I have the mac catback just like the one you linked and i love the sound of it. Exhaust is something that is different for everyone, i love the way the mac sounds but the next guy that posts might think it sounds like crap and will say Borla, it's all preference, just go through youtube with some setups and see which one you like best.

I'm still using the stock h with my mac, gonna change soon though since i ordered the MRT catted h, should hopefully be here soon. Cat backs alone sound so much better/louder than stock you'll definitely get a sound difference regardless of the setup you go with. Aftermarket midpipe will wake it up even more and give a very slight power bump.

Just youtube MAC mustang and you'll have more clips than you know what to do with. mustangmancp used to have the MRT catted h and flowmasters and it sounded pretty good. But wrr doesnt have his midpipe yet. So just youtube it. If youre going with an x pipe, i'd suggest the SSS. MAC exhaust will probably be really raspy if you end up going o/r with your midpipe. I know my flowmasters(which are chambered just like MAC's) were pretty raspy with the o/r x pipe.

I don't but heres a few vids i got off youtube. First one is just the mac catback with the stock h and stock headers. Second video is the same mac catback but this time with an off road h and still with stock headers. Sounds a lot louder and meaner compared to just the catback. Third video is the same guy as the first but this time with an off road x pipe on their. Just research different companies and browse youtube all night and decide which one you think is best. Like i said before its all preference as to who likes what.

Go with SSS...you will not be sorry. I started with the Adrenalines, and then went on to the Terminators. The quality and fitment are among the very best (think Borla and Bassani) but at half the cost. The sound is incredible IMO.

I have a few clips if you're interested.
