No the 80 series has dual outlets, while the American Thunder is a 3" single outlet on the drivers side. Here is a pic of my American Thunder Cat-Back.

They make that system with dual outlets. The full 3" system comes with a modified 50 Series I think or maybe its the 80 Series?!

I installed an American Thunder system with dual 3" outlets and 3" in today. So I can guarantee you it exists. =)

The dual out American Thunder is a modified 50 series..i just had one priced. This is for the rear exit dual tips though..the single out could be different ????

Does anybody know if you can get the 80 series with dual 3inch outlets, or is the american thunder catback the only one with dual 3inch outlets.

Well, yes there is a 3" inlet with dual 3" outlet Flowmaster for our cars. I have one on my car. However, mine came with the American Thunder cat-back kit and it had the over the axle portion of the intermediate pipe already welded to it so I doubt they will sell it seperately. I had been told by Flowmaster when I orginally ordered my system that it was indeed an 80 series muffler. So I am going to have to assume that they did not lie to me but I guesss that the guy I talked to at Flowmaster may have been mistaken....... Either way, it is a 3" inlet with dual 3" outs - you most likely have to buy the kit to get it though.
