Get the catted or o/r (if you dont have emissions) Mac Prochamber. The PC flows better than a H and gives it even deeper sound. I have o/r mac pc coupled with the steeda catback (made by borla) which isnt as loud as stingers, but its the step below. When I get on it, you know, but its not obnoxious (like SLPs). And there is 0% raspiness. None, just deep, pure muscle sound! My friends keep commenting I have one of the best sounding theyve heard in a long time

So u guys would go with the MAC H? how much does it outflow the stocker? With an X pipe you get like 10hp right? so how much with the H? How is the quality, im not that big a fan of my MAC CAI.....................in the X dept, i like the SLP because of the modular desing so i can use it with LT headers, you guys dont like the SLP?...PS i have emmisions so Cats are a must

The SLP X is great, but it only really fits with SLP products (ie SLP Headers are most likely a must from the research Ive done, otherwise alignment and fitment is not going to match up correctly)

If you are going with the H, definitely go MAC, Ive heard good things about their H pipes, whether its the prochamber or a regular catted H.

As far as the HP between the X and the H, its about the same. X is "suppose" to flow better, but the gains are pretty much the same, so don't let that be a factor in deciding.

All the gains in hp and tq are all within 2-3 of each other. Any pipe will outflow stock, its all about what kind of sound you want. X's are generally more rasp, and slightly more HP, Hs are more deep, and slightly more torque

not bbk [:'(]
Dunno why bbk has such a bad rap. I don't have a catted one, but my exhaust seems to lack the sounds that everyone atributes to a BBK X. I dunno if the catted pipe makes that much of a difference?

I have had nothing but compliments to how my car sounds, both in person and on the net.

Would it fit up with the Borla Catback? When / IF i do LT's it would prob be SLP anyway cause i have an auto and BBK's dont fit so my only choice are MAC's or SLP
