I'm considering changing up my mufflers. If I switch to a round, canister/ straight muffler will I need special flow tubes or will my current flowmaster ones work? The reason I ask is because my flowmaster 40's are offset and I could see that causing alignment issues with non-offset mufflers and tailpipes. Thanks, Drew

You will probably need custom ones.
It's hard enough to get them to match similar mufflers (you can twist them a little to make closely spec'ed mufflers fit), so it's doubtful with a tube or bullet style.

Keep in mind too, if you can see your mufflers from behind the car, sometimes those hacked in bullets can look awful because most likely they are going to go in at an angle.

Yea its a good point. Ill probably try my current flowmasters with the tailpipes. If I decided to change it up I'll go from there. The only bullets I'm considering are Magnapacks. If I go with those I'll probably have custom flow tubes bent.
