So after Christmas I'm going to be purchasing an exhaust for my 2011 Ecoboost, but at the moment I'm torn between the Stainless Works Chambered exhaust, and the aFe Mach Force XP 4" system.

Was hoping to get some feedback from anyone that has either of these exhausts, as to the pro's and cons of the systems. Price isn't an issue as right now stage 3 has the Stainless Works on sale for practically the same price as the aFe.

Any opinions?

I have had the AFE ss exhaust for about half a year now and like it. Only thing is the black coating on the tip is coming off. So I will have to figure something out for that. Maybe powder coat. Fit and install was good.

How's the sound? I haven't found any good videos of it while driving, just idling sounds. Is it real raspy? Any bad drone? I don't mind a little drone just don't want something obnoxious

The sound ain't bad. It's no V8 sound for sure. I don't find the drone at highway speed to be loud or annoying. It's a little Ricey when you fully step on it. I've never stood outside and heard the drive-by, just have heard from inside the cab.

I don't have the ecoboost, I have the 5.0 but mine sounds good for the price. Mine was 400 out the door shipped to my local 4 Wheel Parts. I kind of wish I just bought the Borla ATAK but for 400, it can't be beat. If it was a little louder it would be perfect.

I have the 6.2, so I can't say how the Ecoboost will sound. But I have the Stainless Works Long tube headers, full dual exhaust system. The system I have is the performance connect for the headers, high flow cats., X-pipe, and duals with the S-tube mufflers. I've had the system for a little over three years. Except for being dirty from road junk, etc., All the pipes, mufflers, and even the band clamps still look New--ish? meaning no signs of rust, etc.. So I can attest to the quality of the Stainless Works exhaust, up to three years that is. And It sounds Wicked. I've not heard anything like it.

Wow this is like comparing apples to oranges. Of coarse any v8 will sound better than an Eco.

But he primarily commented on the quality of the product and even admitted he wouldn't know how the Ecoboost would sound. So....yeah.

True. My fault.
