Product Description

The aFe 49-37043-B Takeda axle-back exhaust system is a performance upgrade tailored for the 2021-2024 Kia K5 GT with the 2.5L turbo engine. Built from mandrel-bent 304 stainless steel, this system transitions from a 3.00" inlet to a 2.50" outlet for optimal flow and backpressure management.

It features quad 4" black stainless steel tips with a laser-etched Takeda logo, giving a sporty and aggressive appearance. The exhaust is fully MIG-welded for strength and durability, and it bolts directly to the factory exhaust system using existing flanges and hangers - no cutting required for installation. A mitered merge collector is included to smooth airflow and improve throttle response.

With performance gains of up to +12 HP and +15 lb-ft of torque, this system adds both performance and sound without compromising on reliability. Ideal for K5 GT owners who want to improve exhaust flow, enhance tone, and keep a clean, OEM-compatible installation.
