MAC axel-back?
I'm looking for a new exhaust system for my '06 GT. My my beloved exhaust guy was pushing me towards IMCO muffers. but I think it will just sound like a flowmaster and I definitely dont like how those sound on the 05-07's. Then I was looking through the forums and exhaust clips and I'm REALLY liking the sound of the MAC axel-backs. But I keep hearing of this major drone or resonance at 1700-2000rpm. If anyone has MAC's let me know how the drone affects you. and if you have an auto or a manual. I can see why drone in an auto would be torture because it holds the low rpms during normal accel. Since i have the manual i dont think it will be that bad. Anyway if anyone wants to give some input it would be much apreciated [sm=burnout.gif]

RE: MAC axel-back?
I also have the MAC's and I love them! The drone was only annoying the week or so. Now I dont really notice it and really love the sound! It was exactly what I was looking for! I think the x pipes make it sounds a little raspier and I didn't really like that combination. I basically made my decision based on the sound clips on brenspeed.com. You should check those out and listen to them a few times.
Another nice thing about the MACs is that thet are polished stainless steel and will always look good and probably out live the car. When I was looking there were a lot of post about the flow masters and that people were having problems with internal baffles breaking loose and rattling.
The MAC's also have nice big 4" tail pipes that look really nice on the Mustang.
Trust me, unless you're looking for that extremely loud exhaust note, go with the MAC's. You'll love 'em!

I have the Mac's and the drone isn't that bad and you get use to it real quick or atleast I did. I love the sound of them. I've had them on the car for about 6,000 miles and no problem and they still shine up when washed...

I would not have called it "major drone" there was a drone but it was not out of hand. I say "was" a drone because once the X was added the drone went bye bye. Look, quality etc were/is top notch!
