Hang in there, we're 1-2 Wks from completion for design development, fitment, fabrication and install. The options will be: - 2.5 downpipes with Hi-Flow Cats - 2.5 downpipes without Cats - With o2 bungs - Ceramic coating heat management in a selection of basic colors Notes: - The pipes will come tapered to bolt up to the stock exhaust Sys. - A special order will be required to have it match up to a complete 2.5 exhaust system. In a effort to reduce fabrication lead times it would help if we could get some idea of those interested so please chime in here soon...

Updated Post with new All Season tires with only 500-750 miles of highway use.

I would call your local Ford dealer parts Dept, that's one of our most reliable parts research methods...

From my research on RockAuto and the 2016 Ford Edge Sport in general which applies to late model 2015 thru 2018 you have the 345mm rotors, I also confirmed this with RockAuto & Power Stop. Therefore you are ordering the correct kit however, you may want to give strong consideration to replacing all brakes based on age alone due to warping & rotor hot spots & micro fractures which could lead to a very ugly outcome. Being 62 and that project being like 12 projects ago there is no way for me to remember socket sizes, sorry there however if you don't have a complete compliment of tools you may want to solicit some help, especially with the overhaul parts, especially the rubber slider bushings. Your caliper pistons do not require any special treatment to retract the pistons just use the standard retracting tool. BIG NOTE: Per the factory service manual (FSM) you MUST go into the dash menu and put your brakes into the service/maintenance mode before start of work and taken out of that mode once service is complete! NEVER CUT CORNERS ON SAFETY ITEMS ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO Hi-Po APPLICATIONS!!!...

We use Vibrant Performance T-Bolt clamps for our boost tubes and their V-Band clamp Sys for exhaust Sys. Make sure you get the correct size for the job at hand. https://stores.pepboys.com. Aside from cooler intake Temps you will not see a notable performance improvement until you Tune for it..

You can always contact your local Ford parts dealer and ask them to compare the part numbers for the paddle shifters or next higher assembly the steering wheel of the 2 years and if they are the same then you're good to go...

PM me to remind me to repost that one when I get back home this Sun Eve. Apparently the transition to the new site broke all of our attached DIY Docs...boo freaking hoo...more work for us...

Nice try Nick but I think they're looking for the front one since they want to access the IC grill...;-)

Hey there bcenter91! Thnx 4 lurking us...lol If you've been following our exhaust Sys research & development section: You'll be able to stay abreast of our developments however, to give you what we have so far the following applies: Not knowing the depth of your knowledge in this area I'll make the assumption that you are just beginning therefore, you will probably get more details than needed. So going forward I wanna clarify that the down pipe is the section of exhaust pipe that comes immediately off of the Turbo and in today's technology manufactures are generally placing the catalytic converter as close to the Turbo as possible therefore, they makeup a large part of the downpipe Assy. The catalytic converter in itself creates exhaust pressure resistance which reduces the amount of free flow from the Turbo which is another horse power consumer. Generally when replacing down pipes you either have the catalytic converters removed, then you'll have to deal with your local emissions requirements, there are ways of dealing with that of which I'd be more than happy to discuss if desired, and the other option is for those who are trying to stay in compliance of local emissions requirements can go with what's called a high flow catalytic converter which reduces some of the exhaust pressure restriction. So all of this to say if you're looking to just change the exhaust signature of your engine I would not recommend changing the down pipes due to the amount of labor involved but instead change everything after the down pipes to the exhaust system that will give you the exhaust signature you desire. Note: removing the catalytic converters and going with what we call catless or straight pipes, that in itself will change the exhaust signature and will require use of various types of resonators and/or muffler Combos depending on what you're trying to achieve. I repeat...generally the down pipes are not changed out unless you're looking for maximum performance but yes it will make an awesome exhaust signature difference...

This is a topic best discussed with your Tuner of choice however, I have found that with geographical differences in temperature 170 seems to be the preference of Tuners. Note: Today's engines require achieving a specific operational temperature range in order to operate properly, too cold or too hot and you will not make maximum power or efficiency. ..

Taking the intake off isn't necessary. Just remove the throttle body then send your scope down the intake to inspect the stem side of the intake valves.

A spark plug change will not provide accurate determining Info. Most often the plugs will look fine and the intake valves will be coked beyond reason. The sure way is with a scope or pulling the intake for a up close visual...?

Hello Cree Note that everyone has an opinion and many are not based on facts i.e. the bore scope Pics in our inspection post on page 4 are in fact from our 2016 Edge Sport. We clearly state which Pics are from the Audi S4, first 2, and which are from the 2016 Edge Sport. SpecialK & I are in the development & sustainment sides of the engineering field. We pride ourselves on doing our best to present facts. Therefore we highly recommend you go through this topic thread and thoroughly read our posts, especially those on page 4, and you will be better educated to make your own decision. Unfortunately even after all the facts are presented the decision is still subjective. Note: we are maticulous perfectionists and after inspecting the intake & valves we decided it wasn't necessary.

Your probably absolutely correct! Being in the engineering field & prior service I tend to be one of those get it done guys along with impatience... Hopefully all is going well for you and the family...

You've got to be kidding!!!... There was whining & nashing of teeth from several who missed the first opportunity for this custom work and now someone is willing to take the lead and coordinate another order and not a single taker???...

Have it shipped to a friend in another state who then ships it to you...? Where there's a will, there's a way...

Both (Front & Rear) subject pipes available at significant savings ($500) for the pair... Only one OEM set available, new from Ford with inventory tags, bar codes & stickers, never attached to car. Great for stock replacement or conversion to Hi-Flow Cats or going Catless. This will allow you to retain your original pipes should you need to revert back to stock... Shipping cost is at the buyers expense & preference...
