Description
Overview
The Flowmaster American Thunder Cat-back Exhaust System is engineered for the 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 equipped with the 4.7L engine, delivering the deep, aggressive exterior sound and moderate interior tone that Ram owners look for from Flowmaster. This is a true bolt-on upgrade that pairs the performance benefits of the American Thunder series with a straightforward, at-home installation, making it an ideal step up from a restrictive factory setup.
At the heart of the system is a specially designed Super 50 Series performance muffler, tuned to produce a moderate-to-mild sound level that stays muscular on the outside without overwhelming the cabin. Air moves through 16-gauge mandrel-bent stainless steel tubing with a 3.00-inch inlet diameter, feeding into dual 2.50-inch aluminized steel tailpipes. The system finishes with a pair of large 3.00-inch polished stainless steel tips for a clean, aggressive look at the rear of the truck.
Key Benefits
This cat-back configuration is a DOR/DOS design, meaning it can be set up as Dual Out Rear or Dual Out Side to match how you use your Ram. Exit the tailpipes behind the rear wheels, which is ideal for towing, or route them straight out the back under the rear bumper for a bolder, more muscular stance. Because the tailpipes use the factory hanger locations, you get a precise fit and a simpler install with all necessary parts and hardware included.
