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.

Dont they make larger throttle bodies, by millimeter or something? And then wouldnt the next thing down still rescrict it? the manifold I guess...
The T/B end of the intake in mine is now 65mm, but it opened WAY up inside the intake manifold...so no.

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

yeah if you got it from a sponsor it will fit....and im in the process of converting my exhaust to duals as well and I think i may only have to pay $60 for two force mufflers and about 120-150 for the pipe work at a muffler shop, and I have read some posts on other forums where this sounds awesome....especially for the low cost.....Ill let ya know though

not bad,what year do u have because as long as you dont have a 98 then u could maybe be interested in getting some mac long tube headers,as long as it doesnt mess up ur pypes system...Im not too sure about the price....check out some of the sponsors sites, these long tubes or even shorty tubes from mac allow for even more air flow through the exhaust, but too much air flow can be a bad thing too, but im not too sure about this......maybe someone can help me out
