Flowmaster American Thunder kit Exhaust installed - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Just wanted to give my two cents regarding the Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust for my 2010 2LT Camaro. After 2 weeks of reading and researching my very first mod to my Camaro, I am pleased that I chose the Flowmasters. There is not one video that can truly capture the sound of the deep growl F.A.T. Trust me I have seen and heard them all via video. I was stuck between picking the F.A.T's or the MRT v2. Grant it i have not heard the MRT v2 in person. Same with the F.A.T.'s. After seeing and listening to the F.A.T's video's I wasn't 100% sure if that was the sound I was looking for. I ordered my exhaust kit from ourdealsrock.net for $432.59 total. Shipping was free. I had them installed on Saturday at Emmanuells Mufflers in Alameda which is the best muffler shop in the Bay Area. Once he was done and he started it I was blown away in way they sounded. I love the deep growl and I noticed little drone while driving. Oh, and the 4inch chrome tips were the icing on the cake. He did install them per their directions but he also welded them so that no one can steal them. Love him for that. On the way home I took the long way so I can enjoy the new sound my Camaro has. I now am finding any reason to get out and drive just to listen to them. It is like when I first got my Camaro back in 2009 and would wake up everyday just ready to drive it. If you go with the F.A.T's you will definitely not be dissapointed. I love the new sound they give to my Camaro.
Hope this helps the one's undecided about what exhaust kit to get.

Nice comments...sure wish I could hear these in person.

Thanks for sharing your experience. The FAT is on my short list. I've heard nothing but great freedback thus far from those like yourself who have purchased the system.

Jealous.....still waiting for FM to finalize the kit for the verts. Enjoy!

Trnsfmr · 04-12-2011, 06:34 PM

Considering Im less than a week away of buying a system (have no idea which one), I love to hear this! I will definetly be looking into this system!

VR Baron · 04-12-2011, 09:11 PM

Glad you like em. Was on my short list also and heard them in person, but went MRTV2 with all I have as the combo is different and could compare to scrmings vid as was similar. And they sound good on an SS also. That old muscle car sound!

Sneeks20 · 04-12-2011, 09:27 PM

Congrats on the mod. I too was on the fence with FAT or MRT but opted for MRT v1

Ten33 · 04-14-2011, 11:07 PM

Yeah! I'm loving my Flowmasters too!

FM AT for the win

KFH · 04-15-2011, 09:12 AM

I love my Flowmasters, combined with the resonated "X" (eliminates drone and rasp) and cai. People are impressed with the deep growl coming from a V6. One freind even thought it sounded like my Z28 from inside the cabin. I'm very happy!

K9camaro · 04-15-2011, 09:49 AM

I installed the FM AT kit on my Camaro while she still wore dealer tags. The sound is a huge step up from the nuetered factory sound.

Funny cause my wife was talking with my neighbor recently and I was pulling in and she asked my wife "Is there something wrong with his muffler cause it rattles my bedroom windows when he starts his car in the morning" and my wife smiled and said " it's the thunder" American thunder that is .....
