has anyone out there put the 03/04 machI ram air intake system on a 2V 4.6 mustang GT? maybe a 1999-2004 mustang GT? any pics would help greatly with the mounting.

I'd imagine that the actual mounting of the shaker wouldn't be too difficult - of course you'll need to fab some brackets to mount it, and you'll have to do some 'trial and error' engineering to get it to sit just right, but this shouldn't be too difficult.

Have you found a reasonably priced Shaker setup? Most people want an arm and a leg.

what i have on mine is a Cobra R model hood on my 2000 GT. I have found a person that wants to trade his Mach I hood setup for mine

there have been a number of people that put a Mach 1 Shaker on a 2V Mustang...KarKraft used to even have a kit for it before they went under...

I didn't keep track of the pictures and links because I think the CDC Shaker looks better...but I know that putting a Mach 1 Shaker on a GT can be done

It's the hood, shaker hood scoop and all of the factory plumbing to go with it.

I think you'd be venturing into uncharted territory Manny...but I really don't think this would be too difficult. The bracketry is minimal - you should be able to fab this up.

Would the gains of this mod be worth spent income and time?

Heck no, but it's a cool look. I love looking out my windshield and seeing that shaker dance. Makes me think my thingie is bigger than it really is.

well i did the trade and it does look cool. there is one issue though, the only part he did'nt have is the rain shield, the part that keeps water from running into the motor area. does any one know where i might be able to purchase one? what do you think the going price for it would be?

I did a quick search and I mean quick at LMR and didn't find one. At the very least you should be able to contact MPS autosalvage in Georgia and get one off a wrecked Mach. Probably one of the more expensive routes but I would bet they have one or will have one soon.

That sucks.. maybe best bet is find a junkyard that has one and get it asap. There are others out there in junkyards just going to be tougher to find than the usual GT. Get on some lists in the area if they let you and have them call when one comes in.

You'll likely have to buy that part new Manny - since, as you found out, nobody is going to want to separate it from the rest of the shaker assembly.

Did you install it yet? I've got a brake job to do on my Mach, but it's just been too cold to want to work on it (currently 32.7 degrees - warmer in my garage, but not a whole lot warmer). Hopefully I'll get on it this weekend when it's supposed to be back to 'normal'.

yes i have installed it and i cant believe what a difference it makes. i did have a cold air kit on my GT already and i thought that was good the shaker setup works GREAT on the highway too, just a little touch to the throttle and she goes around slower cars, even with the cruise control. i will be doing a mod to the inside of the shaker that i have seen on the mach 1 site. all i had to do is fab up 2 brackets that i made from aluminum that i got from home depot and walla done. its hard not to look at the shaker while your driving lol.
