Default Boomtubes installed...

I received a set of MAC Boomtubes as a birthday present and swapped out the FRPP Borlas last night between rain showers. I was originally going to use the stock clamps, but went with the one's provided in the kit. Had a hard time getting the stock clamps over the new pipes. Started it up and, wow, pretty impressive. It definitely has a throatier tone to it. The passenger pipe hung lower that the drivers-side, which drove me crazy.

Went to Midas this morning, and they tightened the clamps and readjusted the tips. They inserted a piece of rubber within the hangar bracket to raise the tips. Total charge was $5.00, I gave him a $15 tip. It was worth it to me.

I'm very impressed witht the boomtubes, highly recommended if you're looking for an axleback system!

An o/r h + boomtubes means trumpet city from what I hear. So I hope you like jazz music.

The Borlas were great, but these are very different, they sound more agressive with a throatier tone. I REALLY like the sound, can't wait to drive home tonight.

Yeah, don't think I'll be going that route. I like what I have.

Congrats! The only bad thing I've heard about Boomtubes is that they mellow out over time and that some people compare the sound to a dump truck. But, if you like it, who cares.

I've had them for over a year now and the last thing I think they sound like would be a diesel.
