Mac Long tubes and headers
My buddy is selling his Mac long tubes and headers for 450 for an 01 cobra. I just wanted to know if its a good buy and if it will sound good with Bassani off road x and bassani cat back.

my 03 cobra does sita little low, i got to help it up in the front i little to get the arms under it. but still beats laying on your back, esp. at my age.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but you'll need a shorter midpipe if you go with l/t headers.

Just my 2 cents worth, but I wouldn't put Mac on my car if someone gave it to me for free. Do some research and you may find out it's risky to try Mac Long tube headers. I don't have time to go into it, but you can e-mail me if you wish, and I will elaborate. Again, just my 2 cents worth...........

RE: Mac Long tubes and headers
I'll elaborate....some people claimed to have problems with MAC LT headers fitting properly. Some dont have any problems. In short, MAC is adecent brand, but you get what you pay for. If they're coming off another cobra and fit that one, they should fit yours pretty well. I think that MAC catbacks sound OK. not the best by any means, but for the price, they arent bad.
As far as headers, I've heard the most good things about BBK. They are middle of the road. Good fitment and wont break the bank. If you have seroius cash, then get Kooks or something like that. If you dont want to spend too much but still want a decent part, go with MAC.
