Do stock dual fans flow over 2400 cfm if wired for both on. I am looking for electric but people say dual stock wired flow more than FAL duals???? Confused.

This topic comes up quite a bit and no defenate answers are given. I know I've asked also. I do know that a stock single electric fan flows as much air as a clutch fan. "you asked about dual I know"
So dual fans probably flow 1 1/2 the rate of an electric or clutch fan. As far as CFM ratings no one knows or if they do thier not saying.

Electric fans don't flow as much as a clutch fan. Though 2 should be about equal.

Can you provide numbers to back up that statement or is it just opinion?

I too would love to know the CFM of stock single and dual fans. I have asked with no answers...
