    Aftermarket exhaust options

    I’ve had a few SN-95 New Edge Mustangs, and like the ones before that people either installed a catback exhaust system or a midpipe (with or without cats), or both. I just bought a 2017 GT Premium that is completely stock. What’s everyone doing on these S-550s? Replace the “midpipe” with one...

    OEM Wheels/Tires questions - 2017 GT

    I recently bought a White 2017 GT Premium with the Black Accent Package - a great combo IMO. Couple of questions about the wheels and tires that were originally installed with this package. Are the wheels 19 X 9 or 9.5? (I’m assuming they aren’t staggered sizes.) Are the OEM tires 275/40-19...

    Out with the old, in with the new

    Hey folks, it’s been a while since I’ve been out here (save for a post a month or two ago it had been several years!). I just traded in my once beloved 2004 Mach 1 and purchased a low miles, like new 2017 GT Premium. It’s Arctic White with the Black Accent package and I absolutely love it. My...

    Drivetrain Is it another bad throw out bearing?

    I have a 2004 Mach 1 and after having a new clutch kit installed the TOB was squealing, so the shop that did the work (a highly reputable Mustang shop) bought and installed a Ford TOB. Same problem. It doesn’t do it (chirp) at idle and doesn’t do it immediately when it’s cold, but after...

    I Love The Stance, But I Can't Get No Satis - Traction.

    Hey everyone, I own a 2004 Mach 1, and while spinning my Nitto NT-05 315/35 tires at will is certainly fun, I have been recently remembering a friends 280ZX Turbo back in the day...the thing that sticks out in my memory is the way it would squat so deeply under hard acceleration I often thought...

    Decisions, decisions - which 427 would you use?

    I can only WISH I had this issue - having to choose between a 427 SOHC (the original SOHC motor) and a 427 FE - Shelby motor. Tough choice. I received both for Christmas - wish they were the real deal, but these are terrific models, very well detailed.

    FRPP Warranty?

    So i bought, among other parts, an FRPP TOB. Mustang shop put it in (along with a Mcleod Super Street Pro Clutch - I didn't know I needed it until they pulled the transmission and inspected it. I KNEW I needed a TOB, and THOUGHT FRPP would be an excellent one) and it immediately squeals. They...

    Short Shifters - Difference In Height Vs. Stock

    I'm looking at purchasing a RedLine custom Shift Boot and one of the options they offer is a custom height. On the Order Form they ask: "Shift Boot Resize (Add $9)" - with options ranging from 1" shorter to 4" shorter, with several incremental choices in between (1.2", 1.5", 1.8", 2.0", 2.2"...

    Clutch Making A Whoosing Sound

    This is in my Mach 1. Clutch is about 2.5 years old, about 16K miles on it (it doesn't get driven too much). Essentially, when depressing or releasing the clutch a whoosing sound is made. Don't really know how else to describe it. It's not your typical TOB noise - I know that sound very...

    Pass Side Window Doesn't Work From The Driver's Side

    Guys and Gals, I need some help... In this thread a week or so ago I talked about how (I thought) my driver's side power window switch for the pass side window had died, so I bought a new (OEM) switch from American Muscle, and a 'One Touch' module from Pony Performance. (I hate just fixing...

    Power Window Switch Died

    My driver's side window switch for the pass side window has died. (it's no wonder because if you've ever tried to open your driver's side window with any amount of rain falling, it drips right onto the switches.) The window works fine from the pass side switch. Can I install another one-touch...

    New Pioneer Deck - Question Re: Parking Brake

    I just finished installing my new AVH-P4400BH into my 2004 Mach 1. Everything went fine except it won't play a DVD because I didn't connect the parking brake wire. (I wrongfully assumed if I didn't connect it, it wouldn't matter.) Looking at the parking brake, there doesn't appear to be...

    SCT SF3 Tuner help

    I bought a used SCT SF3 tuner for my Mach 1. (Previously I had a Diablo Predator tuner, but after several attempts, working directly with Diablo, we could never get a decent tune. I ended up selling it and have been 'tuneless' for the past year or so. I'm finally getting 4.10s for my Mach, so...

    Replacing my 04 Mach 460 with an 03 head unit

    The volume control on my 04 Mach 460 head unit is trashed. I have very little control over the volume, having to spin the knob repeatedly to get it to react. So I found a friend with an 03 Mach 460 unit, thinking it would swap right in. WRONG. The main plug on the rear is completely...

    Adding an H Pipe - need other parts?

    I'm an SN-95 guy, so I'm not sure what might be needed to add an O/R H Pipe to my son's 92 5.0L vert besides the pipe itself - like... O2 extensions? Or do the rear O2s need to be turned off with an O/R pipe? HELP! Thanks! Chris

    Nitto NT05 opinions wanted

    I'm in need of tires for my 04 Mach 1. I currently have 315/35 - 17 and 275/40 - 17 Sumitomos - they are about done. I have no traction and never really had great traction with these inexpensive tires. Time to upgrade. I'm really leaning toward the Nitto NT05 all around. I've also heard some...
