Hello, I'm a new member from Fleming Island, FL. I just purchased a 2004 MM in DTR last Friday. I'm still learning about the car but it has 40k miles, charcoal interior, sunroof, spoiler, heated seats, traction control, and a CD changer. A few Mods I've found are; K&N CAI, Steeda pulleys, QTP electric exhaust cutouts, H-pipe, 4.10 Ford Racing gears, and HID headlights. I started researching the MM on this site before I bought it and found a wealth of information. Looking forward to joining this family of MM enthusiasts! Oh yeah I need a set of OEM wheels if anyone has an extra set for sale. The guy who owned it before me thought a set of 20" Vossen wheels looked good on it. :(

Congrats and welcome to your new addiction. I have TWO 2004's and one is bone stock. One has LOTS of mods. The mods with the biggest benefit are gears, a tuner, and exhaust work. An underdrive pulley and cold air intake make small changes but control arms gave me the BIGGEST change in driving feel.

Welcome and congrats! Car has H pipe already, steeda UD pulleys are not worth anything performance wise. You would need a tune to up the idle, but you;ll need a tune for 4.10 gear swap anyway. HID headlights, gotta make your own, there are not aftermarket ones available for this car.

I was attending a Trilogy install party with Carfixer and the recipient had the Steeda pulley already. We needed a stock one so I "donated" mine and got my UDP that way. I used my programmer to add about 300RPM to the idle. It revs faster but my 4.10's get me there, too. Life is good.

And you'll have to remove them when you seek boost

Welcome! There is another guy from Jacksonville, not sure if he sold his trilogy marauder already. He goes in this forum as "STEPS", great guy. Anyways, let me know if you are planning to do a ride to one of the meets close to Miami so I can join up with you somewhere in Daytona. Congrats again!

I looked at that car, it was terribly dirty under the hood...no way it only had 40k miles. Good luck with it!
