Just installed catback #15773 on my 09 sport, easy to install and fits good. Sounds so freakin good to. i had to remove my factory hitch(never use it anyways.) cuz the pipes came right under the hitch, so i found them to low. besides that pretty sweet.For the edge model i have no idea why it doesn't fit.

Since your in ontario look on Magnaflow Exhaust Solutions-Hottexhaust.com website . that's were i bought it. it doesn't say that it does not fit the sports model. only edge. If you have an Edge model give them a buzz or write them. I had a super service with them. You can make them an offer on the price on the net. i made an offer and they accepted .

i had to have my magnaflow exhaust custom built because the truck came factory with a receiver hitch. this is why the "do it yourself" magaflow si/do systems won't work on edges because many or all the 4x4 models came with receiver hitches.

When I went to talk to my exhaust guy about doing SI/DO, he said many of the kits have problems with both the frame and spare tire location. Edges apparently have something different going on underneath. My guy did excellent work: a cat back all stainless steel system which sounds great. I would hate to buy a kit online only to find out that while I'm installing I run into clearance issues. Just my .02.
