Default Mac quality vs. Flowmaster quality

For those that have had both or either one, which one tends to have the better quality? Eventually I want to pick up a daily driver older GT stang (94-99) and put either the Flows or Mac catback on it. Are they about the same in quality about rusting or leaking? Just wondering. Vote for which you think has the better quality catback.

Edit: Also, I wanna consider the fitment under the car and how each are about that as well.

mac isn't stainless - it's coated, but not stainless (there is a difference).

Depends on what you buy, my Mac exhaust is stainless, and it's quality is very good. You get what you pay for. However, being that I've never had Flowmaster, I can't compare and can't vote.

I have flowmasters on my car for the last 7 years and I like them, I did read that they rust out from the inside though but no probles here.
