Product Details

Force II™ Aluminized Steel Cat-Back Exhaust System with Single Side Exit (17166) by Flowmaster®. Exhaust System Type: Cat-Back. Exhaust Tubing Material: Aluminized Steel. Main Tubing Diameter: 3". Exhaust System Sound: Mild / Stock. The Force II Series is designed for a reach deep tone experience, suitable for everyday street driving. The character of the exhaust sound still has the deep, rumbling tone that signifies power, but at a more subdued decibel level that gives a pleasant performance character to driving without being tiring.

Installation

Flowmaster® - Force II™ Aluminized Steel Cat-Back Exhaust System Installation Instructions

The Force II system can improve power, torque, responsiveness and mileage for any vehicle and bring true performance rumble to everyday drivers. The performance character of the sound is unmistakable, without being aggressive. It is a power sound that is perfect for long distance or commuter driving, a sound that shows off the muscle of the engine without tiring the driver or drawing unwanted attention from neighbors and law enforcement.

All Flowmaster exhaust systems give the same improvement of performance. All Flowmaster exhaust systems produce a beautiful deep performance tone. Choosing between the five different exhaust systems is not a technical decision – it is all up to your personal taste. It's A Sound Decision™. The racing origin is evident in every Flowmaster exhaust system. All the five series of systems are tuned for maximum performance. They differ in technology and tuning, and thus in tone and character, giving you a performance engine sound to your personal liking.

Flowmaster exhaust systems employ two unique technologies, the patented Delta Flow and the Laminar Flow. They give different characters of sound and can be tuned to achieve the desired exhaust note. Flowmaster Exhaust System Technology is so versatile and gives such a high degree of control that it is used both by racers, who want maximum power, and by the U.S. Air Force in Stealth applications, where maximum silence and minimum heat emissions are prime considerations.

Be it for a domestic or import truck, SUV, off-road warrior, daily driver, muscle car, euro-spec cruiser or sport compact vehicle, Flowmaster technicians personally hand select the right muffler, tubing size, resonator, and tip to make the process easy for you. Best of all, Flowmaster stainless steel exhaust systems are covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty; ensuring that your exhaust will last as long as you own your vehicle. If you choose aluminized steel products, Flowmaster backs them up with a 3-year warranty.

Not Bad ;)

Good sound (but it could be louder ;)), the shipping was great (because I live in Germany). At the end, I love the exhaust...

Exactly What I Wanted!

The Flowmaster sound is exactly what I was looking for, for my F150 5.0. Sounds great and added a bit of noticeable power. One negative to the kit was that the incorrect size exhaust tip was provided, however, customer service was able to get the correct tip shipped quickly.

Flowmaster Force 11

Excellent looking exhaust system. Sounds very nice, relatively quiet if driven lightly but has a real nice rumble if driven hard. It fits very nice and was very easy to install. I would recommend this exhaust to anyone who is looking.

Customer Sevice

Well I bought this system Flowmaster 17161 did not fit my 1988 Chevrolet K5 Blazer. Either it was missing a pipe over the rear axle ( which I really doubt because it was boxed really tight, so I can't) really rate it from performance insight. But I don't know what to do with it now. But I'm sure it is one isolated case. Flowmaster makes a good quality product. Thank you for listening to me.

Perfect Fit And Sound

I was looking to replace a stock 2004 Surburban Z71 cat back system with something that sounded a little grumpy while sitting at a stoplight but less noticeable at speed. I have never ordered from TRUCKiD before and I generally do not do reviews even though I base most of my purchasing decisions on them. The short version...I ordered this system and it showed up about 4 days later. Easily installed with no fab work. Pleasant sound because the wife has not commented on it. Wife tested.

Very Happy

The cat back Flowmaster exhaust was an easy install on my 03 Dodge Durango 4.7 It sounds great. Just enough rumble and not too loud. It sounds very controlled.

Sounds Great!

Was easy to install, but the clamps didn't seem to hold very well. I tightened so tight that the bolt snapped. So, I welded the fittings. Other than that, it's better than stock.

Great Sounding Exhaust

Install was pretty smooth on my 2014 Charger. Sounds great under acceleration, drone when the MDS kicks in is easily overcome by the stereo. Only gripe is that the hangers may be just a little too long. The exhaust rests on the lateral fame ties, put an oven mitt under it so it doesn't rattle on the frame.
