Product Description

The aFe Twisted Steel Loop Delete Pipe (48-48024) is a purpose-built exhaust modification for 2018-2025 Jeep Wrangler JL and 2020-2025 Jeep Gladiator JT owners running aftermarket long-arm suspension lift kits. The factory exhaust loop on the driver's side of the JL and JT platforms is a well-known interference point with the majority of long-arm lift kits - making this delete pipe a near-mandatory upgrade for any serious JL/JT suspension build. It replaces the factory loop section downstream of the catalytic converter with a clean 2-1/2 IN mandrel-bent, 100% MIG-welded 409 stainless steel pipe that eliminates the clearance conflict entirely.

Compatible with both the factory OEM Y-pipe and aFe POWER's own performance Y-pipe, this piece integrates seamlessly into either exhaust configuration. It mounts to all factory locations and includes all necessary hardware. Note that cutting the factory exhaust loop is required for removal - review the instruction sheet before starting. For owners who want to retain proper exhaust pipe length and header scavenging rather than simply deleting the loop, aFe also offers the Twisted Steel Loop Relocation Pipe (48-48027) as an alternative.
