2003 Mercury Marauder Exhaust Install - Finding Grunt

Mercury's Short-Lived '03-'04 Marauder Has Lots Of Potential And We Unlock It With Exhaust And TuningToday there are all kinds of options when it comes to upgrading the performance of your car. Two of the most common, it seems, are a cold-air intake and an aftermarket exhaust. Granted, a lot of Fords in recent years have benefited from reasonably efficient factory pipe and muffler systems, but there's always room for improvement. Take the case of the late and lamented Mercury Marauder. Spun off the evergreen Grand Marquis fullsize sled, the Marauder was a proper-sized muscle car, the likes of which hadn't been seen since 1970. A lot was promised initially, including a supercharged Two-Valve 4.6 engine, and even a concept two-door convertible was built. As this car emerged, it was powered by a version of the '03 Mustang Mach 1 engine that, while exotic for a muscle car, didn't have the low-end oomph to get one of these near-4,200-pound beasts moving off the line at a torrid pace.
