vmaxbaby Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) So I have contacted Borla, Gibson, Magna Flow, and Flow Master and Ford Racing, about a cat back system for the edge sports and specificity the Edge ST. After all this vehicle is a " Ford Performance Vehicle" however the exhaust note sounds the same as a Focus SE exhaust outside of the car. (Then there is that awful pumped in sound in the cabin...that is another story) They are know about the Ford Edge and the ST but what they all said was they need to see an interest in aftermarket exhaust before they put in the time and research to make something and than have only a few people buy it. Unlike the Mustang, ST Focus, RS, Trucks, they know there is allot of sales for those vehicles and most like a different sound than stock. What the guy told me at Borla (who also makes ford racing exhaust I have been told) is when people call in to ask about a specific application that make a note of it and it they get allot of requests than that is when they decide if it makes sense to do the work to design one. That all makes sense as a business decision so I understand. So with that said he suggest that if people are interested to call them and ask if they are going to make an exhaust and if they get enough calls it makes them realize there is a demand for it. Not sure who all is buying the ST but I figure most of the guys on here wouldn't be Mad if their exhaust was a little more sporty. I myself am buying an ST as my daily driver because I need something bigger than my Escape (which I did put a magnaflow exhaust on) but I still would like a few mods for it and exhaust is top of the list. I don't want it to sound like a honda civic with one of those coffee can exhausts on it but just something a little deeper. I have a GT500 with American Racing Long Tubes, No Cats, and 3 inch all the way back to the mufflers so I have something else in the garage that wakes up the neighbors..LOL but for the ST I would just like a nice exhaust sound. So if you all feel the same way I suggest give them a call and express you would be interested in a aftermarket exhaust system.

Xtra Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) I have the MRT Axle Back system and it could fit the ST. Check with MRT to see if it will fit before buying it. Click on the link below for more info. Quad tips are also an option. Edited November 15, 2018 by Xtra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmaxbaby Posted December 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 I called Gibson exhaust today just to check in to see if they have plans for an exhaust..He said am the 10 person that has called about it. His answer is they don't know yet they are waiting to see how many people would be interested. I am a big fan of Borla as well so I called them and got the same response which is the more people ask about something the more they would consider building a Cat back. His logic and really all of the companies are this: They don't want to spend allot of time and effort to R&D on a product and than sell 4 systems. So if your not happy with the sound of the ST exhaust start to knock on the doors of the companies above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanGlenn Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Looks like Magnaflow might have a catback kit for the Sport? I'm guessing it would fit the ST or at least be pretty darn close for a lot less R&D to make it fit on the ST. https://www.morepowertuning.com/mf-19048 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dehcure82 Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) RyanGlenn, I believe it’s for fwd only, I bought one for my edge and had to have a shop modify it to fit.

vmaxbaby Posted December 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 So I just called MF and the tech said that part # is for a edge but his tech sheet said it would not work for a 17-18-19 Edge Sport/ST he didn't know it won't work but he said it wasn't made for that year edge. I ask him if they were going to make one and he said yes but it would be a year away since they are working on other vehicles. I am guessing since they don't have one for a sport 17-18 that it will be longer than a year. Sadly no shop around here does stainless or mandrel bent exhaust and from what I am getting from calling all these exhaust shops is the ST edge is not a big enough seller for anyone to care about it. Reason why their isn't any CAI for the car. Tell them you have a ST focus or Fiesta and everyone comes out of the wood work with an exhaust. Even the Explorer Sport they made an exhaust but the Edge shares space with the misfit toys that are on their own island I guess. I hate having a car I can't buy parts for and I have changed about everything I can on my mustang :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dehcure82 Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 I’m pretty sure the exhaust on the 15-18 edge sport is the same so there’s no reason it should fit the 15/16 and not the 17/18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Halstead Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Magnaflow Sport Exhaust is for 2015 FWD only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmaxbaby Posted December 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 The sales person at MF said with a minor modification it could work but they can't say for sure unless they got one in their shop to test. He also said anyone that is close to them could sign up to have their vehicle used for measurements and fit and than if the exhaust is made that person would get it at a reduced price. This is the same for just about any company out there. JLT makes intakes and have seen them asking before for certain vehicles, I was a tester for HURST shifters years ago for a vehicle I had, they made me sign a legal doc that I would not post up results, pictures, etc...I had to fill out a form weekly with updates on what I liked didn't like, issues, etc and when they finally released the product I got one for free which was cool. But back to the exhaust thing if any of you out there have the ST and are near one of the major exhaust companies and would like an aftermarket exhaust call them and ask if you could bring your car in for a fitting? I live in VA so sadly won't be able to help and won't have a ST until after winter is done here. ( my OCD won't let me buy a new car in the winter, can't keep it clean enough) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Halstead Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) Anything can made to fit anything with the right amount of money. Intake...meh. Nobody is going to pay the $5-800 That a proper intake will cost. Its pretty evident too cause this motor has been out since 2015 and now sits in two vehicles and STILL no proper intake. Plus if power is what your after, intake should be last on list. Edited December 13, 2018 by Nick Halstead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmaxbaby Posted December 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I understand... my 3 goto is intake-exhaust-tune. Put an Intake on my 2014 escape that is 2 liter turbo and magnaflow cat back at the same time and not sure which of the two did it but it picked up low end torque, enough that on cool days when I stand on it she will spin while it is shifting to 2nd. (FWD Escape) it is surprising how good it runs with just those two mods.. and I put a pedal commander on it as well but that was later on.
