Yep, increase flow through the exhaust is the main goal. Byproduct is altering the note of the exhaust. The additional chambers on those pipes is the help eliminate the rasp and drone of striaght pipes so that they don't resonate at cruising rpm. The benefit is realized a little more in turbo cars as the less restriction in and out nets higher percentage gains.

Thanks! That is kind of what I was thinking. I saw the CF NISMO and really liked that.
