaust shop willing to get creative. The only way I was able to fit the piping was not having a rear muffler.

I'm thinking of using this for my Chevelle. It drones like a mofo.
