Default Mac LT headers and x pipe

Are MAC long tube headers and x pipes any good?
I want to put LT's on my car and will need another X pipe so I was looking at MAC stuff.
Is it any good?

Does it matter if the headers are regular or chrome? It doesnt really matter what they look like but I dont want them to rust thru.
One of the sellers on ebay says they have a 50k mile warranty and thats probably more than Ill ever drive my Mustang anyway.

mac products suck. the shorties i had warped and the finish lookd like ***

i put on bbk longtubes a few months ago and they still look like the day i put them on, no gasket leak, and the quality is very nice

i have heard more complaints about mac headers than good...i would look at bbk before mac.

and i use to have a mac catback on my old lx and that sounded good with a mac h pipe, that was years ago though........

flowtech's are pretty good.
mac stuff is all good OTHER than the headers. hpipes and catbacks are all good.
