The 2.5in into dual 2in system is tuned for the 2.0L and 2.5L Skyactiv engines and delivers a sportier sound and a more exciting drive without any drone. It features 4in round black chrome on T-304 stainless steel tips that fill out the rear bumper cutouts. A bright chrome tip version is also offered as 11970. Ultra-smooth mandrel bends ensure maximum flow and power, and precision CNC manufacturing ensures an accurate fit.
