Default exhuast ?

i have flowmaster axle backs. im wanting to put on axle back very soon. i was told that with the mufflers i have that the axle back could actually mess up the mufflers. is there any truth to this?

And how hard is it to use the tuner system when you buy it with an intake?

you have the flowmaster american thunders, right? like any axle back they bolt up in place of the stock axle backs, no problems at all.

The exhaust is bolt-on from the cats on back. Any mod from there back is simple.

The CAI & tuner combo is very simple to install. The CAI takes maybe an hour or so to assemble and installincluding removal of the stock intake. Uploading the new tune can take a whopping 2-3 minutes. Maybe 4 if you doze off. It's basically plug in and follow the prompts. A bit unerving the very first time you use it but turns out to be rather simple once you get used to it. I'll pull over to the side of the road or after I fill-up and then swap tunes sometimes.

I heard that x-pipes and H-pipes make your exhust sound bad with Flowmasters. I have Flowmasters on mine and I'd like to make it louder too. But not to loud.

Off road exhaust is VERY loud! I had an O/R X with the flowmasters and it was too loud. Starting it at night I was waking up the neighborhood. The H is supposed to be better sounding as the X is very raspy but I'm sure it's just as loud. As far as ruining the axle back, no cats will turn your exhaust tips black. I ran the X for only 2 weeks and my tips are black and wont clean off.
