aFe MACH Force-Xp Catback — Tacoma, Single Polished Tip

Tacoma MACH Force-Xp with one polished rear-side tip

The aFe 49-46042-P MACH Force-Xp uses 2-1/2-inch to 3-inch mandrel-bent 409 stainless tubing, hand MIG welds and an 18-inch straight-through 409 stainless muffler. One angle-cut 4-1/2-inch polished tip with aFe badge finishes the passenger rear-side exit; the selected guide identifies the tip as 304 stainless. The main tubing is not 304 and the selected system does not supply dual tips.

Key Features

• Selected aFe part 49-46042-P.
• 2-1/2-inch to 3-inch 409 stainless main tubing, hand MIG welded; high-flow straight-through 18-inch 409 stainless muffler.
• One selected 4-1/2-inch polished 304 stainless tip, not a pair of outlets or both common-guide finishes.
• one mid-pipe 05-144229, one 16-inch extension 05-144230, one muffler assembly 05-144231, one over-axle section 05-144232, one tailpipe 05-144381, four 2-1/2-inch bands 05-41061 and one selected polished 304 stainless tip. The guide labels that selected tip R49T30451-P09; confirm the printed replacement identifier with aFe before ordering a service tip. The other finish is an alternative, not a second included tip.
• The guide prints 127.8-inch wheelbase for AC/SB, AC/LB and CC/SB without the extension, and 140.6-inch CC/LB with the full supplied 16-inch extension. Actual short-wheelbase Toyota designation is 127.4 inches and Access Cab short bed is not a real configuration established by that abbreviation. Resolve the printed wheelbase/body labels with aFe for the actual truck; no Access Cab short-bed application is created and no extension trimming is specified.
• Factory front-joint hardware and gasket plus original rubber isolation mounts are reused. Keep clamps loose until the whole system is installed and aligned.
• The selected guide gives no numeric torque. Obtain applicable flange, band and tip-fastener settings; no 40–45 ft-lb setting is borrowed from Apollo GT.
• The selected guide recommends at least 1/2–1 inch from the tailpipe to body panels and retightening all exhaust components after 50–100 miles.
• aFe describes aggressive sound. No exact selected dyno chart is linked on the current page; no measured horsepower, torque or drone-free result is guaranteed.

Fitment

The current exact manufacturer has two full application rows covering Tacoma gasoline L4 2.7L and V6 3.5L, 2016–2023. The selected guide also prints 2016–2023, although its engine line incorrectly groups 2.7L under V6; the current full application rows establish 2.7L as L4. Match actual trim engine availability and confirmed body layout. The guide prints 127.8-inch wheelbase for AC/SB, AC/LB and CC/SB without the extension, and 140.6-inch CC/LB with the full supplied 16-inch extension. Actual short-wheelbase Toyota designation is 127.4 inches and Access Cab short bed is not a real configuration established by that abbreviation. Resolve the printed wheelbase/body labels with aFe for the actual truck; no Access Cab short-bed application is created and no extension trimming is specified. Trail stays 2021 only; Trail Special Edition is separately supported for 2023.

Specifications

What's Included

• The 49-46042-P kit includes one mid-pipe 05-144229, one 16-inch extension 05-144230, one muffler assembly 05-144231, one over-axle section 05-144232, one tailpipe 05-144381, four 2-1/2-inch bands 05-41061 and one selected polished 304 stainless tip. The guide labels that selected tip R49T30451-P09; confirm the printed replacement identifier with aFe before ordering a service tip. The other finish is an alternative, not a second included tip.
• Reuse original front-joint gasket, hardware and rubber isolation mounts. The separate tip attachment is distinct from four separately labeled band clamps; do not count its pictured attachment as an additional loose 05-41061.
• No catalyst, sensor, intake filter, electrical equipment or new gasket set is listed. Actual cab/bed and component revision confirmation is required if any printed label differs from the truck or packing list.

FAQ

It is the selected 409 stainless MACH Force-Xp cat-back for matching Tacoma gasoline 2.7L/3.5L configurations, with one polished rear-side tip and an 18-inch muffler.

No. The exact current manufacturer specifies 409 stainless main tubing and muffler. The selected guide identifies the one polished tip as 304 stainless. The alternative finish in the common guide is not supplied as another tip.

The exact full manufacturer table lists Tacoma gasoline L4 2.7L and V6 3.5L, 2016–2023. Match actual trim engine availability, named years and confirmed cab/bed layout; the guide’s V6-3.5L/2.7L shorthand does not turn the 2.7L into a V6.

The guide prints 127.8-inch wheelbase for AC/SB, AC/LB and CC/SB without the extension, and 140.6-inch CC/LB with the full supplied 16-inch extension. Actual short-wheelbase Toyota designation is 127.4 inches and Access Cab short bed is not a real configuration established by that abbreviation. Resolve the printed wheelbase/body labels with aFe for the actual truck; no Access Cab short-bed application is created and no extension trimming is specified.

one mid-pipe 05-144229, one 16-inch extension 05-144230, one muffler assembly 05-144231, one over-axle section 05-144232, one tailpipe 05-144381, four 2-1/2-inch bands 05-41061 and one selected polished 304 stainless tip. The guide labels that selected tip R49T30451-P09; confirm the printed replacement identifier with aFe before ordering a service tip. The other finish is an alternative, not a second included tip.

Reuse original front-connection gasket and hardware and preserve factory rubber isolation mounts. Leave the new clamps loose until the complete system is installed and aligned.

No numeric fastener torque is printed. Obtain applicable settings; do not borrow Apollo band torque. Maintain the guide’s at-least 1/2–1-inch tailpipe-to-body spacing and retighten all exhaust components after 50–100 miles.

The manufacturer describes aggressive sound but links no exact selected dyno chart on the current page. No measured power increase or drone-free result is guaranteed; another Tacoma exhaust chart is not treated as this selected system’s test.

Installation Instructions

1. Confirm aFe 49-46042-P against the exact vehicle and installed equipment. Inventory the actual components and follow the selected manufacturer instructions and current vehicle service requirements.
2. Match exact gasoline engine, named years, actual cab/bed and wheelbase, resolving the guide’s 127.8-inch and AC/SB labels before work. Inventory the actual selected polished tip and components, then cool and safely support the truck and exhaust.
3. Remove the stock exhaust rear to front up to the catalytic-converter connection without damaging original hardware or rubber isolation mounts. Keep new joints loose until the whole system is installed.
4. Install the selected mid-pipe with original hardware and gasket. For the confirmed 140.6-inch Double Cab/long-bed branch, install the full 16-inch extension with its supplied 2-1/2-inch band; the shorter supported layouts omit it. No extension trim dimension is printed.
5. Install the muffler using factory isolation mounts and supplied bands, then assemble the over-axle section, separate tailpipe and one selected polished tip. The common guide’s other finish is not an additional included tip.
6. Align and tighten all bolts and clamps to applicable specifications. The selected guide gives no numeric torque. Keep the tailpipe at least 1/2–1 inch from body panels as printed.
7. Retighten all exhaust components after 50–100 miles. No Apollo band setting, REBEL brake-cable-bracket operation, battery or sensor service, extension cutting or Access Cab short-bed application is borrowed.
