Hey folks! I know this topic has been raised now and then, here & there. I hope to consolidate the interest in one place, in this thread. I am working through people on another site to help make this happen, and will need volunteers/guinea pigs for test & fitment. Please add a post with a list of aftermarket mods you would like to see available for your Edge/MKX, along with the type of vehicle you have. Additional options for the Ecoboost crowd. I will get this started: 2007 Edge SEL - 3.5L AWD Downpipes with high flow cats (and without for no-testing states) Coilovers Tuner Catback Exhaust System Cold Air Intake Kit Stabilizer Bar for front/rear (tuned to the vehicle)

Just had the Borla cat back installed on my 2022 Ford Edge ST, sounds absolutely awesome. But it looks to me like the 2 rear mufflers hang too low, Borla says it looks normal. I think it looks a little ugly to be honest. Any recommendations on what can be done to raise them? Pictures attached

I'm wondering what all of your general opinions are on this tiny mod--reverting to the round exhaust tips over the odd vertical-trapezoid stock tips on the 2019 Edge ST? This is a "round peg in a trapezoid hole" scenario, but I think it works--I had a very odd and strong aversion to the shape of those stock tips. These replacements are stainless, were 9" length with 2.5" in and 4" out, about $40 for the pair. I believe the actual size of the muffler exit pipes are 2.25, but it appears Ford punched an oval flare die into the exit pipe (not sure why--it's hidden). So to get these to slip on without sawing off the flare, I got the 2.5 size inlet for the new tips, used large channel locks to de-oval the exit pipe flare, and to make the clamp work on the smaller pipe after I'd cleared the flare, I had wrapped several layers of aluminum heat tape around the pipe, and the 2.5 clamp worked perfectly. There are 3 stainless 8mm bolts that hold the stock tips to the bumper (they are not connected to the muffler exit pipes). Two bolts on either side--very easy--but one bolt is on top and very hard to see or reach. I used a flex-extension on a 1/4 drive ratchet and blindly found the hex head and got it out. There is also a plastic sort of mounting bracket, which I thought was a fairly elaborate piece of molded plastic for just holding the stock tips. Anyway, I left that in--some of the torx screws were behind the tow-bar cross-frame, so that ended any thought of removing those. But you can't see them unless you get down real close and look. Plus they're black, and I put tiny strips of black gorilla tape over the now-empty bolt holes and tab-slots, so it doesn't have that "something's missing" look.

So I have the 2019 Edge ST, and the rear molding below the bumper has those odd vertical/trapezoidal exhaust exits. I'd greatly prefer the round tips of the Titanium model. Does anyone know if that molding piece and the chrome tips from the Titanium are a direct fit with the rest of the bumper on the ST so that it's a simple remove/replace? Thanks, --Jim

SSM 47339 – 2017-2018 Edge/MKX – 3.5L/3.7L – Illuminated Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) -Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P013C Some 2017-2018 Edge vehicles with 3.5L engines and MKX vehicles with 3.7L engines may exhibit an illuminated MIL with DTC P013C in the powertrain control module (PCM). This may be due to an exhaust system leak. Exhaust leak inspection should be conducted before performing Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnostics PC/ED Manual diagnostic routines. Inspect for carbon soot/moisture witness marks at all exhaust connections and catalyst monitor sensor (CMS) threads. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-14C. Inspect CMS crush washer to confirm sensor is fully seated in the exhaust pipe. Apply soapy water to exhaust connections including CMS threads, while exhaust flow is restricted at the tailpipe and exhaust system is pressurized at 5 PSI (do not exceed 5 PSI), will increase ability to identify and confirm leaks.

Remover 205D070 Service Procedure 1. Check the vehicle build date. Was the vehicle built on 1-Apr-2016 and through 1-Jan-2017? (1). Yes – proceed to Step 2. (2). No – this article does not apply. Refer to the Powertrain Controls/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual for normal diagnostics. 2. Connect the Ford Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) or Ford J2534 Diagnostic Software (FJDS) to the data link connector (DLC) and check for DTCs. Are DTCs P0524 and/or P06DD stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) memory? (1). Yes – continue to Step 3. (2). No – replace the cylinder heads. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-01. The repair is complete. 3. Check the engine oil level on the engine oil level indicator. Refer to WSM, Section 303-01. Is the oil level within the minimum and maximum marks on the indicator? (1). Yes – proceed to Step 4. (2). No – add engine oil as needed to achieve the correct oil level on the indicator. Proceed to Step 4. 4. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature. Using IDS or FJDS monitor the engine oil pressure. Refer to WSM, Section 303-01. Is the oil pressure within specification? (1). Yes – replace the cylinder heads. Refer to WSM, Section 303-01. (2). No – replace the long block engine assembly. Refer to WSM, Section 303-01. Prior approval and cost cap must be completed as required; however, follow the diagnostics repair procedure in this article to determine correct repair.

Hello, I ended up driving through a flooded viaduct and after coming out on the other side, I heard what sounded like a hole in the muffler. Next day, I took it to a muffler shop and they told me/showed me that the flex pipe needed to be replaced and I approved. After getting the car back, I ran an errand and throttled up to 45-50 mph when the Check Engine link began to flash/blink. I put it in neutral and pulled off the road to check. Engine sounded fine. Oil was full. No abnormal smells, vibrations, etc. Car sounded fine and the light went off so I went on my way. This morning the light came on again after passing a car at roughly 40-45mph. This time the car was somewhat hesitant to accelerate and the engine felt sluggish. After 45 seconds, the condition went away and the car experienced no further issues. My question is would the exhaust repair trigger some type of code to cause the light to come on? Is there a sensor in between the flex pipe repair that the mechanic could have possibly forgot to reconnect? Could an incorrect repair set the light off? Or could this be just a coincidence of two separate issues occuring at the same time? BTW, I have a dealer appt tomorrow to get a scan. Any thoughts/recommendations would be highly appreciated.

I bought a new 2016 Ford Edge Sport in August 2016. Since day one, an odd smell enters the cabin during hard acceleration out of the AC vents. I have to open the windows to vent out as the smell is so bad sometimes. I took to dealer with the problem. They put a disinfectant through the AC system. But that did not work. I just had it back to the dealer. Apparently, this is normal. They said when under heavy acceleration, PCM shuts AC compressor off to remove the load from the engine to allow for needed power from engine, recirc door moves to fresh air mode until gas pedal is released. If anyone else having this problem, hopefully this helps. Update: October 22, 2017 Still experiencing exhaust smell in cabin during hard acceleration, so bad at times, I need to open all windows to vent out. Did a search yesterday to see if I could find anything new about this issue. Check out this link. Im taking my 2016 Ford Edge back to Dealer tomorrow. https://ford.oemdtc.com/3015/exhaust-odor-in-the-vehicle-2015-2017-ford-edge-2016-2017-lincoln-mkx

Selling my stock cat back exhaust system off of my 2010 Ford Edge Limited AWD. I purchased the Magnaflow system so no longer need the stock one. No leaks or cracks, in good condition. Has approximately 60,000 miles on it. Preferably a local pick up since shipping would be a concern. It's all in one piece. $150 or make offer. Located in La Crosse,WI, can travel a little ways if needed. Call or text 608-780-6745 thanks, Ryan

Just picked up my car from getting magna flow exhaust installed and was worried due to videos making it sound just like stock.. took it around the block and low rpm sounds good and its a lot deeper and decently louder then stock.. not a race car loud but close to a fx35 just little louder.. but i love how it came out looks\sounds great. -Cruz

Does anyone still have the stock exhaust system for the 2011 edge sport 3.7? I want to go back to stock without paying an arm and leg at ford. Please PM me. Thanks, Dave
