Installed Flowmaster Outlaw and LOVE the sound

[boltbarge]

Received my Flowmaster Outlaw direct fit muffler from Jegs last night. Install was about 45 minutes and I could not be happier with the sound.

Here is a sound clip:

Nice man! Thank you for sharing that video. When you have a chance maybe some rpms or driving impressions

Thanks man! I will definitely record some better videos with revs, take off and wide open throttle. I was racing against a snowstorm in PA when I installed it. Better quality videos to come!

Thinking about getting that one . Is that just the muffler or with exhaust tips? What did u pay for that if u don’t mind me asking.

It is just the muffler. Flowmaster part number 817846, Jegs had it for $299, but I saved a few bucks with a coupon. Installation was easy; sawzall 1.25 inches from the exit of the factory muffler and then remove 2 bolts. Drop the old one out, hang the new one and that's it!

Update: Drove it about 150 miles today on the highway. Driving between 75-80mph and averaged 20.5 mpg and was NOT at all bothered by the noise others complain of when the truck switches to eco mode.

Any noise from the weepholes in the resonators?

I was really worried about the weep hole noise, but it really isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. It is more like a soft “shhhh” tone than exhaust leak sound. I may still JB Weld them closed just to clean it up though.

Sorry I dont have all the stats for my ride.

On the weep hole thing. I have the MF b2fab. I’ve heard that noise everyone is talking about out of the weeps. For test purposes I taped them all up. Yes it has made a difference on that specific noise sitting right at rear of truck. To me it’s still there with the main noise coming right out of tail pipe.

Imo I don’t think it’s bad or obnoxious with my set up. With @REBEL Ions video with the middle level replacement and others that went to the all the way open(straight pipe)muffler replacement it’s way more pronounced.

I have been looking at this as an exhaust option on my new RAM, but I was looking at 817633 vs 817846 as there doesn't seem to be any cutting of the factory components listed in the installation instructions. Anyone have personal experience between the two different part number/options? 817633 is labeled as the Outlaw exhaust system vs being labeled simply as a muffler and seems to be about $50 more expensive.

I have the same exhaust and to be honest I liked the sound at first but after doing a lot of highway driving I hate it. I have the 3.92 gears so maybe my rpms sit differently than those with the lower gears.

What do you hate about it on the highway exactly? Too noisy?

It maintains a steady loud noise bordering on drone. It sounds amazing when you get on the gas to pass someone but for moderate cruising it's rough. My wife now refuses to drive long distances in my truck because the sound gives her a headache. To put that into perspective she loves driving around in my 890rwho mustang with long tube headers catless x pipe and varex mufflers.

The fx muffler or the b2 MF would of probably been a better choice for you. That’s a bummer to hear the disappointment. Myself and many here do appreciate you sharing your thoughts on it.

It is all in perspective of the individual. Many options for our trucks out there now. There seems to be a lot of hit or miss. The more honest feed back, the more hits then misses will accure.

You are 100% correct it is all personal preference when It comes to sound quality.

Was there any increase in MPG.

Thanks for posting, I am on the fence on which B2 Fab direct bolt on to go with on my 2019 Rebel. Which one did you go with? Im in San Antonio too, good to see someone else from here.

I have the MF one with rear resonators still on. If you like, shot me a PM & we can meet up somewhere if you like to here it.
