2011 Ford Edge with Magnaflow Exhaust + K&N Air Intake

A quick video I just threw together of the new exhaust system on my Ford Edge.
Here's a video I threw together of the sound hard acceleration in a tunnel: • 2011 Ford Edge MAGNAFL...
Intake: K&N 77-2583KS
Exhaust: Magnaflow 16871

[@danski6694]

Excellent. Not over the top. Classy and smooth

[@TheBassGuitar4Christ]

Did you have to apply a tune for the K&N? It all sounds great.

[@johnanderson2182]

Sorry for the delay - no I didn't need to tune it for either the intake or exhaust. it is a good idea to disconnect the battery when doing either of those, as it triggers a relearn the PCM which does all the adjustment you really need for the new gear.

[@junkbox93]

That is not mesh in the tips. Those are resonator tips. They are a double wall tip with the inner wall being perforated. They are designed to resonate at certain frequencies to effectively amplify the sound.

[@johnanderson2182]

Cool, good to know!

[@niveklor1456]

Oooooh

[@charleslincoln5357]

I like it I want this for wife’s daily that I drive when home every time

[@bobbydabutcha]

Cool set up! What kind of performance did this add to the Edge and did you ever get a custom tune? I hear the tune really wakes it up on these motors!

[@johnanderson2182]

I never did get a tune but probably should have. Throttle response seemed a lot quicker but it might be subjective since I enjoyed the sound so much haha. Incidentally I just sold the car last week, but it ran great for years after these mods.

[@bobbydabutcha]

@@johnanderson2182 ah man, what did you replace it with? The Edge isn’t super fast but it gets around town pretty good!

I have a 2013 Ford Edge limited I want to do the same with mines

[@MrFox1952]

did you get any coding errors after the upgrades?

[@johnanderson2182]

Gerry Leduc nope, no codes at all. It is a good idea to disconnect the battery during the install so the PCM does a relearn after, but there were no codes and it didn't need a tune.

[@blackjack9863]

Inside with drones on speed- / highway between cruising?

[@johnanderson2182]

It's not bad at all honestly, unless you go past 85 mph or so. You hear it nicely when accelerating but it calms right down at cruising speeds.

[@donaldcardwell4945]

Cost?

[@johnanderson2182]

About $900 Canadian

[@georgieyannios7698]

What k&n filter did you put on I have a 2011 Lincoln MKX and I wanted to find one that would fit.

[@johnanderson2182]

I installed this one: www.knfilters.ca/cold-air-intakes/ford/edge/3.5l-v6-gas/2011 Its fairly pricey but was super easy to install

[@brandonterry4638]

I have a 2013 limited,Spectre ghost performance CAI,jet module tuned,what exact kind of magnaflow kit is this?

[@johnanderson2182]

Nice! Tuning is next on my list whenever I can afford it. I just installed the Magnaflow #16871 catback kit. Installation was easy. Also I had done the K&N CAI kit a while back, which definitely contributes to the sound. That same kit is compatible with your 2013 if you're interested.

[@brandonterry4638]

@@johnanderson2182 love the set up and the sound is just throaty enough. How was the MPG gain or torque?

[@brandonterry4638]

If you go chip like I did due to costs the JET brand is one of the few that is under 300$ and is the real deal..

[@johnanderson2182]

Thanks! Torque feels a bit better but it's hard to say if it's subjective or not. MPG is about the same. I get just enough head-turning to make it worth it regardless, so I'm happy lol. And nice! I'll definitely look into Jet then. that's a pretty good price point

[@brandonterry4638]

@@johnanderson2182 I know that's right my fellow edge owner I ran the full LED inside kit for 15 bucks and Phillips crystal vision ultra headlights for 28$. I thought deleting my resonator first then adding the exhaust...not sure to be honest..keep up the mods buddy look forward to seeing it.

[@Arasmus125]

Sounds good, I see I'm pretty late for this one. I understand the intake/exhaust part for performance. Did it change your fuel economy +/- ?

[@johnanderson2182]

Thanks! I didn't notice a discernible difference in economy. That might be because I love the exhaust sound so much that I drive it a bit more aggressively now :)

[@niveklor1456]

Suburban! Trailer park boys.,Laughing Out Loud.not lol,but for REAL.

[@jonathansosa1781]

sounds good and subtle. adding a muffler to it?

[@johnanderson2182]

Yeah I love how it doesn't sound like much till you really open it up. The Magnaflow kit does have both a resonator and muffler on it already, and I think I'll leave it as is. It's at the just the right volume level for most driving situations (it's only on the highway around like 75-80 mph that it gets a bit annoyingly loud).

[@jonathansosa1781]

John Anderson that's unfortunate because I was looking to get this and most free ways and highways is 75mph to 80mph. sounds great with the intake also. I have the same k&n with some hr Springs and 265 super sport tires. the exhaust is probably the last thing I do to this car. it's just so heavy

[@johnanderson2182]

Gotcha. Around where I live in Canada the speed limits usually 110 kph (70 mph) so unless I'm speeding it's fine. Cool call on the springs - I might need to look into that as well. Are they super expensive? Otherwise I'm mostly done with mods too, except maybe some tuning when I can afford to.

[@jonathansosa1781]

John Anderson the springs I got lowered the car well. just had a vision for it. once I got the new tires, the fitment was perfect. I got mine for 240. I'm sure they're the same price but you might even find cheaper ones. I was originally gonna go with eibach but I just wanted something American made lol

[@johnanderson2182]

Sweet. I'll definitely look into that. Thanks for the info!

[@HancockTheMP]

I just picked up a 2011 Edge the other day and I'm thinking this needs to be my first mod. How is the drone at highway speeds?

[@johnanderson2182]

Mine's perfectly fine until about 120 kph (75 mph). Between 120-130 the K&N intake starts resonating and is a little annoying, but with some music going I barely notice (and you can still talk over it just fine). If you do the exhaust only you should be fine though!

[@HancockTheMP]

Awesome! Coming from a GTI with a 3" turbo back that was dead quiet with the cruise set, yet loud enough to not be overbearing when you stepped on it, I definitely want the same from my Edge. It's good to know that it doesn't get too obnoxious because it sounds great from your video.

[@johnanderson2182]

This will definitely get you a similar effect. Thanks, and I hope yours works out great as well!

[@HancockTheMP]

Just to be clear, you said in another comment this was MF Part # 16871 correct? Their website doesn't show this as being compatible for the 2011 models with the 3.5L. Did you have to do any custom fabricating to make this fit?

[@johnanderson2182]

Yep, 16871 is what I ordered. I just dug up the invoice (from a place called TDot Performance in Canada) and confirmed. I'm not sure why Magnaflow doesn't show it working for 2011 now - the 2011 year was definitely listed at the time (and I did a ton of research into it because theirs was the only kit at the time that worked with both FWD and AWD Edges). Mine is a 2011 Limited AWD 3.5L, and I remember that the Flowmaster kit only worked with FWD's because of the rear sway bar placement on the AWD's. The only issue I ran into was that the end connecting to the original pipe on the cat was pretty tight, but I used a cheap pipe expander bit (which I got for like $20 locally) to widen it a bit, then everything went on fine. I'm sure it would have worked without that tool but it made it a lot easier. Otherwise, I didn't have to do anything custom. Anyways, I'd give Magnaflow a call and confirm with them. My understanding is that there are virtually no changes between the 2011-2014 model years that should affect exhaust fitment, but hopefully they can clear it up!

[@mikerussell2534]

What motor is in that??

This is the 3.5L V6 Duratec.

3.5L V6 actually. Naturally aspirated (the Duratec/Cyclone engine)

[@carlosmarrero6967]

Did you have a increase in HP after replacing the exhaust?

[@johnanderson2182]

Honestly I can't say for sure since I didn't dyno it or anything. I want to say there's a tiny bit more power, but it could be all in my head since I love the sound so much.

[@noahkidd4674]

The cold air intake alone claims like 10 or 15 horsepower increase, theoretically this should put that car up to about 300 horses

[@johnanderson2182]

@@noahkidd4674 True. I'm always a bit skeptical of those claims, but who knows. I wish I had a buddy with a dyno locally. Based on the number of slightly sporty cars (think 80's/90's mustangs, that sort of thing, not real performance cars) that I've outrun, I'm sure I've gained a few HP though.

[@spear820]

How hard is the install?

[@johnanderson2182]

Not hard at all. It was a few years ago but I think it only took two hours or so. I only needed an impact plus a pipe expander tool.

[@martinruiz5156]

What exactly did you do to the exhaust? How much did you pay?

[@johnanderson2182]

I put on a Magnaflow cat back kit. Part# 16871 to be exact. Plus some of the sound comes from the K&N air intake. Roughly $800 for the exhaust, and $300 for the intake.
