Description
Overview
The Flowmaster American Thunder Cat-back Exhaust System is engineered for the enthusiast who wants a complete, ready-to-install dual exhaust upgrade with an unmistakably aggressive tone. Part of Flowmaster’s respected American Thunder series, this system pairs proven flow technology with a bold exterior sound and a moderate, livable interior tone — giving you the muscle-car presence you want without the drone that wears you down on long drives.
At the heart of the kit is the acclaimed Super 40 Series muffler, specially selected to deliver that signature aggressive exterior note. Every tube is mandrel bent for smooth, unrestricted flow, helping the engine breathe more freely from the catalytic converter back through the dual tail pipes. The result is a cat-back system that both looks and sounds like serious performance hardware.
Key Benefits
Like all Flowmaster systems, the American Thunder is designed to do more than sound great. The free-flowing, mandrel-bent design supports improved throttle response, added power, and better mileage — real, functional gains that back up the aggressive attitude. With a 3.00-inch inlet diameter and dual tail pipe configuration, this system is built to move exhaust gases efficiently while giving your vehicle a purposeful, dual-outlet stance.
