Modded or stock? - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

73mach03 · 12-13-2010, 08:33 AM

I know a lot of owners love to mod their cars and some prefer to keep their car stock. I would think that by now, there are fewer stock Mach 1s available than modded ones. Maybe far fewer.

So what category do you fall in?

If this has been asked before, I apologize in advance.

When I purchased mine it had C.A.I, Flow Master Exhaust (original in in basement), "MUSTANG" Decal on the rear bumper & Tinted windows. I have removed the C.A.I and replaced with the stock one but I have added the 40th Anniversary Emblem to the Shifter Bezel. I have MACH1 Floor mats to instal in the spring and I REALLY wanna get new Mach Style wheel & tires (glad that AFS is starting again) Only other thing I keep thinking about is the Honey Comb Panel for the rear, but I don't wanna remove the emblems.

So not sure where I fall......both choice's are pretty close

Stock... Almost like it just rolled out of the factory.
Slight changes, but very close to stock.

While mine is non-stock under the hood and floorpan, it is stock in appearance. The only visual non-factory pieces are the Wheel Replica FR5's and SSS rolled exhaust tips.

What makes you say that???

Nekasrof · 06-03-2012, 07:32 PM

Underdrives have caused issues with the Mach, do a search. They aren't worth the money.

Full exhaust
Intake - port and polish it, throttle body and head side
Throttle body - either polish and port match factory to the intake or get an Accufab

CAI and RAI are over rated - it's the tune that does the hp increase, not the CAI/RAI. Save your money here. Stay factory and leave the screen in, it's there for a reason.

Intake spacer - small gains

NA power - do cams
Real power - put a blower on it but be careful with the stock bottom end.

Mine is lowered, with chrome, staggered 17 inch FR500's, tinted windows, and the rear honeycomb panel. Not many mods under the hood though, just the K&N RAI, an off road h-pipe, and magnaflow mufflers with bigger tips. Would love to do more in the future.

badboy · 10-29-2014, 02:27 PM

Mine is stock except 10.5 wheels in back and a Hurst shifter.
I'm the original owner with 33,000 miles.

Wandering a bit from my mostly stock Mach 1. Just got a Bassani exhaust installed. Wow. Wish I would have done that a few years ago. Amazing sounds. The stereo is getting a well deserved rest. Even the AC is taking a break, so I can enjoy the sound with the windows down.
