Flowmaster Install


Recommended Posts

Posted

So i just got done installing a flowmaster outlaw series catback dual exit exhaust on my 2014 sierra crewcab. I managed to get the stock exhaust out in one piece by dropping the spare tire, jacking up under the reese hitch, and a good bit of man-handling.

 

I love the sound, its right on the edge of too loud for my taste but i can live with it. Nice and throaty.

 

I'll see if i can get some pictures up later.

 

Only thing is, the pipe the runs to the left side of the truck is very close to, and basically is, touching the spare tire. I'm concerned about heat/rubbing damaging the spare. Should i remove the spare or is the a way to adjust the exhaust pipe away from it?

Drop the tire down and while cranking it back up, move the tire a bit away from the pipe. the tire isn't centered anymore but it will be away from the exhaust pipe. i had to to that with my Magnaflow 15268 install.

i dont know about the v4 mode. i have a range afm disabler so it doesnt go into v4. (kinda pricey but i recommend it if you dont want v4 and dont want to tune, dont lose any gas mileage either)

 

i'll unplug it later and give you an update tho

Ive been looking at this system for some time. I just think the price is right and I like the black double walled tips. I like the the Cora but the price is a little much. I definitely want to hears some clips and see some pics.

I have to disagree on disabling v4 not hurting mpg's. If you drive around town most of the time then maybe not but on a 4 lane hwy doing 55 or faster then you will lose mpg's by taking out V4 mode. I plan on disabling AFM as well and probably going with flows but I am waiting out my warranty before I do.

Before disabling it my highway mileage averaged 18-19. Just took a 500 mile trip one way and averaged 18-19 with as high as 21 on the 50 mile average. It all depends on how you drive. My average around town has been from 10-15. So i havent seen any decrease, i dont know if you have, but i havent

I got for about $720 on amazon prime.

 

I'll try to get a video up tomorrow, but theres a couple videos on youtube that sound good. Videos never do it justice though

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
