Default Planned Exhaust--feedback

I think I'm going to go Mac LT, Mac O/R Prochamber and Boomtubes. What do you guys think? Looking for some HP gain and have a refined low & deep rumble. Trying to avoid raspy sounding or any ratteling.

This set up is going to be very loud isn't it? I want pretty loud but I just hope it isn't obnoxiously loud.

that should sound great. of all the o/r midpipes, prochamber is probly the most pleasing and less obnoxious than x or h. i would suggest the ceramic coating on the LT's to help w/ heat and help them looking good longer. i would expect somewhere around 15 rwhp increase maybe more. but the sound will be worth it IMO. it will be loud at WOT, but not too loud just cruizing. this is one of my favorite setups for a loud, low rumble.

The MAC headers has 1 3/4" primaries, you better be FI to get the most out of it.

Otherwise, look for something else with 1 5/8" Kooks and ARH are the best.

1 5/8" will give you nice gains with FI also, but not the other way around!

I am planning on getting a Whipple after the summer.

I'm just hoping this set up doesn't get me in too much trouble [8D]
