Flowmaster FX direct fit

Mine did not leak at first but after a couple weeks it did start leaking so I would recommend some copper rtv while you have it apart. I haven’t had any issues since.

Thanks, I’ll keep an eye on for leaks. I already got it all back together

Well I was able to get everything back together. Tailpipes are lined up well but the driver side is just a ~.25” short. Thank you Ford engineers for making the tips adjustable!! They were way off until I was able to adjust them.

…Sounds like persistence and many choice words payed off.

Mine are way off from the factory. Do you have a link on how to adjust?

I don’t have a video but the tips have a clamp that allows you to move the around. Just no way to push them in or out.

Choice words and lots of head scratching. It’s not perfect so my OCD suffers but it’s close enough that most people will never notice

Ah ok. My problem is one is in and the other is out. Damnit

Are you happy with the tone I’m looking at the FMFX

I am happy with the tone. To me it’s pretty much perfect and what I was looking for. It’s not obnoxiously loud and yet has a mellow & deep rumbling every one likes. Haven’t noticed any real drone. I’ve thought I heard drone a few times just for a fleeting moment but it quickly goes away as the rpm change. I think it’s when I’m off the throttle and in 10th at a low speed. Perhaps when the cylinder deactivating is happening. Not sure. Somewhere I read that you could hear the CD kick in/out more easily with a aftermarket muffler but I have not noticed that at all. However I still have the OEM resonator on it. Driving on the interstate today between 80 and 55, I didn’t notice any drone either.
