RE: Long Tube vs Shotry Headers
I would bet you gain "0" horsepower on the header switch

I recently switched from Sorties to L/T and I love them. Our motor is mildly built. I went with teh BBK Ceramic 1 5/8" primaries. I dont really notice any torque lost at low end but I notice more power up top. AS far as sound they are quiter at idle but are loud as hell when the car is opened up. The rest of our system is off-road H, and Flowmaster 40s (I belive).

the flanges on the MAC's are weak, not to mention the fitment issues.

Fitment issues, quality issues, etc. And their "coating" is the worst I have ever seen. My old MAC LT's only have like 600 miles on them and they LITERALLY look like they are 10 years old. Their prochamber is nice though, no complaints about that.... just their LT's.
