    Install new exhaust & less than impressed

    Thanks for all the ideas. After comtemplating several set-ups, I think I'm going to install a Mac Cat-back since I hear that it sounds awesome when paired with a pro-chamber.

    Install new exhaust & less than impressed

    I recently installed a Mac O/R Pro-chamber & weld-in Flowmaster Super 40's on my 2001 GT.

I get compliments but have been more satisfied with set-ups on my previous...
