Like the title says, I'm ordering the MAC O/R h-pipe from pacificaperformance.com for $119.50, is there anything else I need to get while I'm at it? Pretty simple to install too right?

while you have the h pipe off, why dont you do headers?

at the least, just get new gaskets. the install is pretty stright forward.

Eliminate the smog pump, as it won't be used with no cats. Unless you already have.

I'm glad to see your going for the o/r H pipe, for only $120 you won't be dissapointed. I would get some good penatrating oil so you can soak those bolts, it will make the job go much easier. I don't think headers will help you much at this point, they may even hurt. If your going to do headers and a mid pipe, do longtubes. But don't worry about it right now.

MAC=CRAP

I bought a MAC h-pipe before and it was a total pos. Nothing lined up when installing. All my friends have also had bad luck with MAC. I sold the car and went with a BBK h-pipe on my other stang. Couldn't be happier. Everything bolted right up. The BBK is around $160, but is well worth it over the MAC. You get what you pay for.

I don't have the money for headers right now. Plus, I don't see that they would help much. When I do get them, I'm getting the BBK Equal Length shorties, but that's down the road a little ways.
