aFe exhaust owners please chime in

I'm about to pull the trigger and get the aFe exhaust but before I do I wanted to get some feedback from anyone with an aFe exhaust. Any input would be great.

i don't like their graphic design :P but i do have an active autowerke axelback which is supposed to be very similar in design. its loud and it drones.

i've had mine installed for almost 3 years now and still love it, i have the black tipped version which i think only aFe and cp-e offer. the sound is great but like the AA exhaust it does drone a little. here's some videos of when i first got it, the only mods on the car at the time where aFe exhaust and aFe dual cone intake. i'm gonna be installing iCarbon catless dp's soon and will post vids after. if you pull the trigger you should wait to see if any vendors have black friday specials on it. **********s and JleviSW usually does...

and here's my car while it was at aFe getting the parts installed and dyno'd (had prototype chrome tips on)

I've got the afe axleback with stock n55 mid pipe.. sounds GREAT! Just loud enough to hear it, nice little burble, minimal drone.

Just installed the axle back yesterday with black tips and love the sound. Like busyguy88 stated, just a little drone but nothing to write home about it.
