I would stay away from Mac or any shorty that has an individual flange for each tube. The longtubes are different because they will flex a bit.

I put a set of old bbk headers with the individual flanges on a motor not even in the car and they were a bit of a pain to get to line up. No biggie but, something to look at. If i did happen upon a deal on the p headers that mac made for a good deal, I would still buy them.

I would suggest going with the BBK headers, i run them on my 95 gt, i dont have any complaints for em. A noticeable power increase, to say the least. I just dont know what it is about the 94-95 GT's, good parts dont exist.(lol)

any vehicle prior to 96 doesnt have to pass emissions. so i dont see why theyd be an issue.
