AFE Exhaust

[Mace Peveler]

So I put the AFE exhaust on my truck. Obnoxiously loud and terrible drone when the MDS kicks in. Back to the muffler shop today to remove it and install a Flowmaster muffler and delete the resonator.

Anyone interested in an AFE exhaust system? Used for one week. Will make a smoking deal to anyone interested.

Thanks,
Mace

I have one as well and was concerned about the drone when it was new and had first put it on. Now that I've had it for a while the drone has toned way down and don't even notice if it's there anymore. The system has seemed to be 'seasoned', broken in I suppose but now I think it sounds great.

The 6" tip is huge! Looks like a diesel or a ricer.

Yeah I neglected to see that when I ordered as well lol. I may cut the pipe before it angles out to the tire and mount the tip there.

I just had a 4" put on mine. Looks much better. My muffler shop guy advised me of not exiting the exhaust under the truck. He said the exhaust from gas engines will cause corrosion. I'd never heard that before. Mine currently exits past the rear quarter, but now has the resonator deleted.

And, the heat can cause issues. I saw a guy remove the resonator off his power wagon, and left the pipe where it was cut... well it melted all the wiring to his rear parking sensors!

I was told be the muffler shop to eliminate the engine drone with aftermarket exhaust I'd need to install the resonator back on the truck. The truck originally had a Gibson system that was almost too loud to talk at highway speeds. I swapped it for a flow-master muffler, that helped a lot but did not eliminate the droning.

That why the truck comes from the factory with a resonator. It's there to eliminate the drone.

My system now has a Flowmaster. No drone compared to the AFE.

How much does the tailpipe location affect the drone sound? Is there a difference between it being angled out the side or straight out the back?

 

[Mace Peveler]

Mine is angled out the side like the stock one was. Can't speak for the ones that run straight out under the bumper.

Any others that have cat backs that are drone free? I reached out to Corsa and they won't be making one for the 2020 PW.

Thx

If you want to eliminate drone you need a Helmholtz resonator. It's easy and you can tune it to cut the exact frequency of the annoying drone.

Thanks. I've not heard of these and am now googling for more info

So, I still have this exhaust system laying in my garage. I'm offering it up for free to any fellow Power Wagon owner that wants to come get it.
