Important Notice relating to US Domestic Market Trucks & Pickups
Many US-market trucks and pickups are available in multiple cab and bed-length configurations (e.g., Single Cab, Extended Cab, Double/Crew Cab, CrewMax, 5.5ft/6.5ft/8ft beds, etc.). Exhaust system fitment can vary between these chassis versions.
Where available, we list all compatible vehicles, cab types, and bed lengths in the product description. However, depending on your exact configuration, some systems may require optional extension/mid-pipes or minor modification for correct fitment.
Because of these variations, please carefully check your cab configuration and bed length before purchasing. If you are unsure, or if your vehicle has been modified, please reach out to a StreetFX agent.

Exhaust Systems, Mach Force XP, Cat-back, Dual In/Four Out, Stainless Steel, Brushed, Split Rear Exit, Polished Black Tips, BMW, 3.2L, Kit
aFe Mach Force XP exhaust systems are constructed of mandrel-bent stainless steel and come complete with free-flowing muffler(s), OE-style bayonet hangers, flanges, and band clamps, plus all hardware necessary for a hassle-free installation. Offered in single, dual, or quad muffler configurations, their smooth curves and large diameter tubes help reduce restriction and keep exhaust gas flowing smoothly for increased horsepower and torque.
Available in cat-back, axle-back, and downpipe-back designs, almost all Mach Force XP exhausts are direct bolt-on systems that require no cutting or drilling and include all necessary hardware for a hassle-free installation. Most also include wrinkle-black powdercoated or polished 304 stainless steel tip(s) with a laser-cut stainless steel aFe power badge. Select models have carbon fiber tips with CNC-machined laser-etched inserts.
aFe Mach Force XP exhaust systems are an ideal combination of performance, fit, and value. Additional features include:
• Fit a variety of light trucks and cars, including European models
• Available with 409 or 304 stainless tubing (varies by model)
• "Stepped design" models increase exhaust velocity creating a broader torque curve throughout the rpm range
• Straight-through, free-flowing stainless steel mufflers absorb high-pitch tones producing powerful sound
• Leak-free 360 degree sealing
• Stable pipe location in high-vibration and high-heat conditions
• Bayonet tips hold hanger bushings in place for an OE-style fit
• Several versions convert OE single exhaust to dual exhausts
• Where applicable, incorporates an exhaust valve that uses the OE exhaust valve motor (not included) to regulate exhaust flow
• Some systems use a unique resonance chamber to replace the OE muffler; produces a weight savings of up to 15 lbs.
• Hi-Tuck design of specific models provide extra ground clearance when using an aftermarket suspension kit
Note: Some aFe Mach Force XP systems are "Race Only" products solely for competition use. Their use is limited to closed-course racing that is formally sanctioned by a recognized racing organization. Any other use, including recreational off-road use, could be in violation of local, state, and federal laws.
