Yep, same damn thing. My only concern with MAC exhaust may be that they do have a tendency to rust. MAC has taken nice strides to prevent major rust problems, but they have been known for rust issues.

Where do you hear this BS from? MACS were on my mustang for 6 years and showed no sign of rust...they were just really dirty..

Its actually something that a lot of people have heard about MACs and that a lot of people have experienced with them. That doesnt mean they all do, just a decent number of them. Some peoples are like yours, others rust out pretty quick.

Id say the forces, just cause they sound decent and are cheap.
