Pulled the trigger on the exhaust system. I was able to find it on sale for $750 a lot better then the $930 I was seeing everywhere else.

As of the moment I am very satisfied with it. I was able to get it on by myself in about a hour and half while using the car's jack. The exhaust produces a deeper sound now but It's not a lot louder. I'm sure that will change after I put some hours on it. Major thing I am pleased about it is I'm hearing zero rasp or drone. :thumbsup:

Hoping to get this tips to fit in the shrouds. We will see......

No, purchased from Stage 3 Motorsports and returned. Magnaflow's website has been changed to reflect FWD only for that system and they've allegedly notified all vendors of such.

I think Stage 3 had it wrong, cause I firmly recall Magnaflow's site stating FWD only, along with every AWD owner of FEWW talking about this constantly. There is a AWD rear muffler kit by MRP or someone...

On an SUV, you would not want to delete any mufflers. The drone would be absolutely insane. The reality is when you look at the purpose of the Edge Sport and who is buying these, there is a reason why there is not much available in the way of performance parts. Exhaust systems can really suck in SUV's because of the open cargo area. Based on this low demand, anyone else out there who does offer something will have to charge extra as they will not be able to recoup their investment costs by sheer volume.

the reason, as an Edge owner of 2 different generations is pretty simple. 99% of Edge owners drive around stock and the ones that want to mod, want to pay $100. for any part instead of paying what it's worth.

It's a shame.

These days in the age of cafe, factory exhaust systems are very efficient as they want to,extract every last horsepower and fuel economy possible. Therefore you really are doing it for sound versus the 2hp you might gain at 6500+ rpms. If this was a v8 there would be more interest and thus demand as v8's are very good sounding. Most GDI and GTDI V6 setups however are not very good sounding. Im fact, the F150's with exhausts on the 2.7 do not sound very pleasant. Therefore there is no real reason to buy an exhaust. The 3.5 ecoboost is a little better sounding.
