Mikula,
I wrote a PM to you but didn't finish. I have access to 4 3D print firms, CNC shops and conventional machine shops. I'm an engineer and my other car is a very extensively modified 1991 Audi Coupe Quattro, 460HP (turbocharged) track car. I've done much of the suspension and power modifications.
I've only had my 2014 Edge EcoBoost for 3 days so I haven't seen the warm air intake you are critical of.
A companion mod would be to replace the restrictive exhaust pipe (~2" dia) from the exhaust manifold, restrictive cat converter, and all the 2" dia piping to the "Y" split for the dual outlets.
Will the 4 cyl turbo Mustang cat converter work/fit?
