Hey guys, I am thinking of purchasing a Flowmaster American Thunder Systen for my car. All I have now is a Flowmaster Muffler. I wanted to know if the Cat back system will make a difference in acceleration and high end speed. Is it work the money?? thanks alot

the greater the modifications the greater the affect modifying the exhaust has, especially with heads and a cam.

The only difference between a Flowmaster Cat-Back system and a Flowmaster muffler are the exhaust pipes.

If the muffler is still good, just see how much a shop would charge you to put bigger pipes on...it may save you some money.
