i found a couple of vids. The second site has two clips and the one on the right really shows the difference between idle and rev. In fact the difference is a little exaggerated IMO from the way mine sounds. Oh, and Corsas web site has some clips too.

Dammit Bretstang....You gotta go and post those and make my decision harder to figure out. Actually after that, and some thinking about further plans, I believe I might go with the MACs, plus I'm a college student so cash is kinda tight, and the MACs fit the budget a lil better. I plan on at some point going with an o/r midpipe, and I think the Borlas with a o/r midpipe would be too loud for me, but the MACs would probably be just right with something along the lines of an o/r prochamber, or h-pipe. Thanks for the clips, definately a nice stang you got there lol!

Hey Tex, before you go out and purchase a brand new set of MACs, how about considering buying mine. I'll give you a fair price. I only have 2k miles on mine. If Loud is what you want, and you don't mind the Drone, then these are for you! I think I'm going to switch to Borlas.

Correct me if I'm wrong but If I want to go with an all around low sound but loud when I gun it(obviously)...I should go for the Corsa's???

jmart do you have anyother mods on your car? I wonder why your gas mileage is so low.

No other mods. However, UPDATE: I just finished installing some sound-deadening material in the trunk area and I took the stang out for a run to see if there was any change. A slight improvement. Still some drone at 1800-2000 RPM, but not unbearable as was before, and suprisingly, I noticed my gas mileage improving. I think the reason why my gas mileage was down since the aftermarket muffler install was not due to my "lead foot" I was accused of having, but due to my gear shifting change in style to compensate for the Drone (i.e. down shifting into 4th at 2k RPM/60 MPH, when normally I would be in 5th). I think I'll keep the MACs after all!

I do the exact same thing now that I have the BOrlas. I upshift later and down shift sooner to avoid the drone. I have seen my MPG go down aswell.
