Principi operativi

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.
