Construction & Design

The Gibson Black Elite Ceramic Cat-Back Exhaust is constructed from durable aluminized steel tubing coated with a high-temperature black ceramic finish. This coating protects against corrosion and heat damage, ensuring longevity even under harsh environmental conditions. The mandrel bent tubing maintains a consistent diameter through bends, promoting unrestricted exhaust flow and enhancing engine efficiency.

The Superflow™ muffler features a baffled and chambered design that balances an aggressive exhaust tone with minimal cabin drone, providing a comfortable driving experience. The dual split rear exit layout not only enhances the Jeep’s rugged aesthetic but also improves ground clearance, a critical factor for off-road performance. The black ceramic rolled edge tips resist discoloration and corrosion, maintaining their aggressive look over time.
