Overview

The Stainless Works 304SS Factory Connect 2.5-inch Cat Back Dump Exhaust System is engineered specifically for the 2018 to 2020 Jeep Wrangler JL and JLU models equipped with either the 3.6L V6 or 2.0L Turbo engines. Designed with serious off-road enthusiasts in mind, this exhaust system replaces the traditional muffler with a unique over-axle dump configuration that significantly improves ground clearance.

It bolts directly to the factory exhaust connection points, ensuring a straightforward installation without the need for extensive modifications. The system delivers a deep, aggressive exhaust note that enhances the rugged character of your Jeep while maintaining reliable performance on and off the trail.

• High-clearance 2.5-inch diameter catback tubing optimized for off-road terrain
• Unique over-axle dump design that eliminates the muffler for increased ground clearance
• Constructed from durable 304 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance

Construction & Design

Crafted from premium 304 stainless steel, this exhaust system offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting durability even in harsh off-road environments. The 2.5-inch tubing diameter is carefully selected to balance optimal exhaust flow with the necessary clearance to navigate rugged terrain.

All joints are TIG welded, providing clean, precise, and structurally sound connections that resist leaks and withstand the rigors of trail use. The innovative over-axle dump design removes the muffler entirely, reducing weight and maximizing ground clearance without compromising the system’s strength or reliability.

Performance & Sound

By eliminating the muffler and routing exhaust gases through the over-axle dump, this catback exhaust system produces a deep, throaty growl at low RPMs that perfectly complements the Jeep’s adventurous spirit. The aggressive sound signature enhances the driving experience during rock crawling and off-road excursions, while the efficient exhaust flow supports overall vehicle performance.

The Stainless Works Factory Connect Cat Back Dump Exhaust System is designed for a direct bolt-on installation to the factory exhaust connection points on 2018–2020 Jeep Wrangler JL and JLU models with 3.6L V6 or 2.0L Turbo engines. Installation typically takes under four hours using basic hand tools and includes all necessary clamps and hardware.

While the system fits precisely on JL and JLU models, minor trimming is required for 2-door JK models to ensure proper fitment. This straightforward installation process allows Jeep owners to upgrade their exhaust system without professional assistance or extensive modifications.
