Air Force One Pics w/Video!

After the AF1 and Magnaflow SIDO, I'm running about an 8 second 0-60. I don't feel much of a difference after either, sadly and I don't know my stock 0-60. The sound is worth it I guess, and I can admit a bad investment, but the video does not do it justice. Installation was a breeze, and I am no mechanic. The directions could have been improved with diagrams instead of pictures, and I have no rattle like some others have experienced with the AF1. The fit and finish is great. Enough with the smalltalk, onto the videos. Note: Sorry about the poor audio, it's hard to hear the Air Force One intake sound, it's really quite performance-like. Very smooth low-medium pitch whine. I do have a CEL after many WOT pulls, and I continue to do WOT pulls, I just can't keep my foot out of it, it sounds too good.

If you enjoyed this sorry review, look at my other reviews, they're more thorough and there will be more to come. I'll post a new video like always in the morning, with the sunlight on the intake, and better audio. Enjoy!

Burnout with exhaust only. Video. Not great, but it'll have to hold you off till later. From a standstill, I can hardly spin them, if it's raining, I can spin them through top of second gear The video is mostly powerbraking until I whipped it. The reason for only slight spin off the line is because it doesn't have much power at low speeds in first gear but it's very powerful after the bottom of first.

You really can't hear it in that video, but while in the truck looking at the speedo, you can definitely hear the sound, all you can hear is the sound of the AF1 in fact. Thats what it sounds like, so listen up on that video.

That doesn't look like the same truck in your sig, are they different? Either way, it is tearing up some rubber....

8 sec 0 to 60? You do realize these trucks are 12+ stock o to 60. I have a hard time believing that a SIDO maggie and AF1 knocked off 4+ seconds. How did you time yourself?

Not sure where you get that they run 0-60 in 12+...Click on this link to Motor Trend where they tested the 04 Supercrew FX4 5.4 and they claim 0-60 is 8.9.....Therefore Josiah's time are probally pretty accurate.

Two huge thumbs up there Josiah. Very nice review.

Having a very similar set up that you used in your review, I have to agree 100% that it's VERY nice.

Looks good, little buddy. I've had my AF1 awhile now. Just got the Magnaflow installed this weekend. They sound a lot alike.
Keep up the work.

I just installed the efans today, a LOT of work for me, I can't believe the difference after the e-fans, it is now my favorite mod. I'll make a similar review in a day when it's fully installed, right now it's constantly on so I have to unplug the battery when I leave the truck. It took me a little while to feel the difference but the e-fans are definitely a huge improvement. My truck just feels overall QUICK in every gear except for the lower speeds in first, that feels pretty much the same.

My friend just got his 4th speeding ticket, so it's hard to find time to race him, but I tried several times today. I'll let you know the REAL improvements when I race him. I'll go time my 0-60 tonight, but until then here is a video in the daylight from this morning with stock fan.

@F150duke, I timed it by looking at the timer on the video when I started to accelerate and looking at it when I got to 60, and subtracted the seconds...blah blah blah. You should be able to understand now.

Gobra, the sig is a chopped image of a truck identical to mine, in supercab form. I decided to add on details I thought I'd like on my "future" (no longer the future ) truck, like the pinstripes, rollbar, rollcall, etc.

Thanks RP

And Brew, I think you were the only one who heard her
