EcoBoost 502a 157”
So I preordered this exhaust over two months ago. I wanted a mid-side exit system, with black tips. At the time this was my only option.
I struggled with AFE’s communication during this process, it seemed oddly familiar to what many of us have experienced.
Anyways, I finally got the system today, I had already taken my stock exhaust off yesterday in anticipation for my package.(which can be taken off on jack stands without cutting it, despite some reports I’ve seen)
When I opened the package I noticed right away the muffler had a large dent in it, unfortunately on the bottom side.(so now every time I go under my truck I get to stare at it.)
Most AFE unboxings I’ve seen on YouTube includes a license plate frame and stickers, not mine, which was disappointing.
The instructions were absolutely garbage and pictures were illegible. Thankfully there are good videos on YouTube.
The install itself took me about an hour and a half from tear down to first start whilst hobbling around the garage with a healing ankle injury.
This system sounds amazing in my opinion. I thought it was going to be way more aggressive, but I was pleasantly surprised. Idle has a nice rumble, WOT is nasty! and the “drone” is just enough to let you know it’s there, but not enough that you can’t forget about it.

I know it’s not a V8.. blah blah blah. Go tell someone else how your buddy in high schools car with 3/4 race cam and camel hump heads used to clear pop cans with the front tires. Your “old school” 5.0 is the most modern v8 on the market. ?
