I ordered the Magnaflow Overland Series on a black friday sale, not knowing it wasn't compatible with the hybrid drivetrain. It was backordered till today. I like a bit more aggressive exhaust tone without droning, which is why I was drawn to the Magnaflow Overland. The online vendors website didn't say it wasn't compatible with hybrids, even the manual for the magnaflow doesn't mention it, or I wouldn't have removed the OEM exhaust. I see the aFe MACH Force-Xp Hi-Tuck doesn't seem to exclude hybrids, but I'll call them nonetheless. Has any hybrid owners installed an aftermarket exhaust? If so what is compatible with a little bit more aggressive tone?

I hear you. Everyone seems pretty weak when it comes to stating hybrid or not. I ordered a transfer case skid plate last July, but I'm now realizing it probably won't fit. I've got a pile of parts sitting in my garage, just waiting for the temps to rise above freezing (or at least a bit more) before I can start installing them.

It certainly makes it difficult if the vendors/manufactures don't make it obvious. Thank you for the echo of concern.

We have the AWE tuning exhausts that will for sure fit the hybrid and non hybrids.

Which system are you going with? Since I have the OEM exhaust off already, I don't feel like reinstalling it. So I'm going ahead and ordering the aFe Mach Force-XP, they said it was the quietest of the Hi-Tuck options.

I went with the AWE OFG exhaust with dual diamond black tips. (SKU 3015-33254). I’m a big fan of aFe products but loved the sound of the AWE.

Thank you for pointing out the difference, I actually got confused with the AWE versus aFe. I looked up what you ordered and it looks quieter, has an extra resonator that the AfE doesn't. So I switched my order to the same one your getting but bashguard only. Plus it's more expensive so it must be better.:cwl:

The build quality /material of AWE exhausts are much better. I have owned both on several different applications so 👍🏼👍🏼

Magna Flow Overland Exhaust ordered last September. Immediately found it does not fit due to the Hybrid mechanism and longer Transmission. Magna Flow was not helpful and actually told me it was an installation issue (BS). Many pictures with measurement sent and they finally admitted it would not fit.

They paid return shipping and a full refund. Took a month and left a very bad impression with me.

For the interim, designed and installed my own CAT-Back System. Works fine without any drone.
