RE: Stingers or Macs

Jmart---something sounds strange to me about your drop in mileage. I have seen no change in this area.

Nevermind, I see you think you have fixed it.....Good job!

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???

That would be my choice, however they are kinda pricey........around 582 is the cheapest I have seen them these days. Which is better than the 680 I paid for mine. Oh well I am very happy in my choice.

RE: Stingers or Macs

When I put my Mac's on my wife didn't notice. I did drive like I had an egg under my foot, but they aren't real loud and that is what I wanted. With my auto I don't get any drone. They look nice too and got them for $320 delivered.

They just bolt up. Ford made it easier on the new models.

RE: Stingers or Macs

I have had my MAC'a now for over 8 months and I love them, they have mellowed out a little, over time they get a deeper tone. since the 4.10 Gears, I got out of the zone where the drone is a problem. No Mileage drop due to muffler swap except I find myself stepping on it more to hear the sound. I lost about 1-2 mph due too the 4.10 gears. My Mileage is around 17-21

RE: Stingers or Macs

The MAC axle back install is an easy do it your self install. I had my stock exhaust off and the MAC's on in about 45 minutes and that was without even jacking up the rear end. I backed my stang up my driveway until the rear tires were at the edge of the slope. Had plenty of room to do the exhaust swap. And they do sound great......
