Product Information

A Flowmaster American Thunder cat-back for the 2015-2020 Ford F-150. It replaces the factory exhaust from the catalytic converters back and swaps in a 409S stainless system with a Super 40 muffler. Loud out back, moderate in the cab, and you pick which way the tailpipes exit.

Why Upgrade to the American Thunder Cat-Back

Per Flowmaster, here is what the system changes:

  • Aggressive sound outside, moderate sound inside. You get the noise at the tailpipe without it filling the cab on a long highway pull.
  • The plumbing is a 3.00-inch mandrel-bent inlet tube feeding a Super 40 series performance muffler, then splitting to dual 2.50-inch mandrel-bent tailpipes.
  • Polished 3.50-inch stainless steel tips. They are the part you and everyone behind you actually see.
  • Your choice of exit: straight out the rear under the bumper, or out the sides behind the rear tires if you tow an RV, boat or trailer.
  • 409S stainless steel, bolt-on, with all necessary parts and hardware in the box for an install you can do at home.

Install and Honest Talk

Flowmaster calls this a bolt-on and says all necessary parts and hardware come in the box for a home install. The factory exhaust comes off from the cats back and this system goes on in its place. Decide on your exit before you start: side exit behind the rear tires if a trailer, boat or RV lives on your hitch, rear exit under the bumper if not. Whether tools, a lift or jack stands are needed is not stated, so read the included instructions first. What else you need: [VERIFY: tune requirement, tools or lift for the install.]

The honest part: aggressive outside means aggressive outside. Early starts in the driveway, the neighbors will know, and a cop at a light will hear you before he sees you. Flowmaster describes the interior as moderate, not quiet, so plan on hearing it in the cab on the highway. If the truck is a Standard Cab/Short Bed, this system is not for it, no matter the engine.

No Robots. Just Car People.

Buying parts for your Mustang or F-150 should not feel like homework. Too many stores bury you in a giant catalog, slap the same distributor description on every product, and leave you guessing whether it even fits.


We do it the other way. We carry the brands you already trust, we tell you what a part actually does, and we give you the truth about the tradeoffs before you spend a dollar. Drone on that exhaust. Ride quality on those springs. Whether you need a tune. The stuff the big catalogs leave out.
