Description
Overview
The Flowmaster American Thunder Cat-back Exhaust System is a complete dual exhaust upgrade built for drivers who want a moderately aggressive exterior tone paired with a controlled, moderate interior sound. Engineered around Flowmaster’s American Thunder series, this system replaces the restrictive factory piping from the catalytic converter back, letting your engine breathe more freely while delivering the deep, unmistakable character Flowmaster is known for.
At the heart of the design is dual 2.50-inch mandrel-bent tubing that flows into Flowmaster’s exclusive Scavenger Series X-pipe. This X-pipe layout is engineered for maximum scavenging performance, helping the system produce a deep, unique tone while improving exhaust flow. From there, the tubing feeds into a pair of specially selected Super 40 Series performance mufflers, which offer more internal volume than many competing brands’ mufflers and easily handle the flow demands of the Hemi engine.
Key Benefits
Every component is designed with an easy, at-home fit in mind. The system uses factory hanger locations and the mandrel-bent tailpipes exit into the factory rectangular exhaust tips, so installation is straightforward and the finished look integrates cleanly with the vehicle. All necessary parts and hardware are included, making this a genuinely complete cat-back package rather than a partial kit.
