What Owners Say

Owners and enthusiasts consistently praise the aFe mid and X-pipes for delivering measurable power gains, with several reporting they easily exceed dyno numbers when paired with quality cat-back systems like Borla or Corsa. The performance benefits and competitive pricing make these pipes a popular choice for those seeking solid gains without breaking the bank. However, some owners note concerns about build quality, specifically citing inconsistent welds and grinding marks that don't match the finish quality of premium competitors, plus potential rust issues over time.
