    Hey Guys I recently installed a AFE Mach Force Exhaust and wanted to warn any body with a 2013 Tacoma that the hangers on the AFE Exhaust DO NOT match!!!

    It was an absolute nightmare to install because of this....I owned a 2011 Taco and I have my stock exhaust still and the hangers are completely different then my 2013. The AFE exhaust matches the 2011 in my garage. I checked my box and it said 05-13 so im guessing AFE didn't change their design for 13?

    BTW 49-46013 is the part#, ordered it from autoanything. I installed it anyways by bending the hanger on the AFE exhaust, it makes contact with my rear leaf spring bracket will that cause any issues for me?

    You might be able to take a ride out to Corona and have aFe fix that for you.

    If you want I can call my friend that runs their exhaust production and get that setup for you.

    yes, the rear leaf spring bracket has moving parts plus its not going to like the heat, your just asking for trouble. i would do your best to get is in a position where its at least not contacting the spring bracket if you have to drive it and then get on the phone with AFE to fix it.

    Id definitely be down to take a trip to Corona. I just want aFe to make it right for me. I did give them a call but didn't seem interested in helping me although I wasn't making a fuss of it.

    If you could set that up I'd be super grateful!

    Thanks

    Well I had it fixed by the Truck Shop out here in San Diego they did a great job for about the price it would have taken to drive to Corona. Called aFe never called me back.

    Thanks for your help
