Exaust Help - Search has buried me in a sea of conflicting information - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have a L99 2011 2SS and I've decided to go with the Flowmaster American Thunder Axle-back.

As it stands it looks like the cheapest route is to order the axle back from Amazon and search for a local installer. I've tried to buy locally but all the exhaust shops want to sell me Flowmaster 40 series mufflers which I assume are not the same thing as the American Thunder. Am I correct about this? Second question, is there a PRO model and a REGULAR model of the American Thunder axle back or is there only one?

If anyone has a suggestion of where to order what I want at a good price online or locally to Central Florida I'd love to give my money to someone other than Amazon. I'm just beat down from months of confusing, conflicting information and I've grown a little impatient. I can order tonight on Amazon and be ready to install by the weekend.

Flowmaster American Thunder comes in an axle-back and a catback system. ON a L99 car the axle-back is pretty tame because you'll still have the factory resonators in the mid pipe. The catback will remove those and give you some more volume. Either system will sound unfortunate when the AFM kicks on but there is no way around that. We carry both system and generally have solid pricing and free shipping. I'd also add that installing these systems is very easy and can be done in any driveway with some basic tools.

Just get a Range V8 to take care of the AFM problem, I have 1 and it is awesome. There is more info on these forums about the Range V8
