RE: MAC muffler install impressions - UPDATED
Intense!!!
I've had my MACs on for about a year now and with my automatic they do drone at certain RPMs...
But the sound is "without a doubt" a killer sound which could wake up the dead...
The interior noise is high. I tried sound proofing the trunk but it did not help much...
All I know is that "I know when my car is running" and so does everyone else... (Ha-Ha)

I just fixed mine last night. The clamps from MAC are horrible and neither was lining up. I took the clamps from the factory mufflers, slid the MAC's up to the nipple, tightened the Ford clamps and now they line up perfect.

I think I need to sound proof my ears, I actually got a headache after driving it today, this will take some getting used to!
The car has a different feel to it now as well, time to get that CAI installed! Need time and weather!

Yeah, had a problem lining mine up as well. Man does it sound good though. I've heard people say that an O/R pipe reduces the drone. I don't know since I put mine on at the same time. But, what may sound good to me may sound like crap to the next person. I have a video of it on this forum as I'm sure many of you have heard....
