I was eyeing the corsa extreme and the AWE 0FG. Ended up going with the 0FG in April. I can report with some mileage on the system at this point that it is great. It’s fairly loud but with the way our trucks look, that’s how I wanted mine to sound too. The cold start is deep and GROWLY! I don’t notice much rasp and it has added a lot of pep to the truck as well. About a month later I added the pedal commander as well and my only regret is that I didn’t add the AWE and the pedal commander sooner. Great exhaust note (both idle and with the throttle down), increased performance, and the AWE exhaust tips are gorgeous. Im a novice with a wrench and found the install to be straightforward. Just take your time, position everything the way you want it and torque it down. I made a couple trips under the truck over the course of a few weeks to get everything just right.

No regrets. My wife and our two young sons even like the truck more now. Growls, Roars, Crackles, Pops, and Smiles....

Exhaust, CAIs and pedal commanders do not equate to more performance on our trucks. They simply add more noise and faster response to throttle input. If you really want to wake it up, add a tune from one of the trusted vendors and you will wonder why you waited so long to add performance.

I prefer MPT, but there are many options available.

This. I have noticed a substantial difference between Sport and Normal mode. Ford took a page out of GM’s book and dulled the throttle sensitivity for maximum fuel economy, along with programming the 10R80 to upshift ASAP. All a Pedal Commander does is increase the sensitivity of the accelerator. If you watch your Boost gauge in normal, unless you are loading the engine up or hammering down, the turbos rarely come online in any substantial amount.

TBH, I find the Raptor to be quite dull in Normal but I’ll take it for the trade off in MPG.

I put the AWE 0FG on my '19 last year. The install was fairly easy but I had access to a lift when I did it. I ended up buying my own clamps to use since I didn't want to reuse the OEM ones (except the one the connects the downpipe to the exhaust). Fitment was tricky at first with the tips, but once I got it dialed in with the help of a friend, I just torqued everything down and checked again around the 500 mile mark to reverify all the torques.
Anyways, the exhaust is a bit louder. Zero to minimal drone. It sounds better for sure, but you definitely won't be hearing a V8 if that's the grumble you're looking for. Cold starts are louder, and warm starts are mildly louder. I think for a V6, the truck should have come this way or with the Performance Exhaust from the factory. There's a good reason why they state it has to break in a bit (500 miles I think?). When I first installed it, I was super unhappy since I felt like I literally took a $75k truck and made it sound like an Altima with the mufflers and cats cut off. Anyways, as I put more miles on it, leading to the 500 mile break in, the exhaust note calmed down a lot and it began to sound great.

I went with the 0FG from AWE since I saw this video here (

) and I really disliked the stock sound. Just note that if you do go with the AWE, the break in time is going to be crucial for the exhaust as the sound will be completely different. No performance gains honestly, but sound is much better.
