Construction & Design

The MACH Force Cat-Back Exhaust System is crafted from premium 304 stainless steel, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and durability. The 3-inch mandrel-bent tubing maintains consistent diameter throughout bends, ensuring smooth exhaust flow without restrictions. The system’s robust MIG welds guarantee structural integrity and longevity, even under high-performance driving conditions.

The inclusion of an X-pipe with integrated resonators is a key design element that balances exhaust pulses between the banks of the V8 engine. This design not only improves exhaust flow efficiency but also reduces unwanted noise and drone, resulting in a more refined driving experience without compromising the aggressive exhaust tone.

Performance & Sound

With this cat-back exhaust, Jeep Grand Cherokee owners can expect a measurable increase in performance, including up to +21 horsepower and +35 lb-ft of torque at peak gains. The dual high-flow mufflers deliver a deep, aggressive exhaust note that intensifies during acceleration and gear shifts, enhancing the driving experience without excessive cabin drone.

The resonators welded onto the X-pipe specifically target and eliminate harsh resonance frequencies, providing a balanced and enjoyable sound profile suitable for both spirited driving and daily use.
