Construction & Design

This exhaust system is crafted from premium 409 stainless steel tubing, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and strength under high temperatures. The tubing is mandrel bent to maintain consistent diameter throughout bends, which reduces turbulence and enhances exhaust gas flow. The system’s dual 4-inch tips are made from polished 304 stainless steel, offering superior corrosion resistance and a visually striking finish that complements the Jeep’s rugged styling.

The design eliminates resonators to maximize exhaust flow and performance gains, while the bayonet-style hangers and band clamps ensure a secure fit and ease of installation. The use of OE-style flanges guarantees a tight, leak-free seal, maintaining system integrity over time.

Performance & Sound

The aFe Exhaust System delivers a free-flowing exhaust path that significantly improves engine breathing. This results in a measurable increase of up to 7 horsepower and 15 lb-ft of torque, enhancing acceleration and overall vehicle responsiveness. The removal of resonators produces a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note that enhances the driving experience without excessive drone, striking a balance between performance and daily drivability.

Installation & Fitment

Designed as a direct replacement for the factory exhaust, this system installs easily using the Jeep Grand Cherokee’s original mounting points. The included bayonet-style hangers and band clamps simplify the installation process, requiring no cutting, welding, or additional modifications. This ensures a straightforward, bolt-on upgrade that can be completed with basic hand tools.

Fitment is guaranteed for 2014 through 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee models equipped with the 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 engine.
