the mac's sounds pretty good

 

[Adam95GT]

really.... because thoes 3.5 inch tips look mean... i think the flows have 2.5's

 

[Adam95GT]

both macs have the same part # lol anyone have clips of macs and flowmaster 40's on a catted H???

I like my Mac system, it sounds like it wants to rape something, but that could be because of my raspier-sounding x-pipe. I don't like that it drones ALOT, but I got used to it.

 

[Adam95GT]

hmmm does it all come down to sound or am i going to see any gains considering i have headers and an H pipe already...

 

[1TallMF]

mainly sound. You won't feel much difference in performance

 

[Adam95GT]

then im not sure i wanna drop $300 when i could just keep the stockc catback on then

you could always just change the mufflers if you don't want to lay down on an entire catback.

the H pipe and headers are the biggest restriction on the exhaust, so though you may pick up 3-5hp, you won't feel it.

It's more a matter of auditory aesthetics.

People will keep telling you to do gears until you finally do them

what mac system do you have, and is your xpipe catted or o/r?

 

[95yellowGTS]

so don't drop 300 on a catback....just go to the muffler shop and have them replace your mufflers with straight pipe. then weld on some 3 inch stainless tips. that's what i did, it only cost me like $100 total and it sounded MEAN

I don't know if you have ever been shown donjohn's exhaust page, but it is a pretty good database of the sound of most every system available. check it out, might help make up your mind:

i dont think anything screams more white trash then 2-1/4 or 2-1/2 then it flares out to 3 or 3-1/2 nice ricer car...lol what size exaust is that well its 1-7/8 but its got a 5" muffler!!!!!!!

 

[chaos254]

have u actually seen 3.5" on a mustang? They fit the car perfectly. But then again I am just a white trash ricer....

never loads for me...

Its catted, and the car is still obnoxiously loud, but thats how I like it.
My Mac system is a few years old (and rusting), but I thought the mufflers were all the same. Mine is non-stainless except for the tailpipes, and is essentially like the second one in the list (TK9495). I'd highly, highly recommend getting a fully stainless system if it is at all possible with the budget.

 

[trav_19]

i just hate when you stand off to the side and can see it flare out like a inch bigger

 

[red95gtconvert]

Just go the cheap route like I did and have some mufflers welded in. My system consists of stock headers, Mac offroad H and some muffler shop turbo mufflers and it sounds amazing. It cost me about 100 bucks for the mufflers and to have them welded in.

 

[Adam95GT]

might as well just order a set... considering that i already have headers annd an h pipe i kinda just want to finish it off and be done with the exhaust you know.... im thinking about the flowmaster set up... i offereed up to 245 on the mac set up and got declined... i really dont wanna pay more then 300 shipped.... because i wanna pick up a shift boot and a nice knob....

In all honesty I really don't think a cat back does anything rwhp for our cars. The mufflers yes but even them only 3-5 rw best. Save your money.
