Description
Overview
The Flowmaster Flow FX Extreme Cat-Back Exhaust System is engineered for the 2003-2024 Toyota 4Runner equipped with the 4.0-liter engine, delivering an aggressive exhaust note and a genuine boost in performance. Built around a Flow FX series muffler, this stainless steel cat-back setup is designed for drivers who want a deeper, more purposeful sound paired with improved flow and long-term durability.
At the heart of the system is 3.00-inch mandrel-bent 409 stainless steel tubing. The mandrel bends maintain a consistent internal diameter throughout every curve, allowing for maximum exhaust flow, while the 409 stainless construction stands up to heat, corrosion, and the demands of hard driving. On the dyno, this system produced max gains of 4 horsepower and 5 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels.
Built for the Trail
What sets the Flow FX Extreme apart is its turndown-style, dump exit positioned right after the muffler. By eliminating the over-axle tailpipe entirely, the system improves ground clearance and departure angle — a meaningful advantage when you’re tackling more extreme off-road situations. Fewer components hanging past the axle means less to catch on obstacles and more confidence on the trail.
