I would welcome all suggestions and experiences. I'm considering changing up my Mach 1. The car is strictly used on the road, never tracked. I also want to keep the car very reliable. I will be keeping the car naturally aspirated, no super charger or turbos. What would you guys suggest? Headers, exhaust, etc...

Cosmetic mods being considered? I'm going to have something leftover from the initial budget. I'm thinking on spending it on interior carbon fiber replacement panels/inserts (dash, console and maybe door).

Otherwise, I'll be doing the usual, none of which I consider mods: oil separator, A/S rims and tires, jacking rails, etc.

Yes, cosmetic mods also considered. On that front, I'm considering carbon hood, forged carbon steering wheel and carbon dashboard.

If you have the Tremec, I would look at changing the axle ratio. Going to 4.10 minimum. You will need a tune of some type, but the torque multiplication will be very noticable. One of the reasons I sold my M1 is because of the long gearing. Won't affect mileage much but it will have more grunt in every gear.

Do not do headers unless you are going to tune the car. I can't stress this enough. People think you can just toss them on and be fine and make a lot of noise. Your stock tuned car won't like it long term. Chances of misfires, check engine lights, etc. Just do it right if you do headers.

I would keep the axleback that's on the car if anything. The big GT500 tips are unique to the car. With catted headers, you'll want a midpipe that's resonated or use the stock resonator.

Right with you for "the usual". In fact, the A/S tires were "handy" on yesterday's return from Massachusetts (pictures attached - "before" snow coverage in MA and "after" road spray in VA), and the jacking rails make it so much easier to change from OE wheels with 4S tires to my square A/S set up. Only additional mod I'm considering is resonator delete, but it has to stay subtle since I like staying in stealth mode when appropriate. Like when Waze tells me there's police ahead and the fool in the Charger or Camaro decides to try to get me to step on it -- Quiet mode works wonderfully and I'm not the one who gets all the attention!

Don’t tell him that … !

@2021 Mach 1 - Defo do the full cat back :like:























Then sell me the Mach 1 stuff, I will gladly take a trip down south to take it off your hands :like:

Joking aside, please keep me top of your list for the take off parts if you do choose to go that route :like:
