There all pretty much good.. I don't know if any one is better then the other, cuz they all have the same purpose and have the same function.. I have a trick flow cover on mine.. I would have gottem the SVO one from Ford but it was pricey.. I paid $130 I believe for the TF cover

I've used the T/A (SVO) before, and I just picked up one from Strange for my new rear...they both look good to me, if anything I might like the Strange a little better because of the bolts it comes with (no biggie). Personally, I wouldn't buy anything from Mac, just because it's from Mac.

I have the Trick Flow. Got it from Summit for $139 I believe. Same thing as the T/A. I think they are all about the same.

i think that im going to get the MAC becasue of the price. i think that they are all about the same. but, i might get the Saleen one just because i love saleens and it says saleen on the cover. kinda petty, but hey, its all good.

T/A has a new version of the cover out - the load bolts are recessed, so they don't hit the spare tire well......

I'd have to agree with your theory here, sir.

yea

T/A's are made with better material in a more controlled environment.. Like 1989 said buy a T/A and thats the last you will buy.. Better quality for sure..

Ok, I have to play devil's advocate here and ask how you know this?

Like I said above, I've had more than one (including the T/A - SVO) and now a Strange, and to my naked eye I can't tell any real difference in material, and they seem to weigh abotu the same as best I can recall, in fact -- I like the Strange setup better with actual botls rather than allen heads.

Ive searched eBay for a new differential cover for the past couple years and I've com across 2 MAC used covers. They both looked bad and one of them was cracked. My advice is dont buy anything from MAC, their stuff is cheap but its junk.

MAC is not crap! I've never heard anyone rag on MAC stuff before, this is new to me. I have a full MAC exhaust and I love it! Even though it's not exactly what you might call street legal, it sounds nasty and the prices for the components can't be beat.

Well just my .02 on MAC stuff. I have used a lot of MAC products on my car. Well to date the only items left on my car MAC related is there shifter and there C/C plates The C/C plates are JUNK and actually bent goes to show you there quality. They will soon be swapped out for a set of MM or Griggs.

I am running T/A cover havent had aproblem with it. But they are well kown for there covers.
