Default LOL one way to get rid of flowmaster's chambers

i did an onramp pull earlier on the freeway, and went 1st-4th and in 4th at 3500rpm the engine quit pulling, RPM stayed there, engine shut off, check gauges came on, and the SOB backfired louder than it has before and blew the insides of the muffler out

i guess i now own the freest flowing flowmaster now haha.

I don't see anything in your signature that would require a tune. I drove my car with longtubes and cold air for about 6 months before i got a tune, and it never did anything like that.

it runs effortlessly. i ruled the opti out the first time. it never happens except for a rare occasion like that. and only when going through the gears.

LT's might mess it up a little but I wouldn't have thought it would blow the muffler out.
