question on flowmaster outlet

so i decided to take off the "stock" outlete pipe from the dual chamber 40 series i installed awhile back, cuz i wanted to have a different look.

i wanted to dump it right b4 the back tire, which i did this weekend, using a 90 degree steel adapter i found and a 25" piece of 3" ss tube.

(that ss piece cost 70 bux)

anywayz, it didnt change the sound much, which is fine, i love the look, but am worried that "the sharp 90 degree coming out of the muffler might be too tight"??

effect performance??

any input??

If it is a smooth bend that isn't collapsed at the bend, no worries.

def a smooth bend, 3" throughout.

thanks alot for the reply


i was just 2nd guessing maybe cutting it back closer to the cat, but then again 3" is a rather large diameter for breathing.

Should be fine, why not just go with a 22" X 4" echo chamber "slant cut tip" ? You can normally pick one of those for about $35-$40 in SS.

Everyone you know is running that stupid 40 series. You need the 50 series.
