Construction & Design

Crafted from high-grade stainless steel, the MACH Force-Xp Cat-Back Exhaust System offers excellent corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability essential for off-road and daily driving conditions. The large 22-inch muffler is engineered to produce a refined exhaust note that enhances the Jeep’s natural sound without introducing excessive noise or drone during highway travel.

The innovative Hi-Tuck design positions the muffler forward and higher than traditional exhaust systems, protecting it from damage caused by rocks and debris on rough trails.

The large muffler design produces a deep, mellow tone that enhances the driving experience without being intrusive. Additionally, the system is tuned to eliminate common exhaust drone, ensuring a comfortable ride whether on city streets or open highways.
