Sound Clip



EDIT: My experience
Took 5 weeks to arrive

Just installed
Sounds great! 10/10 sound
When the flap is open it's pretty much a straight pipe from the cat back.

Will link video when its up.

Some things to note:
- Fitment is pretty good. The mid pipe hugs the right side pretty close. Worried on some bumps it may tap the side heat shield.
- We had to bend the hangers to get the height of the tips the same but we couldn't get the tips the stick out the same length. The left tip sticks out a bit further than the right tip. This could be how we installed it. Need to go back and tinker with fitment more

- The exhaust flap RATTLES like a tin can in a hurricane on a cold start. The first start up was more rattle then rumble. Will contact AFE to see if there is a simple solution. Once the car warms up though the rattle goes away

EDIT: FIXED exhaust flap rattle by bending the clip that connects the motor and flap

The sound alone is pretty amazing. I do over all like the exhaust. From behind its throaty and mean, lots of burbles and pops! The burbles and pops go away when in comfort mode. In the car, windows up, the cabin noise is only a notch louder, so you can still have a conversation and listen to music.

First half of this video is the install!! Enjoy.
