This is great.
Okay so MAC might be the choice for cold air intake? I'd like to know if ANY air intake is plug an play. I don't have to chage timing or anything else? (I'm an old V8 person) Also, when it is installed what happens to gas mileage (both intown and highway driving)? I really like the member post to a site with step-by-step pictures (great).

yeah id say MAC is the like the brand name of the cold air intake but there are other brand name cai's that are way cheaper and add the same horseys as a mac....none of my friends are gonna be like...is that a MAC cai or a cheap ebay one?...they will be just as impressed with the chrome and wont matter what brand it is....theyll think im an idiot if i spent 175$ for like 5 hp, max, rather than spending around $50 for even 3 hp....id say take the risk of getting a nice somewhat brand name(bomz racing or some other cai that has a brand name at least) from ebay and seeing if it fits rather than spending 3x that....thats just my opinion
i like taking risks

oh yeah,i dont think ive complimented booze on the step by step pic of a mac install...very nice very nice

 

Baddog, they make larger throttle bodies, but you have to port your intake, or in other words, cut your stock intake manifold to the new size throttle body.

 

The T/B end of the intake in mine is now 65mm, but it opened WAY up inside the intake manifold...so no.

 

I see...can you like, over do it? Like over-carburating.

 

Ok ...got a question

I have an 04 3.9L V6...please tell me the MAC will fit.

Thanks

 

the mac will fit the 3.9l....at least i think, what i would do is wherever you get ur mac ask them specifically if it will fit the later 04 with the 3.9l in it....the only 3.9l on this forum i know of is NewMexMustang and i think he has a K&N cai...
best bet to just ask usually online sites,especially our sponsors,have excellent customer service....ask autobadges,hed know 100% if it will fit

 

Couldn't you put the filter on before you attached the chrome piece to the inside of the fender? Just wondering...CAUSE I'M GETTING ONE!

 

Well...now you know two. I was reading that the 3.9L replaced the 3.8L in 04 and only for one year and only in the American Mustang. Sooooo...I guess there won't be many performance parts.....

Shucks......I knew I should have gotten the GT.

 

Also..that's who I got the MAC from.......autobadges......"suppport our sponsors"
Now I wish for a pair of chrome valve covers and enough money to upgrade the exhaust to duals.
Went to the local Midas shop.....$650.....maybe after christmas...
And COOL....NewMexMustang and I are the only 3.9L...well we're neighbors anyway.
