It is the mother of all great mufflers, the original Flowmaster 40 Series Muffler! It is a street/strip muffler that has a very aggressive sound that is pure Flowmaster quality. This muffler is designed for use on street and strip vehicles. The Flowmaster 40 Series Original Muffler cancels out the sound waves produced in the exhaust against the built-in angled baffles. This gives you an enhanced horsepower and better fuel economy. And the best part is that you will be able to hear the Flowmaster note inside and outside your ride.

The Flowmaster 40 Series Mufflers are constructed from either 409 stainless steel or durable 16 gauge aluminized steel for value and durability. With Flowmaster's two-chamber design, power and sound are dramatically increased.

Flowmaster was founded in 1983 by Ray Flugger in California. It was conceived to be a solution to the growing problems with sound issues at race tracks in California. Flugger refused to accept the status quo of the day and instead pushed the exhaust technology past common thinking. On the way to numerous firsts in the exhaust science of automotive and numerous patents to protect the different technologies used in Flowmaster products. It ushered a revolution in automotive performance exhaust.

The company has two locations with a combined area of 400,000 square feet or 37,000 square meters in Santa Rosa, California, and West Sacramento, California. Flowmaster was manufactured to minimize the California Sprint Car engine noise without the need to sacrifice its performance from extreme back pressure produced by the traditional exhaust systems. From then, Flowmaster became a manufacturer of performance exhaust systems, mufflers, exhaust kits, racing mufflers, stainless steel mufflers, and exhaust accessories for muscle cars, cars, trucks, diesel trucks, SUVs, motorhomes, and most vehicles.

Ray Flugger was the private owner of Flowmaster until 2010 when it was acquired by the B&M Group and now are with three other automotive parts companies, the B&M Racing, Hurst Shifters, and the Hurst Driveline Conversions.

Flowmaster's mission has always been to convey to you the highest quality of exhaust products through advanced manufacturing experience, innovation, and dedication to customer service and satisfaction. Now, they are taking that mission statement to a higher level, by presenting exciting new product categories that enhances their exhaust offerings. Launching the "Delta-Boost" tuners for those turbo-charged applications and "Delta Force" cold air intake systems for a number of late model applications.

Now, deep into the 21st century, Flowmaster continues to endorse modern technologies in the automotive industry, as it continues to convey excellent sound and performance benefits to almost all types of vehicles from the legendary chambered mufflers to the laminar flow designs. They frequently introduce new products and applications, from mufflers to high-performance headers, flow catalytic converters, tuners, cold air intake systems, and a full line of carefully engineered bolt-on exhaust systems. With the continuous advancement of automotive technology, their dedication to creating the newest and best performance products become stronger than ever. When it comes to exhaust products, Flowmaster is the name you can trust.
