Never heard of a "flow tube," or a "flow tube cap." You may be referring to the cross-over tube. It normally takes the 1/4" drive end of a ratchet, or extension. If it's really tight, you can heat it up to loosen it. Last resort is drilling it and using an easy-out. When you install the new one, lubricate it and or have a nut welded on it, for easier removal next time. JMO

I ended up using a torch and a pair of vise grips on mine. It worked like a charm for me after I broke a 1/4' ratchet,and then twisted off an extension!

Flowtube refers to the pipe that connects the mid pipe to the muffler. I thought you were talking about exhaust until I read "overheating," heh.
