I have a flowmaster catback and i plan on dumping them, when i took it apart i noticed a significant amount of carbon in the flow tubes (from h to mufflers) so i would assume my mufflers are clogged up too. how can i clean these?

kwik is right. No need to clean flowmasters. the is no insulation in them.
