Overview

The aFe Power Rebel Series Axle-Back Exhaust System (PN: 49-48067-B) is the ultimate performance exhaust upgrade for the 2018–2024 Jeep Wrangler JL — engineered to replace your Wrangler's flat, restrictive factory exhaust with a deep, aggressive growl and improved exhaust flow.

Whether you're wheeling on the rocks or cruising the highway, the Rebel Series axle-back delivers the performance sound and looks your JL deserves.

Key Features & Benefits

• 2.5" Mandrel-Bent 409 Stainless Steel Tubing — Precision mandrel bending (vs. cheap crush-bent tubes) eliminates restriction and maximizes exhaust flow for potential horsepower and torque gains.
• Free-Flowing Stainless Steel Muffler — Absorbs harsh high-pitched tones and produces a powerful, deep exhaust note that's noticeable on throttle without annoying interior drone.
• Dual 4.5" High-Temp Metallic Black Tips — Angle-cut, rolled stainless steel tips with a high-temp black powder coat finish and laser-cut aFe POWER badge for a custom, aggressive look that matches the JL's bold styling.
• 100% Hand MIG-Welded Construction — Every weld is completed by a certified craftsman for maximum strength, durability, and longevity under any driving condition — on-road or off.
• OE-Style Bayonet Hangers — Utilizes factory mounting locations for a precise, rattle-free fit that stays secure no matter the terrain.
• High-Quality Stainless Steel Band Clamps — Provides a complete 360-degree sealing surface for a leak-free connection every time.
• Fits Both 2-Door & 4-Door JL Models — Compatible with both Wrangler JL (2-door) and Wrangler JL Unlimited (4-door) body styles.
• 50-State Legal / CARB Compliant — This product does not require a CARB EO number, making it street legal in all 50 states including California.
