Best CAI for 03-04 Mach 1??

[1FaStMcLAREN]

well i recently bought an 04 mach 1. runs great but it's time for the mods to begin, well i know theres many different CAI for mach 1's but i still havent got the chance to choose one from all of them.. what do you guys think? any suggestions? i had an 03 mach 1 and i put the k & n filtercharger intake system and it ran good, but i would like to try another brand.. anything will help.. thanks!

try a JLT CAI quite a few have them and are happy with it

that's what i was looking at online lol.. i know they make two styles, i know the shaker hood really doesnt get too much air flow/power, but i would still like to keep its purpose.. because jlt had the kit that goes with your shaker and the other kit is the one that would go straight to your fender.. tough decision!!

 

[03ghoststang]

hey man whatever you choose you still have a 4V i cant wait to get mine

Save your money for gears or something else. A CAI won't give you the HP you want to feel.

I've got the C@L Tru-Flow Intake, but we all know the argument that leads too.

 

[bj350hp]

JLT (the one that works with the shaker) for the win

 

[1FaStMcLAREN]

yeah.. i finally made my choice.. like the98stang said.. i'll rather save up some money for my gears, so im going to go for jlt, it's pretty cheap compared to others...


hey Crzyhrse, what other mods do you have on your mach?

 

[1FaStMcLAREN]

thanks to everyone for your recomendations.. i'll put my pic up of the mach 1...

... by the way, i was considering on trading my buddy for his IRS off his 03 cobra.. any suggestions.. many people say .. that a live axle is the way to go and things like that.. but i kinda want to be a lil different.. anybody know someone who has done it??..

thanks

Not much at all. Magnapacks Catback, Bassani Catted X, Predator tuned on Mustang Dyno, C@L, and MGW shifter. I'm kind of in a rut right now. No money for mods and won't have any for awhile. Cams or headers would be nice, but the cost of them plus labor is just outrageous.

Not sure if Demolet makes a CAI thats compatible with the Mach 1, but I have one for my 03GT and its a nice mod. install was kind of pain but not that bad. check out stangpro.com if you want to take a look at them

sounds like a good combination... yeah i know a cam job is really expensive, and plus you need someone who knows what he is doing or else.... .....

my mods and with the help of money. lol. are as follows..

borla stinger catback
bassani off road
accufab throttle body
4:10 gears
predator with dyno tuned
and probably the jlt intake..

but that's pretty much what you can do to a mach.. other than that it's expensive, well headers too.. ...

The accufab throttle body isn't worth it, some people even have problems getting the idle straightened out even with a tune.

Just a CAI and an O/R X should put you around 300 to the wheels, just remember you're in cali and you'll remove the X-pipe everytime inspection comes around

 

[Crzyhrse]

Sounds like a great combo. Gears could be a near future mod for me just to satisfy my mod cravings. You'll have to let me know how the Accufab T.B. works for you. I was considering that, but the problems people are having with the BBK ones has me re-thinking that route.

lol!!! .. that's exactly what my buddies and i were working on last night..he has an 03 mach and we couldnt get the idle down until the programming took place.. ..

do any other throttle bodies work the like the accufab???

Not even worth changing it, their probably won't be any gain at all, the stock body flows good enough, look for something else
