Description
Overview
The Flowmaster American Thunder® cat-back exhaust system is engineered for the 2004-2008 Ford F-150 and Lincoln Mark LT equipped with the 4.6L or 5.4L engine. It’s the ideal upgrade for truck owners who want a deep, aggressive exterior sound paired with a moderate interior tone, backed by the performance benefits Flowmaster is known for. This is a complete bolt-on kit that delivers a serious attitude without the drone, transforming both the sound and the presence of your F-150 or Mark LT.
At the heart of the system is a specially designed Super 40â„¢ Series performance muffler, feeding dual 2.50-inch aluminized steel tailpipes. The entire system is built from 16-gauge mandrel-bent aluminized steel tubing with a 3.00-inch inlet, so exhaust flows freely from the muffler through to a pair of large 3.00-inch polished stainless steel tips that finish the look with a clean, muscular appearance.
DOR / DOS Configuration
This American Thunder system is a versatile DOR/DOS (Dual Out Rear or Dual Out Side) design. You can route the tailpipes to exit either behind the rear wheels — ideal for towing — or straight out the back under the rear bumper for an aggressive, muscular stance. Because the pipes use the factory hanger locations, the configuration you choose bolts up cleanly with no fabrication required.
