Overview
The Flowmaster American Thunder Cat-back Exhaust System is engineered for owners of 2011-2019 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD trucks equipped with the 6.0L engine who want a bolder exhaust note and the performance benefits that come with a genuine Flowmaster upgrade. Part of the respected American Thunder series, this complete cat-back kit delivers a moderate to aggressive sound level both inside and outside the cab, giving your heavy-duty truck a deeper, more purposeful tone without sacrificing everyday drivability.
At the heart of the system is a stainless steel 50 Series HD muffler, tuned to produce the assertive sound that Flowmaster is known for. Backing it up are large dual 3.00-inch stainless steel mandrel-bent tailpipes that promote smooth exhaust flow, all fed by a 3.50-inch inlet. The kit is finished with beautifully polished 4.00-inch stainless steel tips for a clean, aggressive appearance that matches the sound.
Configurable Exit Options
Flexibility is built in. The dual tailpipes can be configured to exit either dual out the sides or dual straight out the back, so you can dial in the look and clearance that best suits your truck. Choose the exit style that fits your setup and preferences.
