IMHO, leave it alone, you will get harass by the cops a bit more.

Oh a 15 year old guy
with a loud Mach 1
not the best idea.

but, the sabotage idea from joekd is pretty good, get the car in a lift bent the **** out of the midpipe then tell him you hit something on the road. lol


Get Gears! :thumbsup:

^^ :laughing5: thats a good goal... but my dad would never let me take the block out (or someone else) to get it cammed. and my dad, well he has bad memories about gear swaps.

youre right he wouldnt take it off. he would find out, and with that lack of trust he would have for me if he did find out, he would sell it. ask me how i know.

So i take it it's not really your car then?

if it was his i doubt he would need help convincing his dad. not to mention he said he was 15, you cant legally own a car till your 18.

You should be happy you get to drive a a mach 1 and not a neon. Don't push DAD or you just might be. I would never let my kids drive a mustang unless it was a 6er. Just wait a couple years untill the car is in your name

+1 I would not allow my kids to own a performance car until they have a few years driving experience.

seems like you got the better end of that deal, brother gets a truck you get a mach 1. i think you should get a hypertech or some programmer like that and every time you drive just install a tune and then return to stock afterwords, then he wouldnt have to know, and it would sound the same.

So you can't get your dad to say yes to an exhaust set-up but he will let you go and buy a supercharger kit for the mach 1?? Doesn't make any sense

if it was YOUR car then he wouldn't have a say on whether or not you put an exhaust on it so we're led to believe it was bought for you...

break your current ones... id take a power drill to your cats, mufflers, and some piping... that way when he asks why you say "its broken." plus if he says no, it will sound cool.... lol.


or, just save your money and buy one yourself. a catback is only a couple hundred bux.

+2. You can't really appreciate something like that till you paid for it yourself.

Yup, that's why my 96 is still a slow npi slug.... Because my parents never bought anything for my car.

Well I understand that you want a new stereo because my mach 460 system sucked when I had it. But I did buy my speakers, so dont let the guys get you down because you have one badass car. Just do whatever you want to do, its your car man.
