Description
The Flowmaster American Thunder® Cat-Back Exhaust System is designed for 2019–2026 GM Silverado and Sierra 1500 trucks (new body style) with the 5.3L engine and factory single exhaust. This system delivers a deep, aggressive exterior tone with a moderate growl inside the cab, providing both performance and sound improvements.
Constructed from durable 409 stainless steel, this bolt-on cat-back system features a single in/dual out Super 40® Series muffler and mandrel-bent dual 2.50-inch stainless steel tailpipes. The system provides maximum performance with up to 21 horsepower and 23 lb.ft. of torque gains at the rear wheels. Designed for towing and daily driving, it includes your choice of tailpipe exits: dual out the rear under the bumper or dual out the side behind the rear wheels to prevent blowing exhaust on trailers or boats.
Installation is easy with factory hanger locations, complete hardware, and detailed instructions. The system is finished with a pair of 3.50-inch double-wall polished 304 stainless steel tips embossed with the Flowmaster logo and backed by Flowmaster’s Lifetime Limited Warranty.
