All FMF's products are developed using the most current design and manufacturing technologies available.

aluminum canister with a TIG welded stainless steel mandrel bent mid-pipe. Hi-Flo modular endcaps are fitted to
both ends and we utilize advanced 3-stage sound absorption packing material.
The Q
TM
