Construction & Design

The MACH Force-Xp Hi-Tuck Cat-Back Exhaust is constructed from premium 409 stainless steel, known for its excellent durability and resistance to rust and corrosion. The mandrel-bent tubing ensures smooth exhaust flow without restrictions or turbulence, enhancing performance and efficiency. Each weld is hand MIG welded to guarantee structural integrity and long-lasting reliability, even under harsh off-road conditions.

The Hi-Tuck design elevates the exhaust tip higher than traditional systems, providing critical clearance for extreme off-road angles. This thoughtful engineering reduces the risk of damage during aggressive trail driving and improves your Wrangler’s overall capability.

Performance & Sound

This exhaust system is tuned to deliver a balanced, aggressive exhaust note that enhances the driving experience without excessive drone. The stainless steel mufflers absorb high-pitched tones, resulting in a smooth and refined sound profile. Additionally, the integrated resonator minimizes exhaust drone at idle and cruising speeds, making it suitable for daily driving as well as spirited off-road adventures.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward and requires no cutting, welding, or modifications. The system uses all factory mounting points and OE-style bayonet hangers to ensure a secure and stable fit. This direct bolt-on design allows for a quick and hassle-free upgrade that maintains the integrity of your Jeep Wrangler’s exhaust system. Compatible with both 2-door and 4-door 2018–2020 Jeep Wrangler models equipped with the 2.0L turbo engine.
