Key Features:
Built to meet the demands of off-road and street driving, the MACH Force-Xp cat-back exhaust system offers the following standout features:
- Mandrel-bent 2.5-inch 409 stainless steel tubing for maximum exhaust flow and durability
- High-flow transverse muffler designed to optimize exhaust scavenging and reduce backpressure
- Factory-style exhaust valve that uses the original valve motor and performance modes for seamless operation

- Large diameter stainless steel exhaust tips with laser-etched aFe POWER logo for a premium, aggressive look
- 100% hand MIG welded for superior strength and long-lasting reliability
- Hi-Tuck design to improve ground clearance and protect the exhaust system during off-road use
- Direct bolt-on fitment with no modifications required for most 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler models
Construction & Design:
The MACH Force-Xp exhaust system is crafted from premium 409 stainless steel, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and strength under high-heat conditions. The mandrel-bent tubing ensures smooth, unrestricted exhaust flow, minimizing turbulence and maximizing performance gains. Each weld is meticulously hand MIG welded to guarantee a robust, leak-free seal that stands up to the rigors of daily driving and off-road adventures.
The Hi-Tuck design not only enhances ground clearance but also positions the exhaust system closer to the vehicle’s centerline, reducing the risk of damage from rocks and debris. The black-finished stainless steel tips add a sleek, aggressive touch that complements the rugged styling of the Jeep Wrangler.
Performance & Sound
This cat-back exhaust system is engineered to improve exhaust flow, which can contribute to enhanced throttle response and a more engaging driving experience. The integrated factory-style valve allows you to control the exhaust note based on your driving mode. When the valve is closed, exhaust gases pass through the high-flow muffler, producing a smooth, refined tone ideal for everyday driving. Opening the valve bypasses the muffler, unleashing a louder, more aggressive exhaust sound that enhances the vehicle’s sporty character without drone.

The aFe MACH Force-Xp cat-back exhaust is designed for direct bolt-on installation on most 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler models equipped with V6 3.6L or 3.8L engines. No cutting, welding, or modifications are required, making installation straightforward for experienced enthusiasts or professional installers. The system retains the factory exhaust valve motor and integrates seamlessly with the vehicle’s existing performance modes, ensuring full functionality and ease of use.
