Title: Flowmaster American Thunder System 17104
Post by: hdptsr on February 12, 2023, 08:20:55 PM

Hello,

I Have a factory small block 350 dual exhaust car and wanted to replace the exhaust.  I was considering the Flowmaster American Thunder 17104 system.  Can you use the factory exhaust hangers or do you have to drill through the floorboard and use the hangers they provide.  I would like to really use the factory hangers to make it look as original as possible.  any insight anyone can provide would be great!  Thanks  :)[/b]

the tail pipe hangers might be able to be used but I currently have this on the 68 L78 car.  Im not a fan.  I plan to replace in the future with something more day 2.  I have an old Thrush transverse muffler and maybe have a system bent up like I did my 67.  I ran the Pypes Race Crossflow Muffler and it sounded decent with an X pipe.  Here are some photos and links of that system and a couple clips of the green car and my old blue 67.  But to answer your original question you can use factory locations but not the clamps on the tail pipes.


Green car - Flowmaster system.
