2021 Mach 1 - Add Tons of Torque for Under $150

2021 Mach 1 - Add Tons of Torque for Under $150. Do you want to add 20-40ft lb of torque and 2-8rwhp for under $150?! Well you can with one simple modification and it's totally emissions legal and doesn't require a tune. Check out the installation of this C&L resonator delete h pipe which is proven to add power and torque on a budget.

[@MartinFracker]

Love the H-Pipe. But I also find that I really dig the exhaust note with the resonator. It sounds SO clean.

[@grayghost1423]

I guess if HP is your goal, it's worth it. I'm not going to race or track the car.

[@user-cj7dv2kc6d]

I like the stock sounds with resonator better... at least on the video. Maybe in person its different. But guess the extra bit of torque makes the mod worth the exercise if you have the desire.

[@markpritchard3099]

just a bit of info on your jacking point, I have steeds jacking rails, simply unbolt 4 bolts hold rails in place and bolt back up, you can then jack car up anywhere along under the rails, initially designed for fox body race cars to stiffen up the body because apparently they suffered with a bit of flex , hope this is helpful 🙏

[@MidwestMotor]

Man, is it just me but the stock sounds maybe better than the aftermarket....??

[@Pepper-Jack]

Agreed!

[@tomsilon]

I have 2021 Mach 1 , I work at Ford Dealership, another customer bought a Mach 1 and had the H pipe installed before delivery. We put them side by side and the mechanics were split on which sounded better. The majority felt the slight difference wasn't worth cutting out resonator. Just my 2 cents.

[@SerendipitousProducts]

Odd because it’s a huge difference in sound especially at high rpm like 6500 to 7000. The resonator was the first thing I removed for my Steeda Hpipe. Even with OEM mufflers it was huge difference in sound.

[@OEMPlus]

@@SerendipitousProducts does it drone?

[@SerendipitousProducts]

@@OEMPlus no. With the oem and hpipe it’s was very nice even at highway speed it’s barely noticeable till you step into it. With the Steeda aggressive time it’s loud even at idle then when you are wot it’s extremely loud. But again it’s sounded fine just cruising deep sound not crazy.

[@grayghost1423]

I agree. The car sounds awsome. I resonator has no restriction in it.

[@169abr]

Love the H pipe sound and the big tips the Mach gets.

[@TIMOTHYKni]

That does sound good. Wanted a Mach 1, but couldn't wait. Got a 21 twister orange gt with active exhaust, magnaride, 401a, performance pack, and manual. Had a muffler shop build me an h-pipe and I think it sounds amazing

[@draco2xx]

one thing for certain mach 1 is not mass produced like the gt which is what some like, has lots of resell value

[@TIMOTHYKni]

@@draco2xx i agree

[@5ringsbarbell51]

very nice comparison and yeah I don't know why everyone else doesn't do it this way. Much easier to appreciate the added low tones. I've already got an h pipe sitting at the dealership where it will deliver to get put on before I even pick it up, knew I wanted that sound and torque right out of the gate. Really diggin these videos, its helping kill the time till Nov lol

[@teddyg4873]

Ha! I waiting for my November baby as well. Gonna use my X pipe I took off of my 2016. Ford needs to stop changing my date.

[@draco2xx]

@@Wantedx9 yea it is, mach 1 with the fjg is the primary image of the mach 1. if its not that color, you wont kno its a mach 1. i get what youre saying

[@Japplesnap]

I'm a little skeptical on that torque increase. I mean, those guys are selling their H-pipe, so I'm not convinced that it's accurate. Seems like too much torque gain for such a basic modification.

[@truckandroll989]

I see what you mean. But the way it tapers off seems to make sense. It is also possible that maybe on their first pull they rolled into the throttle. I believe older generations came with an h pipe stock. I wonder why ford got away from it

[@Japplesnap]

@@truckandroll989 Yeah, back in the Foxbody days, the most popular exhaust mod was Flowmasters with an off-road H-pipe. Those cars sounded great like that.

[@taxstampinsurrectionist]

So, I have Steeda's X-pipe. I really don't know a lot about the gains... BUT... The sound is absolutely without a doubt my favorite change to my '22 Mach 1!!! THE BURBLES!!!!! For instance... easy acceleration in 3rd (man pedal) about half throttle up to 35ish mph and roll out of the throttle and those burbles sound off. With just the addition of an x-pipe (everything is drivetrain is completely stock) this is the best sounding V8 I have ever owned. It was a waste to purchase the BO sound system because the music from that active exhaust in track mode is one the the best parts of this vehicle!!!!!

[@truckandroll989]

I agree these cars IMO sound perfect from the factory. One of the main reasons I left my exhaust stock downstream of my twin turbos. Eventually Id like to add electronic cutouts just so I have little to no back pressure but otherwise absolutely perfect as a daily

[@Murkman_D]

On my 2020 csgt I went through to exhaust setups a custom one with xpipe from a local shop and then a borla atak catback and that thing sounded amazing.. but my new 2022 mach1 with this adaptive exhaust sounds ridiculous stock. Thinking bout an xpipe and just a axel back setup. Idk though. It sounds perfect in track mode.

[@truckandroll989]

To be honest the change in resonator delete is kind of minimal but i promise for the price you wont be disappointed. It adds a bit to the overall sound without droning or other negatives plus you save some weight down low.

[@nickkostakis9600]

I’m thinking of poutine an X pipe on my 2019 Mustang .And you make it easy with your very informative video thank you very much

[@julianc2789]

Install jacking rails if they are available for the Mach 1, Steeda probably has them. Then you can lift anywhere along the rails on each side!

[@cavscout62]

Sounds so much better it’s ridiculous!

[@truckandroll989]

Honestly the muffler setup from the factory is glorious. Check out my latest video of me racing my wife and the camera from inside her car when shes chasing me sounds fantastic. I used to not like how the 5.0s sounded but as long as you dont make them too loud I think they are Ok.

[@loupoi5677]

Very cool. I also added a Roush Hpipe to my Mach 1. Great Sound! 👍

[@barryklinedinst6233]

Thats a beautiful car. I called our dealer about the 2023 Mach 1. I want one

[@JCTiggs1]

I think you should do a POV drive with the h-pipe for your next video 😎

[@mtnbikerva1]

[@nissanbrown6144]

I deleted my resonator and did custom pipes and i took airflow restriction out cold air intake to gain back my 10hp loss on my 2022 mach 1 10 speed auto.

[@GARYWEBB-e8p]

What I want to know is how to replace the headlight bulb because there is no opening or nothing so I guess you have to buy the whole headlight assy when one goes out how dumb is that? Maybe you can advise us new owners. Thanks

[@stevekai6550]

Great Videos! Thank you so much. How does the Mach 1 compare to your ZL1 in terms of feel, driving fun and overall satisfaction? You really seem to enjoy your Mach 1. I always thought the the ZL1 is in another League!? Way better, faster and more fun to drive. What do you think? Would really be interested in your opinion…. kind of like buying advice if you‘re not decided between the two. Thanks again!

[@truckandroll989]

Two very different cars. Biggest selling point for ZL1 is torque everywhere anytime. Beyond that maybe also superior steering feel but Mach is better on track, more comfortable, more modern feel inside. Its a car you could drive more often for sure

[@brightenupcc]

Great video mate! Would love to hear the pops and bangs if you get a chance to include in a future update. Cheers!

[@truckandroll989]

To be honest it doesnt pop and bang that much. Now with the turbos I get a little bit if I do a pull, let off, and the wastegates dump. All and all a pretty tame exhaust. Older i get the more I want to be seen more but heard less

[@SerendipitousProducts]

You need the Steeda low profile full length jacking rails. Will salve all those issues for jacking.

As someone who's ran x-pipes on my German car, I thought I made the hard decision to go with the H-pipe on my Mach 1.....and then I came across the double H pipe. And now, I'm going t to spend $640.

[@thebritish910]

Beautiful car good sir. Thanks for the video. How much do you think it would be to have shop install an H pipe? Would the performance gains apply to a standard GT too? Cheers!

[@truckandroll989]

Yea performance should be the same on any 2018+ GT. X pipe is where you will really see solid gains across the rpm range. Id expect a shop to charge 2hrs labor. So under $250

[@leviefrauim1425]

Sounds great with and without resonator! I can't choose!

[@dannyfeinberg3579]

[@sicsempertyrannis3251]

Where are the Active Exhaust Valve Modules located? Just wondered you can upgrade exhaust and keep the factory Active Exaust?

[@truckandroll989]

They are back at the mufflers in the rear of the car. So you could do long tubes, mid pipes, even upstream cutouts, etc. and still retain functionality. The beauty of the resonator delete is its not obnoxious but gives you a meaner sound so you dont have to constsntly drive around in Track mode if you wanted to hear it growl

[@tomsilon]

Althouth, I didn't drive his to see if it had more pull ( due to more torgue)

[@picodegallo1959]

sweet video. Would the same hold true for the GT?? Especially, since both the GT and Mach 1 have TONS of HP already, I'd love to have more torque. HP sells cars, torque wins races. hahaha! Thanks!

[@truckandroll989]

Yea since its seemingly adding low end torque it should apply to any variation of the 5.0

[@John-xd2xj]

Looking at 2022 Mach 1 and new color combos. BUT - 470hp versus 480hp in the 2021. A valid reason not to order and buy a ‘22??

[@truckandroll989]

Yea im sure they are saying it is for emissions but I bet when they release the S650 Mustang it will have 480hp in the GT. That way they can say it is a 30hp bump (GT gets derated to 450hp for 2022). I wouldn’t let it deter you. Youll never notice 10hp in the seat of your pants
