do they make a 80 series cat back package? i have been searching all day for one but i couldnt find anything other then just the muffler. i need to get some kind of cat back system by tomorow for emissions at the end of the month and i like the way flowmasters look and sound. and does anyone know a good combo for a cat as well with the 80 series?
thanks ahead of time

thats a different muffler then the flowmaster 80 series though isnt it? and does it sound different?

 

Nopers. The American Thunder catback exhaust comes with the dual outlet 80 series muffler

 

no that is the 80 series. If its a crossflow then its an 80 series

 

thanks alot guys. i was really confused but you guys cleared stuff up. oh and i have a question. im getting exhaust today but i still have stock 2 1/2 inch pipes and i was wondering if i should get just a 80 series 2 1/2 muffler? or should i save up my money and get that sweet package that you showed me up there?

 

I just had a "cat back system" installed in my car. The muffler shop was a flowmaster distributor. I told them I wanted the 43083 muffler, 3 inch in two 2.5 inch out. I told them I wanted a 3 inch I pipe and they went ahead and did it for 214$ installed. The pipe was not from flowmaster, but I ended up with with a "cat back system" with a flowmaster "80" series. So you dont have to order a a full cat back system from flowmaster. A cat back is a cat back, well, assuming that the exhaust place uses mandrel bent pipes (which mine are) you will end up with a system that is just as good.

 

Why didn't you want a 3" in 3" out?

 

Because they don't make an 80 series with 3" out!

 

Who makes a muffler with 3" out?? I really wanna get rid of my skinny looking 2.5" tailpipes (I have a flowmaster 80 series with 2.5 in and out).

 

You can get the complete 3" 80 Series dual outlet if you order the exhaust system that has it. I never see it listed as a piece you can buy alone, but I'd ask anyway.

Yeah but they're listing this setup only for single cat cars. Mine has dual and they list only a 2.5" catback setup for dual cats. Another reason it wouldn't work is cuz I believe the I pipe to cat fitting is slip on for single cat cars and on mine the end of the pipe is flared and uses a circular clamp.

 

Yeah thats not dual 3" out thats only 3" in. They don't make dual 3" out!

 

I beg to differ, I have an american thunder sysetem 3 inch in and dual 3 inch out, it is an option 3 inch outs or 2.5 inch outs.

 

1986z28,
Is it a 2.5 out with an adapter and 3 inch tail pipes? Or is it a true 3 inch dual out? Just curious...
Rudy

 

the muffler, is 3 inch in with dual 3 inch out no adapters

 

1986z28
Is it flowmaster? I did not see one like that on their web page.
Rudy

 

it is an american thunder catback system let me see if i can dig up a reciet, I bought it prolly almost 2 years ago... sorry i can find the reciet, i ordered it from summit tho, if it isnt in the catalog ask they do have it.

 

1986z28,
Dont worry about looking for the reciept, I already installed one that had the 2.5 outs because thats all they showed on the internet site. If I knew of the 3 inch outs, I would have ordered that one. Thanks anyhow.
Rudy

 

part # 17233 has the single 3 in and dual 3 out, this is what I have on my RS.

 

Yup ML, they do make it.

 

Damn i wish i would have know that last year when i put mine in!!

I checked there catalog and researched everything before but still couldn't find it. Oh well the 3" in is still the restriction.

 

I thought it was still 2.5 inch out with just 3 inch stainless tips so in effect its still 2.5 out. Am I right?

 

nope, it is 3 inch from the muffler

 

Year One sells a 3" inlet and dual stainless 3" outlets in their catalog. Part #E836. That's whats going in my RS.:rockon:

 

Dual 3" outs .....whats the purpose?

 

looks

 

And supposed better flow.
