I put an edge in, and I'm wondering where to go from here??? Exhaust, intake... something else? What have you guys put on your truck after the edge, and did you feel a noticable improvement. Also does anyone have any 0-60 or 1/4 times before/after the installation of their post edge mod? I'm just looking for the next best bang for my buck!

 

air intake headers and catback exhaust will round out the performance pretty good.

 

I just ordered an intake to go w/ my edge and flows. Id say go w/ exhaust then cai.

 

I'm the opposite, just ordered my Edge Evolution that should arrive early next week. I already have a Volant CAI and Magnaflow SISO exhaust which made nice improvents for throttle response and I swore I would not add anymore modifications to my truck. But, after riding in my friends Dodge pickup that had a programming chip installed, I was sold! Can't wait to get it....

So, I would definitely add a Cold Air Intake and Cat Back Exhaust system to compliment your Edge Programmer.

You won't be disappointed with the end results!

 

Thanks for the replies! Did you guys happen to run any 0-60 or 1/4 miles before you installed your exhaust or intake systems? Were you able to notice a BIG improvement after adding them?

 

Hello Nueby77,

You need to be *very* careful in changing the intake setup, as any intake kit that actually adds power is also going to lean out the A/F ratios of that vehicle - and in many cases, dangerously so. Do NOT depend on dash warning lights to keep you safe, it does not work like that.

What I would suggest is to go with the 3.0" version of the Air Force One intake kit, as that is the only kit that actually adds significant power without leaning out the engine.

In terms of the next mods to do in order of bang for the buck, I would install the 3.0" Air Force One, and then a Magnaflow cat-back exhaust system. From there, then throw on a set of underdrive pulleys as well - at that point, you will have a very nice running truck that has tuning, the engine is breathing well, and you free up some parasitic loss and get some better fuel mileage from the underdrive pulleys.

If you like, we can offer you a specially priced package if you want to do all of this at one time, to give you great one part at a time pricing since you are a registered member here.

One last point - with regard to headers - we do NOT recommend doing headers unless you are going to step up and do it right, by going with the Dynatech longtube headers & high flow cats/high-flow y-pipe assembly - this gets you 3-4 times the power gain of any shorty header on these newer F-150;s, and their quality is simply the best - they are a bit pricey, but *if* you decide to go with headers, put your pennies aside until you can get the best, as the install is involved, and if you are going to go that far, don't mess around with anything less than the best - your truck will show the difference in how well it runs.

I hope this brief info helps you a bit, & best of luck!

 

Thanks for the info Mike, I had my mind pretty much set on the AF1 from you guys, but I have heard about the lean condition intakes can cause and was wondering what size to go with. As for the Magnaflow cat-back system, can the Dynatech long tube header setup be added to that at a later time? Could you tell me about how about much power these items will add individually and combined? Thanks again for your time!
