    My MM is falling apart!

    Well, not really, but it seems to be going through some growing pains. I've only been driving the car about six months since purchasing...the first month went great. I then had some Stainless works headers, borla mufflers, magnaflow x-tube and hi-flow cats installed and took the car to...

    Always something never nothing

    It is a complete unit...Mine went out last year...The common occurrence is the fan shroud breaks and the fan blades begin to hit. If you go with Ford OEM be prepared for sticker shock....I went with a Dorman aftermarket and have had no issues. Some suggest that there was a problem with...

    Twice today!!!

    Yep....I took the kid tonight to the local sonic for some slushies (it was 105 deg today)...I forgot Friday night was ricer night at this particular sonic. I got some strange looks as I tooled around and parked. After finishing up our slushies, I barked the S/C a little, and got some thumbs...

    Annual Pool Party

    At least Naperville is a nice area...I travel there myself 4 to 6 times a year. Stay at the Hyatt in Lisle....Very nice hotel and pretty active bar at night.

    Other drivers always want to race !!

    I dunno....I've noticed the opposite in my area. When I tool around in my GN, I get way more action. When I'm in the MM I get none. In 6 months of recent driving, I've been challenged once by anything reasonable (a mid 2000 mustang). Everyone else either doesn't know or doesn't care about a MM.

    Failed Illinois Emissions

    Mine passed weirdly recently....Had a lidio tune but car was in storage, battery dead. Yanked battery, took it across street from storage unit to a batteries plus and had them charge it. Took it back across the street put it in car and literally drove it one block to inspection station and it...

    Benson NC

    They're good guys, but their shop is a mess. I bought my own SW long tubes, magnaflow hi flow cats and x-tube and had RJ's in Raleigh weld it up. RJ's is the ONLY custom exhaust fab shop I'd trust in our area...Google them and they receive raves from the pro-street crowd.

    Benson NC

    Dang...Day late and dollar short. Had I seen this post a couple of days ago, I'd come by for sure. I need FL to tweak my tune a bit....I'm throwing codes ever since they dyno tuned my long tubes....Forgot to shutoff the front rear o2's on my high flows and I'm also having some shifting issues now.

    Ford is putting a new engine in the Marauder

    I would assume that a Trilogy S/C voids this coverage? I just checked the pricing on a 5 year plan and I'd get it for piece of mind, but the car has been trilogized....

    P0420 and p0430

    Just talked to my tuner and they said they can also turn off the 2nd cats but wasn't sure if that affected the inspection readiness for Marauders. He said for 2005 Mustangs and up that turning off the back cats does. If Lidio is turning his off, I assume it's okay?

    Seems I have two bad cats :eek: However, the cats are brand new High Flows from Magnaflow. Well not BRAND new, but less than 500 miles on them. As is the new Stainless Works Long Tubes, Borla mufflers and X-Over. A reputable custom muffler shop installed it all. I have an AutoIngenuity scan...

    I Hate Driving My Marauder Now!

    My car passed emissions with lido tune and trilogy, no problem....Why are you guys having to revert to stock?

    Drag Race Tips

    Thinking about taking my Trilogy to 1/8 mile test and tune in Benson/Dunn speedway....I dyno'd 463 RWHP with custom tune. I've read through the thread and have a few newbie questions.... Drive around water box, check...Do a short burnout to clean tires. My question here is I've seen waterbox...

    RPM Fluctuations

    Did you ever find the cause....I just had my car dyno'd and it's doing the exact same thing. When I let off the gas at around 2000 RPM, the RPMs will drop to 1700, surge back to 1900, drop to 1600, surge to 1800, etc. until about 1500 RPM it stops and drops to idle speed. I'm wondering could...

    Dyno tuned last week

    I'm embarrassed to say I don't know all the exacts because much of the car was as it is when I bought it from the previous one owner (was a member here). In discussing the build with him, the Trilogy is pretty much stock right out of the box. Stock Pulleys. Stock air box still even. It does...

    Dyno tuned last week

    So I read a little on Std vs SAE....General rule of thumb is SAE is .974 of std #'s, so SAE equivalent is 451? Am I correcting the right direction for my atmospheric conditions of 72 degrees, probably 30% humidity that day? I do recall they had a huge fan blowing on the intake of the car to...
