Product Description

The aFe 49-37041 Takeda cat-back exhaust system replaces the Kia K5's full rear exhaust section with 2-1/2" mandrel-bent, brushed-finish 304 stainless steel tubing and a high-flow muffler, producing a deep, aggressive sound while helping unleash more of the engine's available horsepower and torque. 100% MIG-welded construction ensures the system holds up to consistent daily driving and vibration over the long term.
