its a simple one. i heard that mac longtubes dont have to be removed when doing clutch, tranny work, etc. is this true? cuz it might help me make up my mind on headers since ive heard mac is pretty quality stuff these days.

I believe that you have to remove one side either way. (Can't exactly remember which side it is, the pass. I think.)

ive always thought the same way but yesterday i saw in a post that oxfordgt said mac was the only brand where the tranny would slide out with them in place

oxford does know his stuff. I cant remember because I threw in a centerforce clutch as one of the first things on my car, So I didnt have to worry about it. Wait on somebody else, I'm sure somebody knows from EXP.

Yes I can drop my tranny with my mac longtubes still on. Its not the easiest thing but it can be done. Alot of twisting and wiggleing.

drop the tranny but can you get it back on? someone else said they could drop their tranny with LT's but couldnt get it back on with them

i see myselfneeding a new clutch in a few months is why i ask

oxfordgt

Yes I put my tranny back up with the longtubes still on. Its tricky but doable. Don't try to use a tranny jack it is worthless it has to be done by hand.

Since the manuals barely squeeze through, I take it automatics don't have a chance? This is why I was going to wait and geta converter in before LT's.
