Flowmaster American Thunder for V6 Camaros - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

so heres my story...

i spent countless days listening and watching the various clips posted on all the exhaust kits for the camaro...for me it came down to MRT v2 or Flowmaster AT...since MRT stands for Mustang Racing Technologies...I refused to put that on my Chevy. Flowmaster has always been a brand I cherished but could never afford at younger ages on my previous vehicles, until now.

So...decision made, I took the next step in finding a suitable vendor. My search came up empty on various occasions due to back-orders. I discovered Performance Peddler. They offered me the lowest price on the internet today after I emailed them directly about price-matching. They didnt just match LMP and AA's price...they demolished em! I highly suggest Performance Peddler. These guys went above and beyond, because they too had it back-ordered. They called Flowmaster directly and had them send me the kit right away.

here comes the

and

part. They used UPS. ah man if only i coulda chose my carrier. UPS has let me down on a number of occasions...but have also done me well on the majority of them. This time...they send my package to my workplace damaged...the packaging was very good but it was clear that treatment of the package by UPS was not. Now reading a few things online lately, many people across the country have been complaining of smashed packages from UPS. Clearly someone or many persons at UPS are dropping the ball here. It does not take a rocket scientist to know that a box with "Flowmaster Exhaust Kit 2010 Camaro" on it...is meant to be handled with a little bit of ****ing respect. I wanted to dropkick the driver because even while walking up to the truck he was manhandling the box. The guy wanted me to file a claim...i was like your crazy..ive waited long enough to buy an exhaust to replace my tin cans and by golly im replacing it....the dented pipes were on the tip end so the guys at my shop fixed em before mounting the tips.

going back to the exhaust kit...i am 900% thoroughly satisfied in the sound and performance this kit gives. it 100% gets rid of any "import" sound the v6's have an returns a tone that growls Camaro in every gear. This kit should come factory on all Camaros because frankly it would make the v8 sound more beastly too.

anyone debating about exhausts...stop...look...and listen...dont cross that road...buy Flowmaster American Thunder...you will not be disappointed....only advice i can give...refuse UPS...theyre brown for a reason...their service sucks so everyone shits on em!

2010CamaroRS · 07-09-2010, 03:24 PM

Revo1 · 07-09-2010, 03:30 PM

Just youtube'd it- actually sounds pretty good! Makes the sixer sound kinda like a formula car! Not a huge fan of this muffler on the SS though...

MIT'13 · 07-09-2010, 03:34 PM

Wait was this cat-back or axel-back? Forgive me if this was said above and I sound like an idiot.

Axle-back

The Jerk · 07-09-2010, 03:37 PM

Cheapest cat-back I could find for the Flowmaster AMT was on amazon for $615. And that was for my V8 with GfX package.

2010CamaroRS · 07-09-2010, 03:42 PM
