The aFe 3in SS Cat-Back Exhaust with Polished Tips is a high-performance exhaust system designed for the 2015-2017 Ford Mustang GT V8-5.0L and V6 models. Constructed with full 3-inch stainless steel tubing, this system enhances exhaust flow and sound while delivering measurable power gains. In testing, it has achieved up to 11 horsepower and 14 lb-ft of torque, verified by in-house dyno testing. The polished tips add a refined aesthetic, complementing the aggressive performance improvements. This cat-back exhaust is engineered for durability and optimal flow, making it an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking increased horsepower, torque, and a more aggressive exhaust note.

Designed specifically for 2015-2017 Ford Mustang GT V8-5.0L and V6 models, this system fits directly to the OE connections using reduction tubes. It is a bolt-on upgrade that enhances both street and track performance. For maximum flow and power, it can be combined with aFe Twisted Steel Long Tube Headers and connection pipes (P/N: 48-33012-YC). The kit includes the full cat-back exhaust assembly with polished tips, ensuring a straightforward installation. Suitable for daily driving, performance tuning, and enthusiast applications, this exhaust system provides a significant upgrade in sound and performance for Mustang owners.

Overview

aFe is proud to introduce an all new Mach Force-Xp cat-back exhaust system for the 2015-2017 Ford Mustang with the V8-5.0L engine. In testing, this system resulted in gains up to +11 horsepower and +14 lbs. x ft. of torque verified by our in house dyno. This cat-back exhaust system utilizes full 3" tubing with reduction tubes to fit the OE connections. Remove them and combine with the aFe power Twisted Steel Long tube headers and connection pipes (P/N: 48-33012-YC ) for added flow and performance.This system incorporates dual, high-flow mufflers to improve performance across the power band while maintaining an aggressive sound. aFe also added an X-pipe to balance and evenly distribute exhaust pulses traveling through the exhaust system, creating more efficient flow and better performance while minimizing exhaust drone resulting in an awesome sound. To finish off the exhaust, dual 4" high-luster polished 304 stainless steel tips are included. This is a direct bolt-on system no modifications necessary and includes all necessary hardware for a hassle-free installation.

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 100º, 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.
