I would go with the Flowmaster american thunder. But if you have flows, why does your buddy want to ask us, not you?

Man I have the mac pro dumps, and let me tell you, best exhaust investment ive ever made! Sound sooooo bad ***, not to mention are $200 for the whole catback and have a black powdercoat finish. These things scream! Wish i had an exhaust clip for ya. And i have an 89 gt with BBK equal length headers and an off road h pipe.

Those MAC dumps don't take away too much backpressure do they? I've got a straight piped (2.25 inch) cat back right now and I need my back pressure back. I'm seriously looking into them to finish up my exhaust.

I've got bbk shorties with an o/r H and MAC mufflers and it sounds badass. The flows and MACs sound similar, but the MACs just sound a little bit different to me and I love them.

you wont need back pressure as soon as you do your gears

also i have heard the MAC are louder then the flows IMO i dont like flows thats why i went with dynomax ultra flows

yeah you do...i drove one of my cars home w/ open headers 1 night, cuz some parts were missing for the exhaust after i did a clutch in it.

it was AMAZINGLY slow....and it had 4.10's .....stockish 5.0's need backpressure to run good.
