Description
Overview
The Flowmaster American Thunder Cat-back Exhaust System is built for the enthusiast who wants the aggressive look and sound of a NASCAR race truck combined with all the flow-driven benefits of a genuine Flowmaster cat-back setup. Engineered as a D.O.S.S. (Dual Out Same Side) system, it delivers a moderate to aggressive tone inside and out, making it the perfect choice for drivers who want their performance to be heard.
At the heart of the system is a Super 40 Series performance muffler, tuned to produce the deep, powerful sound Flowmaster is known for. Air moves through 3.00-inch mandrel-bent aluminized steel tubing that maintains smooth, unrestricted flow from the cat-back connection all the way to the rear of the truck, where the exhaust exits through dual 2.50-inch tailpipes capped with a pair of 3.00-inch polished stainless steel tips.
Key Benefits
This American Thunder system is designed to upgrade both the acoustic character and the visual presence of your truck. The aggressive exhaust note announces your presence, while the mandrel-bent tubing and Super 40 Series muffler work together to deliver the free-flowing performance sound that defines the Flowmaster name. The polished stainless tips add a clean, finished look at the rear of the vehicle.
