Default MAC Longtubes?

Anyone have any experience running Mac longtubes on their S197? Any issues with installation (especially on an Auto)?

I am looking into getting Mac Longtubes and a Prochamber to go with my Pypes Mid Muffler System.I amwondering whether or not it is really worth it to throw down another $500 or so for Kooks or ARH. Kooks and ARH will probably give me a few more rwhp, but is the difference really worth the cost?

From what I understand, installation of just about any LT's are going to be about the same amount of time, so thats not really an issue.

If I do order the Mac's, will I need to order new gaskets, or does it come with them? Will I need the car tuned?

Thanks for the help guys.

KOOKS is expensive for a reason. ive seen them in action. they are the best, by far. get a kooks setup, you wont regret it.

Have you seen anything else in action as well? I have seen the Kooks in action, Shorties, and other long tubes. Im not sure there is enough there to justify the cost when compared to the Macs. I can score a set of Mac LT's and a prochamber for under $800 shipped. Kooks are about $500 more. I'm wondering everyone else's opinion on this.
