If you dig the chambered sound, go with the Mac...

I was in the same dilemma as you were. I went ahead and ordered the MAC SS catback to compliment my Prochamber. Getting it installed on Weds, so I'll let you know how it sounds.

You could always get a different catback such as Magnaflow, SLP, Borla, Bassani and have either the Flowmaster or MAC muffler welded into the exhaust. I know it would be more expensive that way instead of just getting MAC... but MAC is a hit or miss. Some people have no fitment issues... others will be pulling their hair out cuz nothing fits. Everyone likes the sound... if only MAC's fitment was as good as their sound

i would suggest just having a local muffler shop make you a custom stainless flowmater setup. I know a guy that would do that for my car for roughly 4-500. Why do you want stainless though? There is nothing wrong with flowmasters alumanized system. It sounds great I have it on my car.

Mac and Flows are both chambered and sounda lot alike. If you like flows, chances are you'll probably also like Mac. And Mac does make a SS Cat Back.
