The aFe Mach Force XP 304 stainless steel cat-back exhaust system is designed to enhance performance for the BMW X5 M (F85) V8 4.4L models from 2015 to 2018. Featuring a quad rear exit configuration and constructed from mandrel-bent 304 stainless steel, this exhaust system provides increased exhaust flow, resulting in more horsepower and torque. Its aggressive and loud sound profile appeals to enthusiasts seeking a more commanding exhaust note. The system's main tubing tapers from 3.5 inches to 2.5 inches, optimizing flow dynamics and reducing exhaust gas temperatures for improved engine efficiency and durability. Each system is dyno-tested to ensure maximum performance gains, making it a reliable upgrade for high-performance applications.

This cat-back exhaust is a direct bolt-on replacement for the stock system on compatible BMW X5 M models within the specified years. It is intended for street and performance driving, offering a significant sound and performance upgrade without requiring extensive modifications. The kit includes all necessary components for installation, ensuring a straightforward upgrade process. Suitable for enthusiasts seeking increased power, a more aggressive exhaust tone, and improved exhaust flow, this system is ideal for both daily drivers and track-day enthusiasts looking to maximize their vehicle’s performance potential.

Overview

Mach Force XP 304 SS Cat-Back Exhaust System with Quad Rear Exit (49-36341-B) by aFe. Exhaust System Type: Cat-Back. Exhaust Tubing Material: 304 SS. Main Tubing Diameter: 3.5" to 2.5". Exhaust System Sound: Aggressive / Loud. Get increased exhaust flow, more horsepower and torque, improved performance and lower exhaust gas temperatures with the aFe Mach Force XP Exhaust System. aFe dyno tests every system for maximum gains, and constructs them from mandrel-bent stainless steel for maximum flow and long-lasting durability.

A performance exhaust system is one of the most common ways of improving a vehicle's operation. The theory is simple; just reduce restriction to increase exhaust flow and you gain power. But all exhaust systems are not created equal; in reality there's more to it than just selling some sewer pipe sized tubes.

aFe tests its systems on the flow bench and the dynamometer to determine the right pipe size and muffler construction. Then they mandrel bend the pipes to ensure they maintain their shape and size throughout the entire length, to provide smooth, unrestricted airflow. Tubes that are not mandrel bent can lose up to 20% of their diameter in sharp bends. Some systems also include a straight muffler delete pipe if a more aggressive sound and maximum flow is desired. A typical aFe system will increase exhaust flow by up to 29% and lower EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) by up to 100 , with a corresponding improvement in power and performance.

But performance is only part of the equation. A quality exhaust system should be easy to install and made to last. The muffler and all pipes of the Mach Force XP system are constructed from durable 409 stainless steel. To ensure a tight seal, slotted and swedged ends are used whenever possible. When used with the supplied premium quality band clamps, the tightest, leak-free seal is the result. Every hanger is thoroughly welded on each side to ensure a strong attachment and the hangers also feature swaged bayonet ends to lock in place once installed.

aFe (Advanced Flow Engineering, Inc.) manufactures performance products for late model cars, light trucks and SUVs. The company was founded in 1999 with an initial concentration on high performance air filters. Since then, the company product line has broadened to include cold air intakes, fluid filters, exhaust systems, intake manifolds, intercoolers, programmers, differential covers, transmission pans and throttle body spacers. The team of engineers, machinists, production and sales people at aFe have many years of experience in their respective positions, and together work to ensure they produce the best automotive products on the market.
