RE: MAC A/B ?'s
You will definitely like the MAC's when you put them on, also a very easy self install. I had MAC cat backs on my '87 GT and used to start my car every morning with the door open just to hear that rumble. It was the first mod I did on my '06 and I luv the sound. I get compliments all of the time and at wide open throttle, especially now that I have the JLT II/XCAL2 combo you will be noticed. The MAC's are louder than stock and have that nice rumble with a muscle car sound. You won't be disappointed, that and they look very cool from the rear to the cars you just flew by.

Its funny you mention MACs' because I was driving down the interstate today and someone made a point for me to roll down my windows and ask me what mufflers I was running. Yeah they rock but their not for wimps. They are louder than flowmasters and they look great tucked underneath , not like the stock mufflers that look like some junky caddliac from the behind.

I love the tone.
I did get some better clamps, u-clamps, from my local exhaust shop for $8, much better than the macs clamps, but the mufflers are quality!
After hearing teh pipes-offroad pipe I think I am fixing to order one

RE: MAC A/B ?'s
Well I guess its MAC's for me. I really have been going crazy over the exhaust trying to figure out what to put on it. I really do like the sound of MACs so I guess I'll be buying a set as soon as I get my door ding and scratch fixed (happened last week, car is only 3 months old...total crap), and have the money stashed away. Thanks for all the opinions, all you MAC owners finally posted in force lol. This was originally my choice for muffler, and then after changing my mind several times, I'm back to them again. Things are really hectic right now with graduation, so I can't even begin to get estimates on getting the door ding fixed, until like at least a week and a half from now, and then I'm gonna have to stash some cash away for the muffs, but I know I am gonna be anxious to get them....Thanks for the input

RE: MAC A/B ?'s
2k05gt: Did you put that chart together? If so, very nice. I have gone around the horn on which exhaust to buy. I originally wanted the MAC's, but then I was swayed by the Borlas, JBA's, etc. Please make it stop..............
Here's the question. How bad is the drone factor on the Mac's. I do a fair amount of hwy driving and if the drone is bad, I would be pissed that I just spent a bunch of cash to be annoyed all the time. Hell, that's my wifes job.[&:]
I'm a noobie on the exhaust scene. Price and where you got 'em would be great info as well.
I appreciate your help.
