afe exhaust raspy
My afe scorpion hi tuck exhaust is real raspy when its just been started up and drove on for the first mile or so. Seems like when it warms up it goes away.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Its kind of annoying and embarrising to have a raspy exhaust on a jeep.
Thanks

Yeah, its just the first couple minutes when the rpms get worked on. Its so lame to know I spent over $350 for an exhaust, and its embarrassing when I start up and pull away in the morning. I did my research too.
Listened to a lot of exhaust videos of the afe Mach force hi tuck. And I was told by afe the Mach force and the scorpion are the same except the scorpion muffler is aluminized.
So either shame on afe for putting out a sub par exhaust. Or shame on me for thinking it would sound the same.
the scorpion exhaust was in development for a couple months when I ordered it. So it was back ordered for a while. But was told by afe that it was the same as Mach force. same tubing, same diameter, same muffler style, just aluminuzed, and that shouldn't affect the sound.
All the Mach force hi tuck videos I've seen sound good. No rasp or rattling.
So.... buyer beware!
Had a magnaflow exhaust on my '11 2dr, sound was awesome. Should've gotten that.

Every exhaust on every car sounds louder and raspier upon start up due to moisture build up and the engine running slightly richer, especially in colder areas. I wouldn't blame afe for this.
If it bothers you, go back to stock. To me, the 1-2 minutes of annoying warm up time would be outweighed by the auditory enjoyment I experience the rest of the time.

Dont get me wrong, i like the exhaust. I like the design and the exhaust note. Its just that initial start up and first few minutes of driving that im not happy with.
