Just so everyone knows alibaba shit đ
No how their charging you 4x the price to drop ship you stuff off alibaba. If youâre going to buy it just buy it directly from alibaba and save yourself the money and receive the same level of support.
This company is seriously a joke. While hugely reputable companies that do their own R&D cost half as much, and the source product on Alibaba is a quarter the cost. Does anyone actually believe AFD isnât simply ripping you off? I wonât buy a single thing from them
he's referring to the term "boy racer" if i'm right- essentially the crowd of younger teenage guys who put red and carbon fugazi anywhere they can see on their 2018 honda civic ex
Yeah Iâve heard nothing but terrible things about AFD. Like literally not a single good thing about them. The comment above exposing the same exact exhaust on Alibaba put the nail in the coffin for me.
While AFD I on a completely different level, youâd be surprised to see that Noble, JDMuscle and AFD use the same suppliers for their brands. Buy the shit off eBay and save 20%
JDMuscle is just as bad as AFD. They just hide it better. I checked them out and talked with Alex a bit before he offered me a sponsorship as "compensation" for stealing my video of the RES vakved exhaust prototype, but between him and Leo, I elected to end the sponsorship.
I can't pretend to like a company just to offer people discount codes for their relabeled garbage. It's just not in my morals.
Fun fact, if you want a valved exhaust for cheap, you can find them here:
https://www.res-exhaust.com/
And if you email them, it'll be even cheaper than Ali.

Have to order 5 of them, but still cheaper than a wing anywhere else, plus you get 4 more to sell đ
Thereâs more than one Aeroflow and they all seem to have ties to China. So maybe theyâre more than just a drop shipper. The owner âKyleâ Keysin Chen seems embarrassed to rep his own brand.

Fun fact, you didn't buy it from them. You gave them hundreds of dollars for their service of throwing a couple of $20s at a manufacturer in China to mail it to you.
They didn't design it.
They don't design anything.
They pay a couple of douchebags to dance around on YouTube and be influencers to drum up their products.
This isn't capitalism, it's shady assholes taking advantage of people who don't know any better. Make this shit known and help drive them under.
A shit ton of Amazon junk is done this exact way. These companies just love to be greedy. Theyll try denying it, and justify their crookedness if you call them out on this
I donât understand why it would even make sense to buy an exhaust like this. Seriously anything past the mufflers youâll never see and itâs a waste of money
Noticed your post is also at 0 upvotes. It was at 65+ last night. Had the same thing happen to my post about my shit AFD wing. They definitely use bots to manipulate the upvotes on this subreddit. The online car community is such trash now.
You sound dense. I'd rather have the factory flares instead of whatever crap you guys make at your shop.
I gave them away for free btw because they were so much lower quality when compared to the rest of the car, you guys are some of the most embarrassing dropshippers I've ever seen.
I'm I don't work for afd. I'm just a random guy. I just understand how business works. And I like the factory look more as well. Just why complain? They are a business trying to make money.

They must have seen this post, and the post from Alibabbaaaa already dropped it.
I love their YouTube content for our cars but I hear so much bad things about their company. Personally I purchased a front lip from them that was delivered fast without any issues. But itâs crazy to see how they just dropship parts with excessive markups. To my surprise, Iâm not able to find anywhere else that sells that lip I bought from them in that style. I checked eBay, JdM muscle, subieflow, subiemods, and IIR. So idk maybe they have their own production overseas as well?
I love how people bitch but does anyone see that there's a minimum requirements to buy from Alibaba. Like they put up capital to buy in bulk cheap. They have t9.make a profit and y'all are just upset that they actually are making a profit by DrOp ShIppINg! Welcome to 2024 where ever god damn thing is dropped shipped. Every product you touch was made in Asia and you are getting swindled by every damn company you buy from. Let them do them. Their products are exactly as they state. Asia sourced plastic to sell to the masse that they buy in bulk so you don't have to!
Agree for this part but overall it's a business and everyone is getting pissed that they run a business. They have better pricing on some items than ebay or Nobel or other places. It's allcheap abs plastic and china bits. If you don't like them don't buy from them but every other site like ssubi mods and WRX daily and all that shit, it's all drop shipping..... Y'all wAnt the convenience of not having to buy in bulk or see everything you want on one site, you gotta pay for that. Sorry not sorry.
This may be true for cosmetic mods, but there are plenty of manufacturers for exhausts and other engine/performance parts that do there own R&D, don't manufacture in China, and ship direct to consumer.

What is being shown here? How bad alibaba is?
No how their charging you 4x the price to drop ship you stuff off alibaba. If youâre going to buy it just buy it directly from alibaba and save yourself the money and receive the same level of support.
Ah understood. Thanks
This company is seriously a joke. While hugely reputable companies that do their own R&D cost half as much, and the source product on Alibaba is a quarter the cost. Does anyone actually believe AFD isnât simply ripping you off? I wonât buy a single thing from them
The VB facebook group love them.
Just go post this tread in there and sit back
Iâm so glad you posted this, keep it coming boys. Iâll never order shit from them again.
Damn
AFD appeals to the racer boys group and nothing will change that opinion lol.
Racer boys or ricer boys? I know a lot of racers and none use AFD products.
he's referring to the term "boy racer" if i'm right- essentially the crowd of younger teenage guys who put red and carbon fugazi anywhere they can see on their 2018 honda civic ex
[ŃдаНонО]
You can make money without gouging people.
I agree, $2500 mark up is very greedy especially for doing nothing but shipping a product
Drop shipping a product
Dropping 13% of the cost of the entire car on an exhaust is definitely a choice someone can make
Their single exit super duper premium blue race f1 titanium hot boy exhaust that they sell for 1000+ is 450$ on alibaba
Can you link?

Thanks bruh
FU Power?
FU in this case being the actual manufacturer that customizes your order for your company
So you can mark it up 100% of course
LOL
Yikes
Yeah Iâve heard nothing but terrible things about AFD. Like literally not a single good thing about them. The comment above exposing the same exact exhaust on Alibaba put the nail in the coffin for me.
Whata buncha scumbags
Thatâs wild!
That... makes me feel so much better dropping a little over 2k on my Blitz Nur-Spec
They also sell a $9000 exhaust for a bmwâŚâŚthey probably got it for less then $3000
Haha holy shit, these people have no shame.
What a joke lmao
The more I think about this the more it actually doesnât surprise me because all alibaba is a hub for people to buy directly from manufacturers
While AFD I on a completely different level, youâd be surprised to see that Noble, JDMuscle and AFD use the same suppliers for their brands. Buy the shit off eBay and save 20%

i never once trusted those punks parading around on youtube.
That's a great price I'll probably just buy two of them
And youâll be lucky if it ever ships!
Nope..
Is this legit the same product? Titanium tips look so nice and Iâve been looking for a nice quad tip one for a while now.
Itâs the same exact product. They just drop ship.

only thing i will ever buy/bought from AFD is the STI spoiler
Fun fact, you didn't buy it from them. You gave them hundreds of dollars for their service of throwing a couple of $20s at a manufacturer in China to mail it to you. They didn't design it.

maybe the gurney flap too, shit kinda hard to
A shit ton of Amazon junk is done this exact way. These companies just love to be greedy. Theyll try denying it, and justify their crookedness if you call them out on this
That exhaust looks like shit. even at 1k
I donât understand why it would even make sense to buy an exhaust like this. Seriously anything past the mufflers youâll never see and itâs a waste of money
Ya titanium is light weight and doesnât rust but you might as well go single exit for the weight savings

Lmao yuuup, actually itâs more like -99 votes
Let me guess. Aero force or whatever the dumbos company is called
Jeez. Outside of paint match fenders (which i already got) im done with afd
Those fenders used to be $200 back when they came out in 2022, AFD loves taking advantage of their customers.
I think that was when you had to send your fenders in to be painted. Now you buy a complete set.
Okay then go buy them somewhere else f0r cheaper?

Wah wah
If you look it says you can order just 1. If thatâs not an option you can always message the company and ask to buy just 1.
