Axle-Back Conversion Kits

Axle-Back Conversion Kits: swap the last section, change the sound

An axle-back replaces everything from the rear axle to the tips - typically the muffler and tailpipe assembly - without touching the mid-pipe or anything ahead of it. That is why axle-back conversion kits are the most common first exhaust job: fewer connections, a bolt-on at the factory flange, and a straightforward way to change tone and tip appearance. If you want a louder or cleaner note but don't want to disturb the cats or mid-pipe, this is the section you change.

What we stock

There are 37 axle-back systems in stock here, currently priced from $178 to $1,735 - that spread is what's on the shelf right now, not a fixed price. Three brands are represented: aFe makes up the bulk with 24 systems, AWE Tuning carries 12, and there's one Magnaflow system. Fitment data covers 27 of the products across model years from 2006 to 2024.

Vehicle coverage runs across Chevrolet, Hyundai, BMW, Subaru, Honda, Alfa Romeo, Ford, Lexus, Jeep, Nissan, Audi and Dodge, on cars including the Chevrolet Camaro and Corvette, Honda Accord and Civic, Subaru WRX and Crosstrek, Jeep Wrangler, Nissan Z, Dodge Challenger, and the Ford Ranger, F-250 and F-350. Concrete examples: the aFe Takeda 304 stainless system for the 14-22 Lexus IS350, the aFe Takeda axle-back for the Honda Accord Sport, the Magnaflow Competition Series for the 2022 Subaru WRX, and at the top end the AWE Tuning Touring Edition for the C7 Corvette Z06/ZR1 and the AWE Tuning F3X 335i/435i Touring Edition with 90mm tips.

How to choose

The trade-off in this category is brand approach and budget. aFe's Takeda range gives you the widest model coverage and generally sits lower in the price band. AWE Tuning's Touring Edition systems land at the top end and lead with polished chrome or silver tip options. Decide first on the exact year, engine and body style - a system built for a 2.4L Accord sedan won't fit a different trim. Then pick tip finish and price. If you want more than the last section changed, step up to a cat-back exhaust or browse the broader cat-back systems.

What else you may need

An axle-back is the tail end of a chain. Ahead of it you'll find exhaust pipes, mufflers, and headers, plus catalytic converters and the exhaust flanges that join sections together. If you like the tips on one kit but not the system, look at standalone exhaust tips. See the full Exhaust section for everything in one place.

Fitment and ordering
