[QUOTE="ON D BIT, post: 3188220, member: 10422"] if your son is still learning to drive i would think twice. in the spring of 04 in northern california a 16-17 year old high school athlete crashed his mach 1 on some back roads at night with three friends in the car. after he got out of the hospital he got a new mach 1 and his friend in the passenger seat recieved a one way pass the the morgue. :( i dont think any car over 300 horsepower is the correct car for kids to learn how to drive. as for sound, you will hear the whine of the blower over everything. if you want that old fashioned musclecar sound you will not get it with a blower on the engine. also the x pipe will give it more of a raspy sound. if you want muscular tone go with something like the mac prochamber h pipe, with a good chamber muffler. there is a good vid down below - mach 1's stocked geared finish in 3rd with 5 speed that only has a single chamber flowmaster with stock tubes. the car sounds good. horsepower added will be very minimal compared to the gains already made by the blower. i would say 20-30 to the wheels. will you be able to feel it? i dont think so.
