About this part

2.5-Inch Performance Exhaust, fitment-checked

A 2.5-inch high-flow exhaust for the 2018–2026 Jeep Wrangler 4WD, built in corrosion-resistant 409 stainless with a matte black finish. The chambered muffler gives it a deeper, throatier note, and the dual-wall 4-in 304 stainless tips carry an embossed RC logo. Fits 2.0L and 3.6L engines. No cutting or drilling, though clearing the bumper may mean removing the stock tow hooks.

This 2.5-inch performance exhaust fits the 2018–2026 Jeep Wrangler 4WD across Sport, Sahara, Rubicon, Willys, and the 4xe variants, plus 2018 Wrangler JK models. The tubing is 409 stainless for corrosion resistance, the chambered muffler supplies the aggressive tone, and the dual-wall 4-in tips are 304 stainless with an embossed RC logo. Installation calls for no cutting or drilling, though you may have to pull the factory tow hooks for bumper clearance. It covers 2.0L and 3.6L motors and does not work alongside SKU 10599. Budget 1-2 hours.
