Default mac or BBK h-pipe?

i have a 94 mustang GT and im about to pick up an O/R h-pipe. I have it pretty much narrowed down to the Mac and the BBK pipes. Is there any difference in the quality of these two? or does anyone have any sound preferences? thanks for the help...

I have the MAC off road H and i like it a lot. Do you have headers? I have MAC shortys and an off road H i was going to consider selling so i could buy long tubes for my engine swap. Think you might be interested?

I have bbk equal length shorties running to a 2 1/2" mac offroad H pipe going to 2 1/2 " magnaflows, Sounds badass IMO. Awesome deep growl. Fits perfect in my fox anyhow.

I have Mac equal length shorties, Mac H-pipe, Mac catback system 2.5 inch. Sounds good but wish it was louder. I'll be switching to single chamber muffler dump before rear axle soon.

Well that's a little harsh... sorry we don't have 50 grand to pay for a Carroll Shelby sound. Got any recommendations for us poorer folk, the "do-it-yourselfers" if you will?? or do you just know how to fork out money instead of information?

with a name like that, I wouldnt stir up stuff around here in tech...

BBK and MAC are noted for good quality and affordability... there are several members here with 11 second cars that have those so called "low quality" pipes underneath them
