Don't be sad, if I had made any money at all, I would have been taxed at a 25% rate. Ouch. So it is good that I lost some. I never expected to make money at this anyway. I just want to make CAI for you guys and keep busy so the rocking chair does not get me. I went to a car show near me this last weekend it is called Super Car Sunday they have a web Site if you want to check it out, they have a little of everything there. I had the hood up on my car and people were checking it out. They were liking the V2 / V3 combo and talking about it as I watched in amazement at their positive reactions. I might even go again next week. Here are a couple of cars that were there. The car that Mr. Ford made that changed the world. This is what hot rodders do to old Fords Go big or go home I like this. The way to make a old 240Z fast and fun. A super clean install on the 240Z There was a bunch of high dollar super cars as well. With so many amazing cars being there is why I was so pleased that people actually took time to check out my Edge Sport and the V3.

I was having the same problem with the battery in my 2016 Sport an H6 size. I guess that Ford put a small battery in the Sport and the ST to save weight and improve the handling. I got tired new batteries ever year or two and upgraded to an H7 size. It is the next step up in battery size for out cars. One I put in a H7 size sealed Gel Battery I have had no problems. I understand that the luxury versions have an even bigger H8, but that is overkill for for the Sport and ST as it adds unnecessary weight up high that can effect the handling to a degree. The H6-7and 8 all fit in the battery tray. I would suggest moving up to the H7 battery and that should fix your problem with short life batteries.

They work but nothing like a dual clutch transmission does. The Sport and ST transmissions can be programmed to give different shift feel from hard to butter smooth. I use mine on occasion to short shift on the street to keep out of high RPM when doing a jack rabbit start to 50mph or so. I try to shift at peak torque not peak HP sometimes.

The 2016 to 2018 Sport and I think even the 2015 Sport as well all have 6 speed trans with paddle shifters. The 2019 to 2022 ST all have paddle shifters and I think 8 speed transmissions. I would double check before buying to confirm.

After selling the last V3 and freaking out about the tax man, I decided to count all my receipts and do some book keeping. It turns out that I am a horrible business man, and it is as I said, this is a hobby and not for profit. Turns out I have lost way over $1000 so far on the V3 project in 2022. Never thought that I would be happy that it cost me as I do want to break even, but now I know I won't have to pay a boat load of tax and have a large unexpected expense. And what that means is that I can keep making V3s until the end of the year and possibly into 2023 !!! The order lines are now open again and another batch of V3 CAI are in the works. PM me for price and availability. Protect my a** BS now that the feds are all up in my S**t THE V3 IS FOR OFF ROAD USE ONLY. KNOW YOUR LOCAL LAWS BEFORE INSTALLING.

Bump

Go ahead and put on the turbos. Part of hot rodding is finding the weak link. No need to pay to fix a trans that is not broken. Run the heck out of it, get your moneys worth, and then or if it brakes at that point you will know what part of the trans needs to be beefed up. Another old hot rodding tip don't over do your daily driver, keep it safe and reliable. Save the all out effort for the weekend warrior. If you are on a budget and who is not these days you might find the performance you desire by selling the 2010 and up grading to a used Sport or ST. The cost of new turbos on a non turbo car and a new trans might cost as much as a new ride. Something to think about.

Just a reminder that there are still a few V2 remaining, both the ABS and CF versions are available at this time.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian friends.

Reduced only $485 for this like new FMIC . Fully factory upgraded and ready to install. Over a $440 savings. SOLD !

Thank you Lakeside, I am pleased you like your V3 and had no problems installing it. You have no idea how much joy your reply makes me feel. This truly is a labor of love for me and responses like this make all the work worthwhile. You will find that your turbos spool up faster as the turbos don't have to work as hard to suck in air. As MB022803 said with the V3, it is like going from a thin soda straw to a large milkshake straw.

Thank you I appreciate the props. This new tax law is going to do major damage to Nano size microscopic operations like I have. It does not make money as it is a hobby, but will be treated like a business by the IRS. it makes me sad. $600 limit a year is only a buck sixty five a day!! You can't even get a coffee and a donut for $1.65 I have only one V3 remaining and right now it is looking like it will be the last for this year. That is unless four of you step up and place orders soon, only then will I do another run before the end of 2022. If I don't get all 4 I will give refunds. If I can survive then I might start up again, but that would be sometime around May or June 2023 after all taxes are paid and I understand just how much these new laws effect me. ... So with that said, who among you will step up and get what possibly could be the last V3. I will fight to keep making them , but no promises. I also have a few remaining V2 still available and the same goes for them as well. This is real and I hate sounding like a salesman, but members need to understand my position and what is at stake.

How about the updated V3 CAI it fits the ST like a glove. It now uses an adapter. The adapter snaps onto the bottom half of the factory air box and uses the factory clips. The V3 lid then snaps onto the adapter replacing the factory lid and air filter. Polished aluminum elbows attach the filter to the cars accordion hose The installed V3 CAI This.V3 has the optional auxiliary air intake that removes any restrictions of the snorkel. All reviews so far have been positive with reported increases in MPG and performance.?

An amazing difference in strength and quality just demonstrated. Glad you and your Edge are safe . Thanks for sharing ?

These are the 3 inch dual tips as installed on a 2016 Edge Sport. This gives an idea of how much room there is and how the 3.5 inch would fit. A small correction it is the inside tip that is is longer.

You can get clamp on tips and that’s all you need. You will have to permanently remove the chrome exhaust bezels and the tabs that the bezel screws to for the tips to fit. Once the tabs are removed the bezels cannot ever be put back on. So be sure about if you want dual tips for there’s no going back. If somehow you can get the tips on without removing the tabs then you will be able to see them and they look (imo) funky. I suggest for you to go with clamp on Y tips With 2 1/2 inch in and three or 3 1/2 inch out . You can unscrew and takeoff the bezel and then take a look see . Test fit the tips before cutting off the tabs.

When running dual exhaust tips using a Y pipe the exhaust bezels must be removed to make room for the tips . I am running 2 1/2 inch in and dual 3 inch out tips on my 2016 Sport. Unfortunately you must also remove the tabs that the bezels attach to for the dual tips to fit . This is a permanent mod and once the tabs are removed they are gone forever and the bezel cannot be reattached. My tips are staggered with the inside tip shorter and they are also cut at an angle . . The 2.5 inch in and dual 3.5 inch tips out you are looking at will work great, 3.5 is the max size (imo) and will look and sound awesome ?. Theses are dual 2.5 inch tips I later swapped them out for dual 3 inch. Staggered, double wall, cut at an angle. Here you can see how the bezel is gone for the tips to fit. 2.5 inch tips. These are the 2.5 inch in and 3 inch out tips that I ended up with hooked up to my MRT Axle Back Exhaust system.

At this point it will not matter as they already know what's up. I just received a notice from the tax guys.

Welcome aboard

Just lowered the price on this like new factory upgraded Ultimate Performance FMIC $575 + shipping.

I just finished a complete V3 today without the Aux Air .( It can still be added .) This is the first time I have ever had one finished and ready to ship without a request for it. All that is needed is the filter to be ordered to spec. Oiled or Dry. This is the last one of this batch. The next batch, perhaps the last batch ever, won’t be started until this one finds a home So someone needs to adopt this puppy soon so I can get started on the next set of 4 before time runs out. Also the FMIC is still available and I just lowered the price.

Handfiler it is good you don't live in the USA as this does not effect you. It is not just PayPal, all banking must report ***these types of transactions to the IRS if they add up to $600 or more in a year. ZEL , EMT , PayPal , your checking account, no diff. Only cash is safe and even that has to be kept out of the banking system or they may ask where did you get that? They are after the smallest amount now and anyone with a side hustle. If you make a buck sixty five every day for a year then you are a target and will be taxed on it as income. Thats why even paper boys and even lemonade stands are at risk. I have been keeping good solid books just in case and now I am glad I did. I will need to get through this and see what happens when taxes are due and paid. At that time I will know if I can start up production again or not. So friends, get one the ball and order now for the clock is ticking. ***gifted money and selling your old things do not count.

It is with a heavy heart that I share this I have just been notified by PayPal that they are going to report me because I have had more than $600 move through my account. The limit was 20K last year and that allowed many people like me to be creative. People that made seasonal items and crafts. Teachers that earned some extra income during summer vacation by tutelage. Even kids that have summer jobs mowing lawns or delivering newspapers. Now the limit is only $600 per year. Have $600 in a year pass through your PayPal account earning or selling stuff and it is considered taxable income, and those 81,000 new heavily armed agents will need something to do. The V2 and V3 are sold with a very small markup, just enough to keep making them and pay for expenses no more than that. This is a hobby and labor of love, not a business . If it was a business, it would be the worst ever as I don’t charge a penny for labor. To give an example, I just spent a couple hours today making the two small aluminum hinges and polishing them for the V3 Adaptor. I enjoy doing this and it keeps me going in my retirement. Sitting in a rocking chair wasting time is not my thing. And making these custom high performance Cold Air Intakes for my fellow Edge enthusiasts brings me great satisfaction . I am telling you all this because this may be the last year I will be able to offer the V2 Ram Air and V3 CAI systems . If the tax burden is to great then I will be forced out. It saddens me to think about that. because these projects do give me so much happiness and purpose. With that being said if you are considering a V2 Ram Air or V3 CAI now is the time to get one as there are only 3 months remaining in the year and the last ones must ship by December 31, I will stop taking orders sometime in mid December 2022. My hands are tied I hate this #*%!!! new tax law. “No one earning under $400,000 a year will be taxed a penny more” ….my ass

First, welcome to the forum CornfedST it sounds like you have a very nice fast ride. I do like the ST, Ford fixed some of the Sports weaknesses. Because you asked, I have a 2016 Sport running custom hybrid turbos with a 11 blade 44/57mm inducer compressor wheel. Keeping it safe as a every day driver and dyno at 350 awhp & 450 awtq on a 91 tune. Can’t get the good stuff 93 or e85 around here anyway. I do have a 93 tune that I occasionally use with octane booster. Welcome aboard
