SCREW MAC LT'S! I dispise them to the fullest. They were such a PITA to install it was ridiculous. I will never buy anything from them again..... only the pro-chamber h pipe

MAC sux *****, they dont come with a single flange like BBK's, meaning that there a bear to line up to the heads, and when they warp and you take them off forget about ever putting them on anything else, so if you blow a gasket, your f'd, unless you give it some serious convincing to fit. JMO but i dont care for MAC products, BBK seems to be a step above.

The only reason I went with Mac instead of BBK, is that BBK don't make a LT for an automatic. That sucks... So far the Mac's have been cool.

ORIGINAL: 95hooptey

My MACs LTs rock.................no problem with them and they sound like AWESOME with the Magnaflows.............
Yes they do... Love it. Get compliments on the exhaust all the time... And it's not loud when cruising.

The coating they have isn't the greatest.

^^ I dont think "isnt the greatest" is a good enough description. I had my MAC LT's on my car for less than 600 MILES and they look like they are 10 years old! They are pathetic IMO and I was VERY unhappy with them. The sound was great, I really liked the tone that them/prochamber gave but it just wasnt worth it for the sh*tty quality and the PITA installation. I had to pull my motor 3/4 of the way out on a lift before I could get my headers off! Quality?? Psssshhh... Mac and quality shouldnt be able to be used in the same sentence!
