2.7 Flowmaster Outlaw vs Flow FX

[stut1313]

Hey guys, has anyone had any direct experience with the axle back (or cat-back) Flowmaster Outlaw and Flow FX dual exhausts? Specifically the difference between the 2. I like a nice aggressive tone but don't want the level to be unbearable or tone to be unpleasant. As an additional note, Flowmaster actually lists hp/torque gains as greater for the axle-back systems, is there any additional advantage to going cat-back?

Cat back or not, the Flowmaster Outlaw High Clearance Axle Back Exhaust is a straight pipe and between it and the cat there is nothing but straight pipe. So unless it's a larger diameter, mandrel bent pipe, or has some additional resonator/muffler; I can't see there being any significant difference between the axle back and cat back.

If you want a nice sounding cat back system at a great price, I recommend the AfE system that I am running. The Flowmaster Outlaw High Clearance Axle Back Exhaust is just a bit obnoxious for daily use.

I’m referencing the Outlaw dual exhaust which is not the straight pipe.

Oops, missed the dual exhaust part.

Did you ever try one of Flowmaster the exhaust?

I did in fact. I put on the FlowFX axle back. My impressions are:
1. Quality built
2. Easy install
3. Nice tone most of the time
4. Loud when cold and at certain RPM
5. Almost unnoticeable when cruising
6. Can be a bit grating at certain RPM

Overall, I’m pretty pleased with it. I will say, when I first put it on I wasn’t sure I could keep it, it was so loud. But it’s mellowed some (or I’ve gotten used to it). I don’t know if it would be an option on a 2 door as if it were louder I’d have to pass.
