[QUOTE="Tungsten, post: 234012, member: 546239"] Firsrt and foremost, welcome to the Mustang family. I too have a 1998 Mustang. It's a GT. Very good car for the money and plenty of performance potential if you are willing to get your hands dirty and play with it some. If yours is a GT, definitely look into doing a 2002 head/cam/intake swap on the car sometime in the near future. It'll add about 65-75hp over base and really wakes the 1998 model up. You will quickly learn that the 1998 was the redheaded stepchild of the SN95 Mustang family. 1998 was a transition year which means that it isn't quite the same as the 1996-97 modular 4.6L cars nor is it the same as the 1999+ cars. A lot of parts were shared between the 1998 GT and the 1998 Cobra to keep cost down. Noteably, the gas tank - a small thing which forces us to find exhaust components made specifically for the 1998 GT/Cobra.

I tried to go the route you are thinking about taking with my sound system and it didn't take long to decide just to gut the Mach460 components and go completely aftermarket. I would highly encourage you to start thinking along those lines. I re-used the Mach460 tweeter pods in the sail panels, but everything else is gone. It sounds worlds better now too.
