tool for measuring CFM?

Anyone know where to buy a digital tool or some type of gadget that can measure the amount air flow from something like an exhaust tail pipe?

We use one of these at work. http://www.extech.com/instrument/cat...w/airflow.html, the one we have is the heavy duty model. They not only measure airflow (in different units), but temp as well.

Thanks everyone. I just bought a $50 "Anemometer" on eBay.

I just wanted something cheap that hopefully might show/prove a difference after installing an aftermarket muffler....particularly OEM versus Flowmaster.
If it initially works, then I'll be doing before and after tests at 0-1,000~ RPM's on two different vehicles including my 4runner. I'll post results when i get-r-done.
