Description
Overview
The Flowmaster American Thunder Crossmember-Back Exhaust System is built for the driver who wants their performance to be seen and heard. Engineered as a true dual crossmember-back system, it delivers a moderate to aggressive exhaust tone from a proven combination of components designed to work together. From the built-in H-pipe crossover to the pair of hand-selected Super 44 Series mufflers, every part is chosen to give your vehicle a bolder voice without sacrificing everyday drivability.
Constructed from 16-gauge mandrel-bent stainless steel tubing, this American Thunder system is designed with an easy fit in mind. The mandrel-bent tubing helps maintain smooth, unrestricted flow, while the stainless steel construction stands up to the demands of the road. A 2.50-inch inlet diameter and dual tailpipe design round out a system built for enthusiasts who want their engine to breathe better and sound the part.
Sound & Performance
The Super 44 Series mufflers are the heart of this system, producing an aggressive interior and exterior tone that announces your presence without becoming overwhelming. Like all Flowmaster exhaust systems, the American Thunder is designed to deliver improved throttle response, power, and mileage—so you get a system that both performs and turns heads. The dual tailpipes exit under the rear valance with a turn-down finish for a clean, purposeful look.
