RE: for those with MAC midpipes
I had a Mac O/R H-pipe, there was decent size holes from the blind welder around the header flange.
I spent a good 20 minutes inspecting it and using dykem to mark all the spots I needed my exhaust shop to weld shut. It also took several re-tightenings to fix all the leaks. It took a good week to finally get rid of them all. For $130 bucks I can't complain though.

for a midpipe, seriously it doesnt matter what company. there is no way to screw a midpipe up. for the record, thats the one and only mac product ill ever have.

Mac is junk. There is a reason that it is so much cheaper than everything else.
BTW, there is no reason to switch from one midpipe to another just because you are putting that brand of LTs on. All of the shortie xs should be the same lenght.

You need a shorter mid-pipe for LT's anyways, Dan. [8D]
I feel like I'm talking to myself HAHA

RE: for those with MAC midpipes
ok so i won't get there mid pipe lol. what i really want to know though is what do you guys think about there headers? it either them or SLP that fit auto transmissions for automatic cars. SLP's are $720 or I can get MAC for $350. both ceramic coated. what do you guys recommend spend more than double the money or settle for the cheaper ones?

I had a Mac Catted H pipe before my setup now, I had it under the car for 6 months and cancer ate almost right through it. Stay away from all MAC products, the quaility is the worst IMO.

ok i have had my off road BBK x-pipe for about a year and a half and love it and it still looks brand new but i am getting some MAC longtubes and figured i would get a MAC mid pipe to match and most likely fit easier than another products since I am getting there headers. My question is what is the quality like for them? do they last like my bbk's have? also what is this pro-chamber i see. theres an off road one and catted one. I will be getting an off road pipe but is it better than say an off road x? i might still just go with a bbk x-pipe and just make them fit the MAC's but i dunno. i figure i would see what you guys thought about them and you could tell me since bbk is the only company i have had. thanks!
