Construction & Design

The MACH Force Cat-Back Exhaust is crafted from premium 304 stainless steel, known for its corrosion resistance and durability under extreme conditions. The 3-inch mandrel-bent tubing maintains consistent diameter throughout bends, preventing flow restrictions and optimizing exhaust scavenging. The system’s dual high-flow mufflers are engineered to balance sound and performance, absorbing unwanted high-frequency tones while delivering a deep, aggressive exhaust note.

All components are precision MIG-welded to ensure structural integrity and a leak-free seal. The integrated X-pipe balance tube equalizes exhaust pulses between both banks of the V8 engine, enhancing flow dynamics and reducing drone for a more enjoyable driving experience.

Performance & Sound

Designed to unleash the full potential of Jeep’s 6.4L and 6.2L HEMI engines, this cat-back exhaust system provides a verified increase of up to 21 horsepower and 35 lb-ft of torque. The improved exhaust flow reduces backpressure, allowing the engine to breathe more efficiently across the entire power band.

The dual free-flowing mufflers produce a powerful, aggressive tone that intensifies during acceleration and gear shifts, while the X-pipe balance tube minimizes exhaust drone during cruising. This results in a thrilling yet refined exhaust sound that enhances the driving experience without becoming intrusive.
