From what I have heard flowmasters don't sound too good with x-pipes. I have your same setup though, BBK shorties, Bassani catted x, and I have Magnaflow Magnapacks welded in before the axle like the Pypes M80 kit. This is my second setup, first I had them put in the magnapacks and some rolled tips, cost $375. Second was yesterday having them weld in the mid mufflers and tips. This cost me $250. If you want I can make a video for you with the new setup.

I'll always listen to an exhaust vid if offered, however, I don't like the sound of magnapacks or Pypes mid-muffler. They tend to sound kind of muffled and glasspack-ish.

I have recently been considering MAC mufflers. In every vid I've heard, I can't really compare them to flows.

This guy's setup is close to what I have, so mine should sound similar. Sounds really good!

Ok, well if you want to hear what it would sound like with glasspacks then I can make a video, I have the exact same setup before the mufflers as you.

Pretty good price. Only $20 more than what I paid. I remember LM selling them for more but I guess they're having a sale on them. If you're serious about getting them I'd suggest don't wait!

These look like a good buy provided the price stays low:

The sound of the MACs with an X-pipe almost sounds like MACs with a Prochamber. Pretty awesome! I love my MACs and have been relishing in their sound ever since I installed them last Tuesday. Get MACs or be whack. Hahaha

I got mine from TREPerformance.com for $332.02 w/free shipping. They ship fast. I got mine in 3 business days but that's because I live in Nor Cal and they're in So Cal.

Brenspeed has them for the same price too. But I love my Macs too they are soooo deep and powerful sounding. There is no sound clip that does the sound justice.
