I am interested in the street spec.  Very curious to hear the two side by side.  If the street spec is a tad quieter and has no drone or rattle I think you'll have a real winner.

In my opinion its very similar to the Police interceptor exhaust,probably might need to add a )Y-PIPE)before the cats along with some custom welding.  Z    https://levittownfordsupercenter.com/levittown-parts/#parts   Btw you can purchase a Y-PIPE at Summitt or any performance retailer,hope this helps any if the exhaust is sold.  Z     Here's another link.   https://levittownfordsupercenter.com/levittown-parts/#parts

If you have occasion to call/deal with Levittown, ask for Benny, he's da man over there in parts.  Levittown is also a sponsor of the Edge forum.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Interesting, I might go this route. Do you happen to know the diameter of the SEL piping?

It should be 2.25" if i'm not mistaken,you can always call and confirm with Benny because SHOdded and him are certainly da man. Z    https://levittownfordsupercenter.com/levittown-parts/#parts

Oh ok, I thought that's what MD was using on that prototype exhaust. What size is that?

ZSHO

Mdesign exhaust.      After doing many different exhaust configurations first hand, including different sized piping, configuration of piping, and different brands of mufflers/resonators I've learned a lot in regards to the EcoBoost exhaust system when it comes to sound.

If you're going to modify your stock exhaust I highly suggest leaving the OEM mufflers intact and untouched as they do a great job in preventing dreaded cabin drone. The best thing you can do to the OEM exhaust is a modification of the "X-pipe" mod:

1. Cut out the resonator and third cat as you would per the x-pipe mod
2. Insert a 2.25" dual to 3" single y-pipe right after the flanges for the beginning of the OEM cutback
3. Use a 3" in-out Vibrant Ultra-Highflow SS Resonator
4. Come back into another 3" single to 2.25" dual y-pipe to mate to the rest of the factory exhaust system.

So you are essentially doing the X-pipe mod though a different configuration of it which will create a unique sound and kill any rasp.

Here is an example below to show the y-pipe to the single resonator though it did not go back into the OEM configuration and it is custom all the way through

I have it, and I'm looking to sell it. Only issue would be figuring out shipping.

I assume this is the race version, did the one you get have the xpipe or resonator added to reduce drone? I seem to remember you taking this off because it was too loud. I would be interested as well, and I'm close by. Only thing it that I don't want to deal with highway drone.

It is and I did. I ended up getting a really good deal on a SW exhaust so I swapped it out, I do think adding a resonator to the MDesign would fix it up nicely. Given that it's not really gonna be easy to ship and that I think most people would want to add a resonator or something to help with drone at least a bit, I'd price it pretty reasonably and it's definitely possible to use your car to haul it home if need be as I brought it home from Michigan in mine.
