Ya I am going to order them later on tonight. Thanks for all the help.

I've seen the MAC LT's on our car with MAC high flow cats (Excepcion13's car) and it is pretty sweet. Honestly, unless you are going turbo (you will need to go shorties if you go this route) then I would go LT's. They have more HP gain, flow better and will really open the car up when you spray.

RE: Short tube or Long Tube Headers

So if I went Long tube I would have the buy the mac's, then the pro-chamber, and high flow cats. Where can I find the high flow cats?

Ok, get a stangnet account, and PM Lsredy2kstang. He is a MAC distributor and gives great prices. You don't have to go prochamber, its optional so that is up to you. But he can hook you up with everything! He also has a sick 6 on juice. He knows cars and is reputable, pluse he is a mod on stangnet. Just ask him what he thinks, LT's or ST's. Personally I read the ST's just dont show any real gain unless you are preparing for turbo.

supercharging should not be a problem with the lt's because turb actually uses the exhaust so it has to fit on the manifold/header, but a supercharger doesnt need to come into any contact with the headers, so it shouldnt matter.

Yep, and just to confirm, my shop said LT's were not an issue with SC.
