Bill, thank you for your significant effort and time to post these.
So..it does sound as if the aFe is slightly throatier, deeper.
Looking at it mounted…the aFe tip does appear to sit slightly higher up, with a tad more clearance; is that correct?
Secondly, I’ll be interested to know how it sounds cruising at say 60 mph, and faster at 75 mph. In Normal drive mode.
Thanks again!
On another post - he mentioned no noise at highway speed
I put some more details in my build thread:
Member Build - Overtrail Upgrades
It doesn't drone, that would be a deal killer for me. You can hear it a bit on B-roads around about 40-50 mph but on the highway the sound is drowned out by wind & tires and general traffic road noise. Driving along with the radio OFF you probably won't even notice it.
You get the tiniest bit more throaty note on hard acceleration in Sport+ mode but not much. I was actually expecting more sound but I'm fine with it the way it is. The last thing I want is to be annoyed on long highway runs which I do nearly every day.
I do miss my Borla muffler on my Land Rover 4.6 liter V8. That sounded great.
And yes, the tip sits up a bit higher and no low-hanging resonator box.

. I ordered a scorcher BT and have been contemplating the exhaust and intakes but worried about warranty.
tailpipe only
Damn. Sounds good!!
I wanna switch my magnaflow to this axle back, but im contemplating on the full exhaust from AFE or the remark bold exhaust as well. The magnaflow drones so much, i wonder how the full exhaust system will sound with no muffler at the end.
These clips are very helpful, ty for sharing.
hmmm I dont know if its my ears but the nytop sounds like a deeper sound compared to this.
if anything, it's the difference in the vibration of the pipe material. It's pretty much an extended exhaust tip....lol.
In addition to the materials (NYTOP is Ti and aFe is stainless-steel), the NY one is much shorter - it literally dumps right over the axle. The aFe exhaust extends much farther back. Look at the hangers on NY vs aFe.
Mine arrives today - so will venture into the install this week. Im curious to see how either of these will work with a future expanded fuel tank. I'd feel better ditching the steel than titanium given the price difference.
Anyone have, or will be ordering, the full exhaust? I’d like to hear the difference in sound vs just the tailpipe.
Here’s a YouTube video of the full exhaust. Sounds pretty good imo.
I like the thought/decision behind extending the pipe lower and out more because fewer sound waves will vibrate and resonate within the chassis. my magnaflow does the same thing as the NYtop and i think it creates unnecessary vibrations and drone in the car.
That sounds pretty cool but I don't think I want that much growl in my truck.
I've got a special button for that action in my other car....
