Has anyone bought this from Ford Accessories? I can get it for 30% off installed at my local Ford dealership.

It is a Magnaflow system with a Ford Logo on the tip. I don't mean to offend or scare you away, but there have been a number of reports about the drone associated with Magnaflow's products.

There are several other options with very favorable reports on this forum. Of course, 30% off is rather enticing, so there is that. Systems that I see favorable discussion on our forum are Thermal, Corsa, and AWE.

It’s actually a Borla system with a Ford logo, it’s an okay sounding system as long as you don’t put downpipes on it.

It’s just an overpriced Borla system. I don’t like it because it doesn’t replace the crappy OE flex pipes. 30% off is enticing but all in all not worth it.

Not sure why I typed that I was thinking, Street or ATAK when I was thinking about it.

Has anyone had issues with the revised OE midpipes (flex sections)? I haven't read any reports of rattling or premature failure after they moved the flex sections more forward on the pipes.

You know what, now that I think of it I haven’t seen many go out as much as the original flex pipes, I’ve still seen a couple problems but not any many. To me though, if you’re doing a full exhaust, replace the flex pipes.

Ive got this system on my 2024 ST.
I like it. It does drone at 45-50 MPH there is a
drone, otherwise its good. I've noticed that when I shift out of sport mode
when its droning, it goes away. I dont mind them on mine.
Ive got a little over 5000 miles on them with no problems.
I still have knocking- sputtering on a cold start. But that
was there before I had this system installed.
I dont know if any one else has the knocking/sputtering almost like miss firing
at a cold start up?
But its not from this system as the stock system had the same issue.
No codes have been found for this and I was told its normal for these ST's.
Dealer found and did nothing.. about the knocking etc. I run 93 octane in it.
All in all I like this exhaust on mine.

I get that every once in a while. Maybe could be bad spark plugs if that happens to you commonly.
