Like the sound a lot but don't like the tips at all. Matter of fact I would seriously consider purchasing flowmaster axle back if the tips looked like stock 13-14 tips. Will you guys be offering any alternatives?

 

[FlowmasterMufflers]

The tips that come in the kit actually clamp-on. You can swap them out for any 2.50" tips that you would like.

Those tips are super ugly!

Lol. Truth! Sounds good though!

So does Flowmaster offer a different style tip for sale or is this something that would need to be purchased separately from another vendor? Seems like a PITA and would be easier to just offer options with the exhaust tips.

I appreciate everyone's honesty and feedback. This kit is not offered with a different style of tip, but we do have a large selection of tips to choose from on our website..

Thanks Matt. I do believe that if this muffler were offered with a tip that was more appealing for folks, I personally think they would sell better as they do have a good sound. Are the mufflers you're advertising in this thread the same as the following link? I think these mufflers sound and look perfect:

I personally like the tips in the later post. Could the mufflers you're offering be packaged with these tips, if they even fit? http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/?page_id=451&partno=15389

 

[Wharf Rat]

Could they be ordered with the ss/black version of those same tips???

They would sell so many more of these if they changed the tips.

Yes, the mufflers are the same as those in the thread that you linked to. Basically, this system uses Outlaw muffler-type internals (straight-through design) in an oval-shaped case. The rings that you can see in the photos help to take some of the edge off of the sound. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this kit cannot be ordered with different tips. The tips can be replaced or changed, but we don't offer that as an option when ordering the system.

Too bad. I also believe that the tips are hurting the overall sales of these.

FWIW, I'm speaking as someone that has purchased this kit. I ran it for about two weeks and absolutely hated the look of the tips. Removed the system while I tried to find replacement tips. Maybe it's because I don't know the best places to look for such things but I played hell trying to find another set of 8" length, 2.5" inlet, 4" outlet size (the 3.5 look too small IMHO) replacement tips that wasn't insanely expensive. Now the whole kit, including tips are collecting dust in a corner of my garage. One day I may hook it all back up and try it again.

Also, playing captain obvious here for a second I suppose, if you run these with an off-road H-pipe it sounds nice but is loud as balls. Even made my dash rattle on downshifts.

Lol, I completely agree those tips look like plumbing connections.

Matt- that's too bad. I guess it's MRT for me then unless Flowmaster can market better looking exhaust tips with this kit.

Bummer! Well, that saves me $700.

 

[VFORCEJOHN]

I really like a tip like the super snake's. the Oval.

I also don't like the tips offered here.
#1 no one wants clamp on tips like this...
#2 they are painted black. How long until that comes off.
#3, they aren't t-304 and they can corrode.

for me, quality comes above sound any day.

 

[13RaceRedShelby]

Been a while since I have posted on here but that was my write up about the first two Flowmaster prototypes. I did eventually weld on and powder coat 4" tips. As noted in my write up, I agree with you guys obviously.

 

[sykb47l]

I think its safe to say that almost everyone hates the tips. You'd think that would be enough feedback to perhaps change the design or at least offer an alternative part number.

They look horrible.

 

[Ky GT500]

Input from 13RaceRed during development and current input from the ones that have posted so far,, would suggest Flowmaster go back and look at their decision on tips. Unless they are counting on folks that have no internet skill to research these,, to purchase from the Flowmaster name alone. I held off on switching exhaust and ran the stock axle backs until I could find something I really wanted. The Super Snakes finally became available and I pulled the trigger on those,,,very happy I waited.
