Passing on a lesson learned

[EDGEONU]

Just because a company says it will fit or it's for your edge double and even triple check! My intake? No good! My exhaust? No good! Engine lights on,blinking etc... Had to remove everything and go back to stock. It appears the company's I've delt with just assumed that a 2010 is the same as a 2011 and I can tell you for a fact through trial and error there not.

 

Piping is different size the a 2010 for just about everything. That's all,I've learned my lesson and will be waiting for some mods to come out that have been tested on a 2011 before going through this again.

What was wrong with the Exhaust?

 

At least you'll be the first with slotted rotors... *crosses fingers*

Have you talked to a GOOD custom exhaust shop?

 

We have one in N TX. I’ve used a couple of times, not on the MKX.

 

Here’s one in NY.

I googled

"mandrel bent New York”

"mandrel bent exhaust New York”

 

Might be worth a call?

Thanks for the links,I will look into them. The exhaust... Well one part,the rear pipe was about 5inches from the ground! No good.

Oh... forgot you have the rear differential to deal with. But a good shop should be able to replace to stock piping and use the same routing with just larger pipe.

 

At least there's places in your neck of the woods that actually have mandrel benders. Trying to find one around in So Cal is not easy.
