RE: mac vs. flowmaster

I've heard acouple of v6's with exhuast, none sounding like mine, I guess I have regular MAC "shorties" I think it sounds alright. So what is CATS? The catalyictic converter or what? Doesnt taking that off like make it illegal, I know this one guy at my work took them off, but doesnt it like not let you pass inspection? How much does taking them off cost, my friend said the guy that took his off told him to either give him like $135 for a new converter or just give him $40 and he'll take them off.

alright here it goes...i am on my second and last exhaust....my first setup was longtubes h pipe and mac flowpaths (dumps) and the second was the same but flowmaster 40's. FLOWMASTERS make a world of difference
MAC...when i got them installed i almost cried...the sound sucked...2 weeks later they broke in and everyone love it until i reved past 3000...total rice. when i cranked the car it sounded like a 5.0 but not for long..you can definitely tell they are made cheap too...after only 2 months they already have rust all over them...no tone...too much drone and vibration (thought because of dumps)
Flowmaster 40's...whoa...i cranked it up an instantly loved it....between 3000-3500 they sound a little raspy but not like rice...when i crank the car it sounds amazing almost like i have cams...the interior drone isnt half as bad and there is little vibration whatsoever...they actually have a sound instead of a buzzing...sounds more like a muscle car then a honda civic
in the end my vote and everyone elses vote is for flowmasters...i have gotten compliments at lights and by almost everyone and i have only had them for 2 days..si if anyone is debating on mufflers take it from me...flowmaster sounds so much better than mac
