Description
Overview
The Flowmaster American Thunder Cat-Back Exhaust System is engineered specifically for 2021-2023 Jeep Gladiator trucks equipped with the 3.0-liter diesel engine. Built from durable 409 stainless steel throughout, this complete cat-back system delivers a proven combination of improved exhaust flow, added off-road clearance, and an unmistakable aggressive-to-moderate tone that transforms the character of your diesel Gladiator.
At the heart of the design are 3.00-inch mandrel-bent pipes that promote better exhaust gas flow from the cat-back position rearward. On the dyno, this system produced maximum gains of 3 horsepower and 5 lb-ft of torque over stock, measured at the rear wheels, while the muffler-delete design frees up additional clearance underneath the truck for off-road driving.
Sound & Style
By removing the muffler, the American Thunder system delivers an aggressive to moderate sound level that gives your Gladiator diesel a stronger, more purposeful voice without overwhelming the cabin. The system finishes with a single 3.00-inch polished stainless steel tip featuring an embossed logo, adding a custom look and a clean, finished appearance at the rear of the truck.
