MAC A/B ?'s
Hey guys,
Curious about the MAC axlebacks....From the people that have them, they love them (which of course no one is gonna say i hate my exhaust). The price is right too....But I have a few questions about them....number one being, how do they compare in loudness to the stock muffs, and loudness to other aftermarket muffs? I believe this summer will be the time to buy muffs, and I'm still looking around. How do the MACs on the 3v compare to MACs on a 2v? Do they sound similiar, or way different? And....just kinda more of a statement, but if I buy them, and they aren't loud enough, I'd prolly go with an o/r prochamber....any opinions on this combination?
Thanks in advance,
Cory

RE: MAC A/B ?'s
I've heard plenty of people sound off when they don't like their exhaust. However, I am not one of them. I love my Mac's. I don't have a direct comparison on just the A/B's though, since I put the h pipe on at the same time. I LOVE the sound of my exhuast. Check my threads, I have some video clips out there. One is driving the car at partial throttle and the others are track videos.

RE: MAC A/B ?'s
Thanks for the quick reply....how do you like the pypes o/r h?? I've heard on some cars with certain exhaust that it has a raspy sound to it? I was considering that o/r h, cause its really cheap... Anyways thanks again

RE: MAC A/B ?'s
No problem. I love the sound. No raspy sounds at all. Some say that the pypes h pipe reduces some of the drone of the mac's. Again, I have no before/after comparisons that I can share. Check my videos to get an idea of what it sounds like. The videos are pretty close to the actual sound.....Hope it helps

RE: MAC A/B ?'s
Buy the macs ..I looked at post here for over a month when I was looking for AB's and damn near drove myself crazy with soundclips and stuff ..I said **** it and orderd the macs and do they ever sound great ...They do drone under heavy pedal around 1800rpms but sound just bad *** going through the gears . I also think they get louder the more miles you put on them ...nice deep tone ...american muscle ...pure and simple .. One of my next mods will be 4.10s and I think these will take care of any drone around 55mph ..oh and the 4" rolled tips look bad ***

RE: MAC A/B ?'s
Hey bushbanger,
How much louder were the MAC's than the stock muffs? Thats what I'm trying to find out mainly. I don't want to swap exhaust and there not be that much of a difference in loudness. I heard MAC flowpaths on a 2v, and they sounded reallllllllll good. Not sure what else was on it, but it was just right. Nice bub bubuububb sound at an idle, and with just a lil bit of gas, it started coming to life. And I have to agree, the tips look nice....well heck the whole muff looks nice!

RE: MAC A/B ?'s
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.
