aFe Power49-46219 MACH Force-Xp Axle-Back Exhaust System

I am a very picky when buying upgrades for my Jeep. Being an engineer, I have a habit of researching the heck out of things before I purchase. I was very skeptical with the reviews I found on this exhaust. I had three main areas interest that were important to me. 1.) Hwy Drone…. 2.)Sound quality… 3.)High ground clearance.My jeep is setup with Sound Deading in all the inside doors panels, rear passenger floor, and under the MOPAR Head Liner on the Hard Top roof. I run 5.13’s gears, 3" lift, and 37's on Bead Locks. I can tell you I am impressed with sound of this exhaust. It has a nice sound at start up and no noticeable drone at Hwy Speeds. Daily Driving I think it’s very comparable to the Stock Muffler.I believe it’s everything I wanted.Pros: Quality material, welds, and craftsmanship. There is “no longer” a spot welded metal badging on the exhaust, which is a plus. It fits a nice high and tight, with loads of ground clearance. It’s not much louder than stock exhaust, but there is a nice low tone on start up, but no noticeable drone at hwy speeds. I it will not upset your neighbors as they sleep.Con: Removing the stock muffler sucks. The difficultly include separating exhaust pipe and the exhaust. An hanger on the right side of the jeep jk. This took the most amount of time to accomplish, even with the correct tools. Use WD 40!My only complaint.. I dropped from 15mpg to 13mpg, even with a superchip flashpaq, and K&N drop in filter.

I installed this exhaust on my 2008 wrangler. Total install time was probably around an hour, and at least 45 minutes of that was cutting and prying my old, rusty muffler off. It went in easily and has a good quiet tone without sounding obnoxious like so many JK after market exhausts do. It tucks up behind the rear bumper well and weighs substantially less than the factory exhaust. Overall I'm happy with it and hope it lasts. Being stainless steel construction that shouldn't be an issue.

The install was a snap. I like the mellow sound. The power seems to be the same, we shall see how my gas milage changes. I have the superchip Jeep flash tuner as well as the AFE sealed cold air intake; I waned to complete stage 3 with an exhaust. I really love the way this one fits. It tucks under so well giving me some more clearance not to mention the size and weight difference from stock. I recommend this product. I had a bad experience with the last exhaust (another Brand) I ordered so I called AFE and asked about this one. The staff at AFE were great at answering my questions. AFE will have my business for other vehicles in the future.

This is a Great Exhaust Muffler! When you first start your Jeep you get a beautiful rumble and when you get on it, you get a rich full sound and when your cruising around town, idling, or on the highway you don't get that incessant droning that all those other mufflers seem to thick is a great sound. Personally I call them the little kids exhaust. If you want a serious exhaust with great performance and a great sound then you need this muffler!

It was easy to install. Good tone on the highway with a touch of rumble. Tucks up nice so you don’t drop on the tip when coming off rocks or ledges when off-roading.
