I have whatever the 40th annv came with. And I spoke to the "guy" again, and he said if I install a Mac H pipe then I will have to drop the tranny. Is that true?

Go buy a gun and shoot that mutherf*cker. You DO NOT have to drop the tranny to install ANY midpipe, or headers for that matter. Please go shoot him for giving out wrong information to you and whoever else he talks to.

I wouldn't take my car to him then.

Good luck on finding a MAC catback, they are probably on backorder.

Hey everybody, I heard you have to drop the rear axle to replace the front sway bar. Is this true?

Don't forget to drain your blinker fluid and replace the muffler bearings while your at it......

OP, like HOSS said, look for some on craigslist or ebay. Otherwise you will probably be waiting for a little bit. I waited almost 2 months for mine.
