AFe Stage 2 Hood Rubbing Issue Solved!

For those of you that have the aFe Stage 2 like I do you already know about the hood rubbing issue. In many LX's the intake tube rubs the hood where the tube curves to meet the throttle body. Good news!! aFe has redsigned the tube with a small flat spot to solve this issue. The new aFe's come with this tube and if you ask AFe nicely they may send you a replacement tube for your current afe
Here are some pics of the new tube!



And of course...BMCP carries the all powerful aFe Stage 2!

Big thanks to aFe for resolving this and taking care of their customers by supplying a new tube!!

 

That is GREAT news Kris.

Thanks for sharing...

 

Good find team!! My Afe, has that distinctive rub mark on it and it's definitely from the hood and not when I was gazing at it up close way back in May 07 lol..

 

I had an aFe Stage 2 box on my Ford Diesel.... Excellent quality and performance. :rock:

 

Who/how do we contact them about getting a new tube - if that's an option???

I sent an e-mail along with a pic of the problem. I received a response this afternoon asking for my address and contact number and that AFE will send me a replacement.

Now that's great customer service.

Way to go AFE! :thumb2:

 

Glad everyone is getting taken care of! AFE FTW!

 

I sent an email, told them where I purchased it and recieved my intake with in 4 days of giving them my address. Glad they were able to fix this issue and no questions ask warranty it. Plus the intake looks like a beast.

 

Thanks Chris. Hopefully they will continue to take care of all of ours.
