Upgrade your truck’s exhaust performance and sound with the Flowmaster American Thunder Cat-Back Exhaust System, Part Number 17428. Designed for 1999-2007 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 models with 4.3L, 4.8L, or 5.3L engines, this system fits extended cab, short-bed trucks with a 143.5-inch wheelbase and a single-flanged catalytic converter. It is compatible with both two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive configurations, including Classic body models where applicable.
Constructed from durable 16-gauge aluminized steel, the system uses mandrel-bent tubing to support smooth exhaust flow, dependable strength, and long-term performance. The included Super 40 Series performance muffler delivers a deep, aggressive exterior tone with a moderate interior sound level, making it suitable for drivers who want noticeable performance sound without overwhelming conversations inside the cab. Dyno-tuned engineering helps optimize the system for strong exhaust performance.
The dual 2.50-inch tailpipes are designed to clear the factory spare tire and provide flexible outlet positioning. Install the pipes straight out the back for a traditional dual-exhaust appearance, or route them behind each rear wheel for a practical towing-friendly configuration. Highly polished 304 stainless steel tips embossed with the Flowmaster name complete the installation with a clean, durable finish.
This direct-fit exhaust system uses factory hanger locations and includes the necessary hangers, hardware, and installation instructions for a straightforward home installation. The Flowmaster American Thunder Cat-Back Exhaust System is backed by a 3-year Limited Warranty. This product is not CARB approved; verify emissions requirements before installation. For an all-stainless-steel alternative with a Lifetime Limited Warranty, consider Flowmaster exhaust system 817428.
