Description
Overview
The Flowmaster American Thunder Cat-back Exhaust System is engineered for the driver who wants an aggressive exterior tone without a droning cabin. Built from heavy 16-gauge mandrel-bent aluminized steel tubing, this cat-back system is designed for durability and maximum performance, delivering a deep, muscular sound outside the vehicle while keeping the interior tone moderate enough to hold a conversation from behind the wheel.
At the heart of the system is a Super 50 Series performance muffler (part number 530562), tuned to strike that ideal balance between an aggressive exterior sound and a comfortable, moderate interior tone. Paired with a 3.00-inch inlet and dual tailpipe design, the American Thunder system brings both attitude and everyday livability to your truck.
Key Benefits
Every component is built to work together right out of the box. The dual 2.50-inch tailpipes are routed to clear the factory spare tire and give you a real choice in how your exhaust exits. Run it straight out the back for a true dual look, or route it to exit out each side behind the rear wheels — a configuration that’s ideal for towing. The system is finished with a pair of 3.00-inch diameter, highly polished 304 stainless steel tips embossed with the Flowmaster name for a clean, unmistakable look.
