Does the 2.0 have a SS exhaust system

[LuvHydro]

I've searched for a hour on Jeep, Google, here and I can't find if it does or not.

I haven’t had to do any exhaust work on any of our vehicles for 15 years because they all use Stainless.

I would expect a modern 2021 vehicle to also, but since its a Wrangler, I have my doubts.

Yes, factory exhaust is stainless. Just don't know what series it is.

Thanks, I was under it today putting on a hitch and it looks stainless.

Test with a magnet ? Just to be sure

From looking at mine (and like just about any other car I work on) it looks like 409 stainless. That stainless is what OEM's use and it is magnetic. Many car's I've seen (especially Subarus) use 409 exhausts but the flanges that bolt the pipes together, are not. Thus they rust away and the exhaust leaks, even though the pipes and mufflers look good.

I see my Jeep does not have those just a band clamp. I'll predict that the first failure of the OEM exhaust on these Jeeps will be the flex pipe. Lucky for us, the CAT is part of that pipe so that should be at least $1K unit when it fails.

Not all stainless steel is magnetic.
