  1. There's not much for the 2.0.  There's a few drop-in filters, and that's about it.  You could do custom exhaust, but 4-bangers just do not sound great.  I once had a Magnaflow on a 2.0 Neon, and it wasn't too bad.  Check out some videos of Mavericks, Fusions, and similar vehicles with aftermarket exhausts on the 2.0 EB. 

  2. 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited.  We bought it new, and it now has 42k miles.  It's great in the snow -- especially with severe snow-rated tires.  It's a great vehicle.  The Edge rides nicer, is more quiet, and has more interior cargo and passenger space (although the Edge looks smaller).  We've had 0 issues with the Jeep.  It's highway MPGs aren't any better than my previous Hemi Ram (rwd).  The wife gets around 19 mpg mixed-city driving.

  3. I'm back with a new '21 SE AWD in Lithium Grey.  I had a '14 SEL FWD when I was previously on here.  I traded an '18 Ram 1500 for the Edge.  I really like it thus far.  I've had the 2.0 EB in an MKC and Fusion.  It pairs better with the 8-speed.  I'm amazed at all the standard features of the '21 -- especially the 12" center stack.  My '14 SEL didn't even have a back-up camera. 

     

    I've already browsed through a lot of the newer posts.  I've had my Edge 10 days, and added 20% ceramic tint and floor liners.  Today I picked up the Ford hood deflector and cargo liner with the Ford Pass points. 

     

    I've had a Maverick on order since 12/17.  It still isn't scheduled for build, so it will be months and months yet (or turn into a 2023 model).  I saw the Edge at a local dealer, and decided to go a different route.

  4. Like others have said, I would purchase the factory accessory grill inserts, and have them painted. It would last much longer than painting the chrome.

     

    Looks great MsolraC13. Do you recall how much it was to paint them? I've had 2 quotes, and they both seem pretty high. They are $235-277. That's with me walking in with the inserts, and walking out with them (installing myself).

  5. It's a 10" (ID10). I'm very pleased with the sound. It was a major pain to cut all the angles, etc. I'm still a little paranoid with attempting fiberglass. I'm not too positive on the volume. I didn't measure when it was finished. I'm guessing it's around .5-.7 cuft -- which is just right for this sub. I'm pushing it with an Arc Audio Class D (3-ch). Here's where the amp & LOC sit:

    Your box looks great.

  6. It's not easy. It was the worst ever for me. It took me about 2 hrs. About the only location to get it through, is by the OE harness -- where all the other wiring goes through. I alaways paranoid of cutting here, because I'm afraid I'll cut some OE wires. I started small, and couldn't get it through. I finally got brave, and used a larger serrated knife, and of course always have the blade facing away from all wiring. I then taped my 4ga Knu cable to a stiff hanger, and fished it through. There's not much space in the engine compartment to grab it. I thought I might have to pull the battery, but I managed. My cable was real flexible, which made it more difficult. Good luck. Someone said there's a spot on the passengers side, but I didn't want to run my cable across the engine, inside the bay.
