I wasn't referring to my '05. I have installed on an '82, '85 and 93. Two thumbs up on all 3 installs IMO.

Are you talking about long tube headers? Its not just be with bad experience... trust me! Also, their "HTS" coating is the worst! My headers look like they are 100 years old after 600 miles! Everything burnt off already and they look like hell. Dont get me wrong, I love the sound but I would have to disagree on the quality of their products. The only thing that I liked from MAC is their ProChamber. Also, im sure the fitment is different beteween your 05+ Stang and a fox body.

RE: MAC Exhaust
i got mac lt headers and a prochamber... as far as fitment the prochamber slide in great... the lt headers area b&tch.... no room in my lil sn95 engine bay... waiting on o2 extenders then ill get some sound clips up here... and the godo thing is when i was doin the install i noticed i had flowmasters on there lol... so i got a few exhuast setup i guess
the long tubes real don't offer any more horsepower on most of your mild set ups....

RE: MAC Exhaust
I bought the MAC catback, installed it no problem. The next year I bought the MAC Hpipe catless. Just a bit of adjustment. Dont remeber who said it but, hang the system without tightening then align everything then tighten. The sound is pretty loud, some days I like it some days I wish they had a smoother sound.
Anyway, fit, finish,sound and cost, MAC has my vote

RE: MAC Exhaust
I have heard that their catback, h pipe is OK to install but their their LT's are a HUGE PITA. Dont get me wrong, I had them on my 88 along with a MAC Pro-Chamber and American thunders, they sounded great. But fitment and quality wise, two thumbs down IMO! [sm=smiley21.gif][sm=smiley21.gif]

RE: MAC Exhaust
I have there Long Tubes, they sit a little low but the install wasn't bad. Hoisted up the front of the engine and in they went. I think I may have took the hood off too.
+1 on there coatings, they suck. They have a newer coating, don't remember what it is called, but it is supposed to be better than what was on there...
