Selected User Reviews For aFe Power 49-46219 MACH Force-Xp Axle-Back Exhaust System
When it comes to purchasing upgrades for my Jeep, I am extremely picky. As an engineer, I have a tendency to do extensive research before making a purchase. I was sceptical of the reviews I read about this exhaust because I had three main areas of interest. Drone on the Highway. . . . )Quality of sound. . . )Extremely high clearance from the ground. br>br>All of the inside door panels, the rear passenger floor, and under the MOPAR Head Liner on the Hard Top roof of my Jeep are equipped with Sound Deadening. I run 5. Bead Locks with 13s gears, 3" lift, and 37s. I must say that the sound of this exhaust impresses me; it has a pleasant sound at start-up and no discernible drone at highway speeds. I believe it is very similar to the Stock Muffler in terms of daily driving. br>br>It appears to be exactly what I was looking for. Advantages: br>br> Material, welds, and craftsmanship of the highest caliber. A plus is that the exhaust no longer has spot welded metal badging. It fits snugly and comfortably, with plenty of ground clearance. It's not much louder than stock exhaust, but it has a nice low tone on start-up and doesn't drone at highway speeds. I'm sure it won't wake up your neighbors. br>br>Con: if you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, this is not the place Getting rid of the stock muffler is a pain. Separating the exhaust pipe from the exhaust, as well as an hanger on the right side of the Jeep JK, are some of the more difficult tasks. Even with the appropriate tools, this took the longest to complete. Apply WD-40 to the problem. br>br>This is my only gripe. Even with a superchip flashpaq, my mileage dropped from 15 to 13 mpg, and K N drops into the filter.
On my 2008 Jeep Wrangler, I put this exhaust in. My old, rusted muffler took at least 45 minutes to cut and pry off, so the total installation time was probably around an hour. It was simple to install and has a nice quiet tone, unlike many JK aftermarket exhausts. Overall, I'm pleased with it and hope it lasts. It tucks nicely behind the rear bumper and weighs significantly less than the factory exhaust. That should not be an issue due to the stainless steel construction.
If you want a serious exhaust with great performance and a great sound, you need this muffler, which I refer to as the little kids exhaust.
- 4 lbs lighter than the original mufflerbr>- Stainless steel is less prone to rust than standard mufflers
br>- Muffler is much smaller than the stock muffler; less likely to collide with rocks, and easier to work under the vehicle, particularly the differentialbr>- br>br>Pros: br>br>It sounds better than the stock mufflerbr>br>Cons:
- When I installed mine, I had a muffler leak, which I had to fix with exhaust sealant. br>br>Overall, a great product; this muffler isn't a fart can, so it doesn't sound ricey. In comparison to the factory muffler, it sounds fantastic. You won't even notice it if you're not paying attention. When you're driving around town, you won't even notice it, so you won't have to raise your voice to communicate with the person next to you. It also won't wake up your neighbors in the morning (unless you really want it to). Only when the vehicle is under load (going up a hill, accelerating, etc. ) do you notice it, and even then it isn't unbearable, just a little louder. On the highway, there will be no drones.
It was relatively simple to install aFe's muffler, but removing the stock one was a PITA for me. WD- is a must-have item. A ratchet set, 40 handy, and a pair of exhaust pliers You may need additional tools, such as a propane torch, if your exhaust pipes are rusted like mine were. Alternatively, a cutting tool (such as a dremel) can be used. This should take about an hour without a buddy in most Jeeps, but I live in a wet climate and enjoy mudding, so there you go. br>br>Along with this, I have an aFe Momentum GT Cold Air Intake. The group sounds fantastic, and the performances have been nothing short of spectacular thus far.
This item was simple to put together and appears to be made of high-quality stainless steel that will withstand the elements. It's also much higher up than the stock muffler, giving you a lot more ground clearance, and it seems to give my Jeep a little more power/torque.
It's lighter and sits higher than the original, which is exactly what I was looking for. It was simple to install on a 2012 JK. br>br>Because there was no torque specified for bolts, I followed someone's advice and tightened until the clamp was closed, breaking it. I bought another clamp from a local parts store and installed it with a little common sense; no more problems. br>br>I removed hangers with RoboGrips; the exhaust removal pliers would have been easier. br>br>At idle, it's quiet; when you punch it, it becomes louder; this isn't annoying; it's just different. We'll see how long it lasts. br>br> br>br>After three months, I'm satisfied. br>br>Recent changes: br>br> br>Five years later, everything remains the same: good and happy.
Getting the old muffler out was a little difficult because the rubber isolators were stiffer than any I've ever encountered on my previous six vehicles (I've done exhausts on every vehicle I've owned), but that's not the kit's fault. The only issue I had was that one of the pipes or the muffler was slightly out of round, and it took some effort to get the two to fit together. However, once installed, the muffler is virtually undetectable; in comparison, the stock muffler is massive. However, despite its small size, the exhaust is pleasantly quiet until you really start to accelerate hard, and I'm completely satisfied with it, aside from the minor installation difficulties.
