Yeah, go with 2 chamber (I think it's the 40 series muffler) Flowmasters. I don't know exactly what's in the American Thunder kit so I can't tell you bout that, but I can tell you that you will get the full effect (sound! and flow) of flowmasters with off road H-pipe. I LOVE mine.

hey, i would go with the 2 chamber flowmasters as well, simply for the fact that i havent heard of the other one and 2ndly cause its too $$$, besides, i have the flowmasters my self, they are awesome and they go very well with my pro-chamber h-pipe, hell of a sound.
good luck... 94GT 3.73, mac shorties, pro chamber h-pipe, 2 chamber flowmsters, mac pulleys, ram air induction, superchip 2" drop riding on 275/40/17's all around. |

My old exhaust system consisted of MAC 1-5/8 equal length shorties, SVO 2-1/4 off-road pipe, Flowmaster Force II cat back. It was a terrific sounding set up and a complete bolt in. Other than hacking off the stock tail pipes to get the old exhaust out from under the car. I didn't have to do any cutting. I was pretty pleased. I beleive though that the Force II set-up used 3 chamber mufflers as opposed to 2 chamber mufflers. My next system is gonna be a total kit bash. Headers by "ED" with a Dr. Gas-X cross-over, and a set of 40 series 2 chamber mufflers. rather than offset in/out I'm going with a middlein/out and I'll just angle the mufflers, pipes, and turn-downs

red5.0, You will have great sound with just the flowmasters, but I have to be honest, it'll just be soooo much better with off-road H-pipe , you'll get that real hollow, throaty , Mustang sound and better flow.
Remember, when you first get your mufflers on (even if you don't get h-pipe (~$160)) it won't sound as good as it will a week or so after they have been installed. Needs to heat up and cool down some amt of times. “…because, no one’s really gonna be free until nerd persecution ends.” ---Revenge of the Nerds ------------------------------- '79 Mustang Coup 4" Cowl Weld wheels (15x6;15x8) Stock 5.8L C4 w/ shift kit 1.5" MAC full length headers Holley 750 CFM Edelbrock intake 2.5" Off road H-pipe, 2-chamber Flowmasters 8.8" Rear end w/ 2.73:1 gears (sucks!)
