Then multiply 716 by .7285713 = 521 cfm @ 20.4 inches of water. I hope I did all that right I havent had to work on flow like that for a couple of years, I usually just use a flow bench lol Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/23189-pipe-flow/#findComment-345375 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guts of the cat will effect flow also. It's not just a matter of finding out what a sertain size pipe flows.
