Werkingsprincipes

The Flowmaster FlowFX muffler utilizes a straight-through design with a perforated stainless steel core and single-stage packing. This design minimizes exhaust gas restriction, allowing for maximum flow and improved engine performance. The internal packing material absorbs sound waves, producing a moderate, deep performance tone that is distinct from traditional chambered mufflers. This provides an aggressive exhaust note under acceleration while maintaining a more subdued sound at idle and cruising speeds.

Onderhoud

The Flowmaster FlowFX Muffler is constructed from durable 409 stainless steel, designed for longevity and resistance to corrosion. Regular maintenance will help preserve its appearance and performance.

Algemene onderhoudstips:

  • Regelmatig schoonmaken: Periodically clean the exterior of the muffler to remove dirt, road grime, and salt, especially in harsh climates. Use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly.
  • Controleer op schade: Regularly check for any signs of physical damage, such as dents, cracks, or loose connections. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage or exhaust leaks.
  • Controleer verbindingen: Zorg ervoor dat alle clamps and welds remain secure. Loose connections can lead to exhaust leaks and altered sound characteristics.
