I need to find that quote you pulled from me- it was a CAT BACK system I tried installing that failed. I sincerely apologize for the misleading post, that definitely should have read cat-back, not axle-back.

However... I am STILL searching for the proper exhaust for my car so I have become quite the self- educated expert on this...

As for Flownaster (I exchanged bi-weekly correspondence w a FM R/D rep on this Mar-May)... currently, the American Thunder Cat Back NOR Axle Back systems will fit, due primarily to the large rectangular mufflers being obstructed by the center mounting piece and the angled braces. If you look back at post 9-10 on my build thread, you will see detailed pictures, as it stands, they don't fit, nor do they align with the mounts properly. Now, on the other hand, there is someone on this forum that had a set of Flowmaster HUSHPOWER axle-back system installed. That system utilizes a round canister like muffler, similar to a Borla. Also, even installing this system appearantly involved some tweaking at a local muffler shop, not an at-home bolt on. Keep in mind, if you check Flowmasters demo video, there's a distinct sound difference between the 2 systems.

Soooo.... to answer your question, it is possible to get the Flowmaster Hushpower system on, however NOT the American Thunder. And for some reason, some companies list the HP system as a AT axle-back, however I can tell you there are 3 systems that I have seen- AT cat-back, AT axle back and HP axle back.

Personality, I've got the pix at a local shop that has all the necessary equipment to build a custom exhaust, they're going to determine if they can fit the 3" AT cat back on my car by bending and reforming some of the system... keep u posted on whether that's a go or not.

(Just re-read your post, and realized your fitting a V6... all my info is relative to a V8)
