I ordered this exhaust “AFE Power Mach Force-XP Axle Back 2.0L” from @Northridge4x4 and it’s arriving tomorrow. Can’t wait to install it this weekend.
From the videos and instructions I’ve seen it looks fairly simple but some videos show removing the entire hanger brackets and some have some sort of removal tool that appears to deal with the rubber post without having to remove all the bolts. I don’t have the special removal tool but if there is a way to work around having to remove the brackets and bolts it would be nice.
This is what I ordered:

I’ll take some before and after videos that will hopefully help others in the future.
Update:
Finally uploaded videos. These are on Vimeo. Hopefully they embed okay here.
I uninstalled and went back to stock this morning. Just wasn’t for me. There was a noticeable improvement, however, when I removed the tip. I’ll have it for sale in the classifieds area if anyone is interested in trying it.
Stock exhaust with a few engine revs.
AFE with the end tip on. This is a cold start which takes about 90 seconds to settle down into normal idle.
AFE without the tip. I found this to be quieter and less droney.
This is some low speed normal stop and go driving around town with the phone pointed toward the speedo.
This is some faster driving with a few punches to get into some higher revs. The video is done with the phone pointed toward the ceiling, so nothing to see.
