Product Details

AP Exhaust 30068 is engineered as a welded exhaust muffler assembly for Mazda CX-5 vehicles that use a factory welded exhaust setup. The muffler features a 28-inch body length, 10.50-inch body width, and 4.06-inch body height, with a 46.75-inch overall length. Its aluminized steel construction supports exhaust system replacement needs while maintaining the original transverse muffler layout. The Challenge line focuses on welded assembly applications where direct OE-style replacement is required, and this part number 30068 follows that approach for covered Mazda CX-5 fitments.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., PE01-40-100, PY33-40-100) for the same application.

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s original exhaust configuration before installation, especially on welded-system applications.

Because this is a non-reversible welded assembly, correct orientation matters during installation.
