Construction & Design:

Built with durability and performance in mind, the American Thunder axle-back system features a mandrel bent 409 stainless steel tailpipe that ensures smooth exhaust flow and resistance to corrosion. The tailpipe is finished with a polished 304 stainless steel tip, providing a premium look that complements the rugged styling of the Jeep Wrangler. The high-mounted design not only improves ground clearance but also protects the exhaust from damage during off-road excursions. Flowmaster’s precision engineering guarantees a perfect fit that integrates seamlessly with the factory exhaust system.

Performance & Sound

This axle-back exhaust system enhances your Jeep Wrangler’s performance by reducing backpressure and weight compared to the factory muffler setup. The result is a more responsive throttle feel and improved exhaust flow. The sound profile is tuned to deliver a moderate, aggressive tone that adds character without being intrusive or offensive. This makes it suitable for daily driving and off-road adventures alike, providing an enjoyable auditory experience that complements the Wrangler’s rugged personality.

Installation & Fitment:

The Flowmaster American Thunder Axle-back exhaust system is designed for a straightforward, bolt-on installation that can typically be completed in about 15 minutes using basic hand tools. It fits directly onto the factory exhaust hangers and requires no cutting or welding. Because the system positions the tailpipe higher than stock, it is recommended to pair it with an aftermarket metal bumper for optimal clearance and protection during off-road use. This system fits all 2018–2026 Jeep Wrangler JL models equipped with the 2.0L Turbo or 3.6L engine, including both 2-door and 4-door variants.
