Order being placed, I'm going to have a stock pile of parts to install one day.

Thanks Xtra, Do you have any pics of the exhaust installed yet? What quad tips did you use and did you have to modify the tail pipe any to install? I finally got around to installing the LMS tuner, I think exhaust will be my next step. I did a stereo upgrade and sound deading in the back which should help with any unwanted noise. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/24017-2017-ford-edge-sport-with-sony-12-speaker-sub-system-upgrade/?p=182687

1004ron, I couldn't convince myself to get the RXP and spend that kind of money for a catch can. I prefer build quality in most cases over price like getting the better IC which I can convince myself it's a better buy. I don't have a catch can system on my 03 Cobra engine yet and RXP would be more of a likely choose for that. I think here in a few months we'll have a good group with cans on and report back our findings.

Informative response, not as funny but better.

JLT for me, good enough.

Thanks For the input Mikula, Have you changed out your IC or plan to, if so which are you thinking of? Aesthetics & build quaility is major factor for me also, that's why I'm swapping out my IC grill with the CNC'd one, so I can see that nice big & beautiful IC. I just hit 6,000 miles and really don't plan much till fall, Foxbody Mustang getting all the attention right now. I also just got the LMS tuner and going to enjoy that for a minute.

Is that your design for the exhaust?

Any Updates?

GT500R You still happy with the results of your IC? Who is your contact at CXRacing?

Xtra, Keep us posted on this. just got my LMS tuner and next project will be the intercooler & piping.

LOL - you all are entertaining. Keep up the good work Special_K & Snmjim. I understand where the others are coming from on wanting facts but as adults, I think we can make educated decisions on whether it's worth it or not. Hell, most don't even go into detail / post about mod's they've done to their vehicle.

Really helpful, LOL

I'm looking to improve my 2017 Sport also but not sure how long I'll have the vehicle so I don't want to get carried away, that's what the Fox Body Mustang is for. Plus I'm seriously looking at the Nautilus when it come out. The general consensus seems to be between Livernois MyCalibrator and Unleashed HP Tuners (Pro, Standard, NGauge?). Has anyone done a Pros & Cons between them? What about the SCT X4? Thanks

On the way,

No, I wanted to try and keep it simple but this project has snowballed!! I liked the features of the iDatalink Maestro AR with the Kenwood Excelon XR600-6DSP

Snapped some pics of the sub box and measurements. This is for reference only. Measured to that raised section. Messured to the back of the box - if you removed the raised portion. Pics of the little rear pillar speakers Amps mounted - temporary, didn't like how it came out and going to make a better mounting platform.

Well, what a long weekend. Did the sound deadening, stuffed the sub box, and wired the amps. Ran out of time to get everything set up but got it close and here's my first impressions. Sound quality is better, even with the stock speakers. Need more time to tune. Issues to work out. Beep is gone on touch screen Navigation voice prompts gone? Need to figure out. **Edit 3/13/2018** All prompts must be adjusted individually. The sound/tone/prompt must be active and you adjust with the volume knob. Hopefully that makes sense. Here's a few pics, my Edge is dirty -sorry Sound deadening Ran the power cable through the fire wall - grommet located next to steering column under dash. Coat hanger will be you friend to fish the wire. To get the kick panel off, use a socket to release tabs. 0ga power wire barely fits More to come

Here's a list of the parts that I'll be installing in my 2017 Ford Edge Sport with Sony 12 Speaker / Sub system. Started off with the Sub & amp and of course not happy with the sound, just upgrading the sub & amp in the factory locations wasn't enough. I'll be upgrading the amps, wiring, and sound deadning to have control over the sound / DSP. I should start this weekend with Stage 2 and I'll take pictures detialing out as much as I can. I wanted to utilize all the fatory speaker location, I know it's over kill and not necessary but I did it anyway. Stage 1 Kicker 43CXA300.1 - Sub amp Kicker CompRT 43CWRT81 - Lazy and didn't use polyfil or sound deadner the area. Stage 2 iDatalink Maestro AR iDatalink HRN-AR-FO2 Kenwood Excelon XR600-6DSP - Main Amp Kenwood KAC-5207 - Front Center & Rear Pillar Amp, over kill I know Kicker 44KSC3504 - Front Center Speaker, other will be for sale. Stinger RKX36B Roadkill Expert Series Sound Damping Material Bulk Pack T-Spec V12 0ga install kit & Misc items - Future proof Polyfil Sub Box Stage 3 Rainbow CS 265 Profi Kick - Front Door Here are some links and stuff from the research I did.

Maybe this will work

Thanks for the info, I'm going with the Kenwood DSP amp, upgrading front speakers / center / sub & sub amp / rear pillar amp. I've done a good bit of research and I think I found how you adjust the chime. Page 3 of the Maestro instruction and it explains it. http://maestro.idatalink.com/search/search?project=ar&vehicle_make_id=12&vehicle_year_id=2017&vehicle_model_id=609&vehicle_audio_id=12796 One other question. Did you radio retain the "Confirmation Beep" when you make a button selection on the screen?

I thinking about doing the Kenwood / Maestro upgrade to my 17' Sport, Did you notice a difference and how do you like it? Thanks, John

How do you like these lug nuts?

How did those wheel lugs work out? I'm looking at these for my Sport. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N4VSVYG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 Thanks,

I'm here!! 2017 Ford Edge Sport Platinum White Need to get me those 21's, my came with 20's
