NO problem. I know what you mean about hesitation, btu I just loved working on that thing. I didn't do the midpipe or the UD's (had them on for about 5k miles and took them off), but did everything else.
Funny you mention the CO. I thought the same thing. DSG then CO....that was until I saw AB in person. Fell in love with it. It's a hard color to photograph so it looks like crap in alot of pics.
And OMG!!! I love AB! A guy around my area has one with basically the same setup i have but with the Stock wheels that are the deep dish. Its flat out beautiful!!! Really??? There hard to get pics of? I thought they'd be pretty easy. In my opinion i think the CO is the hardest to get pics of. It seems like they always turn out more red than they actually are. lol
No prob man, and for $100 i think its a must mod with our Mach's. Up to 15rwt and 3 to 4rwhp. And from what i hear you can actually feel the difference in this mod.:rockon:
Cool, cant wait until I see the pictures.
Well we can see. Whats $100 bucks. I could buy condoms but I like it raw Porno I can get for free, and well why the hell not lol. I can even get a dyno after to see if it really did change anything.
Wtf? lol
+1 The EGR gasket on my car was bad and it caused my car to die, but I loved the sound it made while it was running for that glorious 10 seconds. With the EGR leak it sounds like the car has a wicked cam on it. But like he stated above they are only $3-5 bucks if that and it's better to replace it than get the job almost done to find out your car needs to be broken back into.
Damn! So was it the spacer or the gasket that caused the problem?
It's the gasket causing problems. The spacer when installed correctly causes no problems at all (unless you get a big one and that will cause clearance issues as stated above). But you have to take the EGR off to get the lid off of the intake and that gasket inbetween the EGR and the lid is very fragile. Get the PHP or Roy spacer and run over to Autozone or O'Reilly and pick up an EGR gasket just to give yourself some piece of mind.
You are so full of crap. I'd LOVE to see proof of this. Let's see it cowboy. I have YET to see a single mach owner not say it adds power. Aside from the fact that both of my machs have had them and I know first hand.
goodtms-Yep. No issues with the spacer as long as you do it right, which isnt' hard at all. The gasket for the EGR is just something simple and cheap that you can plan for just to be safe. YOu only have13k miles so you might be fine, but you still might consider it. It's nothign big, trust me.
It doesn't add any power. All it does is shift the powerband lower in the RPM range so the power comes in a bit sooner.
HAHAH..wow.
Sit down before you hurt yourself.
You are correct that it broadens the power band, but you are incorrect to your comment about increasing power. It DOES increase Torque.
I haven't actually seen the dyno charts from anyone that supports that, so feel free to be the first.
Have you seen ANY dyno charts? Are you even refering to Mach's or are you talking about 99-01 Cobra's? Cause they dont' do crap for the 99-01 cobra's.
BTW - go on the registry and do a search. I know what I'm talking about. It's obvious you don't.
I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule.
:lol:

I've never seen a spacer lower the rpm of peak TQ or peak HP. You aren't adding runner length, you're adding plenum volume.
With stock Cobra cams and a 7/8" spacer my cars makes peak TQ at almost 5000 and peak HP at almost 6200, the spacer didn't seem to shift the power band to a lower rpm on my car. That's with a pretty big spacer too.
