    Erratic volume control on stock Mach460 Head

    My stock Mach460 has a odd issue with the volume control, frequently when I try to lower the volume it goes up. Sometimes it goes to nearly full volume and stays for a second or two before coming down even as I am turning the knob to lower the volume. Anybody else have this problem?

    TOB noise; stock shifter, then MGW, back to stock

    My 04 has 20,000 miles on it, I bought it new in Feb 05 and seeing as how the 3/36 will expire soon I have a couple things I want to get fixed under warranty. The car is stock with the exception of the 3" O/R Flowmaster midpipe and 3" Flowmaster exhaust, a K&N Fipk, and up until about two weeks...

    Who has installed the MRT Hood Strut Kit?

    MRT Hood Strut Kit

    Got the kit the other day and have some concerns about fitment. I haven't called MRT yet as I want to see what others have experienced with the install. The fender brackets appear to be just a little too big overall, and the lip that they bolt down to has a different contour than the bracket...
