Flowmaster Muffler
I am looking to put a Flowmaster series 40 DeltaFlow muffler on my F-150 with a turn down (no exhaust out the side). Will this cause a problem when it is smogged? I know that the muffler wont change any of the CARB stuff or emissions but I heard that if a smog check place can't easily put the sensor into the exhaust pipe, they can fail your visual inspection because the tail pipe needs to be visible. Anyone have any experience or suggestions? Much Appreciated!

Re: Flowmaster Muffler
It's possible. The best thing is to find a local smog test shop that aren't sticklers to all the beuaracratic rules. I go to the carwash down the street from my work, they have a smog test center and they aren't concerned about the visual. If it passes on the computer, it's all good. On my last truck they had to climb all the way underneath it to test the pipe.

Re: Flowmaster Muffler
Thank you for the input..I have been trying to figure out where I want the exhaust pipe. I would rather use a turn down than stick the pipe out the side. It's cheaper too!

Re: Flowmaster Muffler
I had the same set up on my ranger. One place would not crawl under my truck to stick the probe in. I just got an extension that I clamped on. Once it got smogged, I pulled it off. Took all of two minutes. Good luck. It seems it is all up to the individual smog check station

Re: Flowmaster Muffler
Having to get your vehicles smogged by the man must really be a bummer. The only "visual" my truck has to pass is my own!

Re: Flowmaster Muffler
Careful now, lumping the entire state of AZ into that last statement can result in erroneous data. The great County of YUMA has not ever had nor will it ever have smog testing, I can assure you. You can hear the freedom from the roar of my daily driver! (headers into 6" glass packs into 4" turnouts, into the atmosphere)
