I can tell you that this claim is either ignorant or a straight-out lie...

I put a 2.5" in/out Flowmaster Delta 50 on my VX and it is brutally loud. 200 yds down the road, I would have brought it back to the shop for them to yank it out again if I hadn't had to drive to PA for a business trip that evening. It has since mellowed out slightly, but it's still extremely loud and sometimes pretty harsh sounding.

On the other hand, I found that it improved off-the-line acceleration noticeably, and it certainly let the S/C breath easier at the top end of the rev range.

Hearing this nice recommendation for the CB Vortex, I might give it a try.
