Construction & Design

The aFe Large Bore-HD exhaust system is constructed from premium 409 stainless steel tubing, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and strength under extreme heat. The tubing is mandrel bent to maintain consistent diameter throughout bends, ensuring unrestricted exhaust flow and improved performance. The system features OE-style flanges and band clamps that guarantee a tight, leak-free seal, while the bayonet hangers replicate factory mounting points to maintain stability and prevent rattling or sagging over time.

The polished stainless steel tip not only enhances the visual appeal but also resists discoloration and corrosion, maintaining a showroom finish even after extended use.
