Default Aeroturbine Mufflers- hoax or for real?

First of all, I personally love my straight pipe, and I like it loud

But I have been hearing about Aeroturbine mufflers, how they supposed to have less backpressure than a straight pipe, by creating a vortex that sucks the exhaust out, yadda, yadda, supposedly decreasing spool up times and EGT's. Here is a quote from their site:

Q:
What is so different about Aero Exhaust muffler technology?

A:
Airflow! While Aero Exhaust mufflers offer significant advantages over competing mufflers, such as increased horsepower, torque, and fuel economy as well as lower temperatures, the source of these benefits comes down to airflow. After more than three years of research in the aerodynamics of exhaust gases, we have developed the most technologically advanced muffler available. The Aero Exhaust uses the same basic design and technique as a jet engine. By diverting slower moving outside air around the faster moving inside air, it creates a vortex that dramatically reduces the exhaust backpressure. The outer air stream further acts as an insulator dampening the sound and lowering the exhaust tone. The Aero Exhaust also spools up the turbo faster, when one is available, because of the reduced backpressure created by the turbine, thereby further increasing the vehicles performance.

So is this all hoax or do these things actually work?

Well, I have one on my truck and It has cut back on egt's just a bit but what I really like is it cut back on the drone I had inside the cab. Still has a nice sound to it also

Hmmm thats interesting. If I ever do get a muffler (doubtful ) I may have to look into them.

Not saying that I don't believe it.....but I would like to see some verifiable independent testing done on their claims by a few reliable sources. I'm having a hard time with the less back pressure than a straight pipe. Got a lot of years dealing with turbine engines so I understand what they are saying, just not seeing all how all of those things could be quite as true as advertised.
Stay safe out there.
