Description

Overview

The Flowmaster American Thunder Cat-back Exhaust System is built for the enthusiast who wants the classic look of a traditional dual exhaust with all the performance advantages of a Flowmaster cat-back. This dual-out system connects directly to your catalytic converters using a 2.50-inch flanged pipe, then routes mandrel-bent aluminized steel inlet tubes into large-case Super 40 Series performance mufflers for a deep, powerful sound that lets your performance be heard.

American Thunder systems are tuned to deliver a moderate to aggressive exterior tone paired with a mild-to-moderate interior tone — the sweet spot for drivers who want serious presence at wide-open throttle without an overwhelming drone inside the cabin. From behind, dual 2.50-inch mandrel-bent tailpipes exit out the rear and are capped with dual 3.00-inch polished stainless steel tips for a muscular, finished look.

Key Benefits

Like all Flowmaster systems, this American Thunder cat-back is engineered to improve throttle response, power, and mileage. Mandrel-bent tubing maintains a smooth, consistent diameter throughout the system to promote strong exhaust flow, while the Super 40 Series muffler provides that signature aggressive Flowmaster tone.
