I am thinking of getting the MAC Offroad H-Pipe. I run welding in flowmasters at the time. Is this a decent piece? How's the sound?
Anyone Got the MAC offroad H-Pipe?

My friend has a mac o/r h pipe with flows on his 93 lx. It sounds badass. What is the price you have found it for? I think CR Motorsports has the best price on everything. Check them out www.crmotorsports.com Also check www.partshopper.com They have free shipping to stangnet members.

The MAC offroad X pipe is a badass sounding midpipe combined with Flowmasters. I believe it sells for around $150. You should also look into a UPR offroad X pipe. I have that combined with my flowmasters and it sounds BADASS. Also sells for under $150.

If you go with the Flows I would get the Prochamber. The pipe makes the Flows sound deeper than just an off road H. I knew a guy that had an X with Flows and it wasn't my cup of tea. Listen to a few diff. set ups in person and see what one you like the best....everyone has there own taste.

Mac Is the $@it
I put the Mac H-pipes on this weekend. The car sounds bad as hell. Let me give you a brief description. When you first start it you can barely tell that its stock since it is just a slightly deeper rumble then stock. Once you start giving it gas it gets louder and deeper, but when you hit 2500 RPM thats like the peek sound. Thats when it gets loud and just sounds beutiful and thats with stock mufflers.

Damn, why are all fo the midpipes I look at over $300? Usually upwards of $400!
I realize I am looking at the cat'ed versions.... but still that is a huge difference?
Is MAC stuff just cheap?

i have the 40 series and h pipe and sound like a beast. IT is loud but sounds bad ass, not everyone will like it because its loud but sounds sweet to me and when your car is just sitting still its sounds really good you can really hear the rumble, and when you down shift it gurgles, and when you get on it a little bit it .....burbles

Installation is a breeze. The hardest part is getting the crappy stock mid-pipe off. When you are installing the pipe make sure to tighten down on the passenger side first. The passenger side manifold where the mid-pipe meets is flat and rigid. Make sure it is straight and seeled before tightening down anything else or you will have a big exhaust leak. Next just enjoy the new sound of the V8.

Why are so many people going with the H pipes? I thought the X pipes were the new best thing to have?
I've got it on! I thought I would piss my pants when I first fired it up. Talk about a hotrod now. It sounded good before, but this thing is just intimidating now. Especially with the supercharger. Thanks for the comments guys. The guy I bought it from told me to use a new ford gasket, but it wouldn't seal right because of that lip thats in the original pipe isn't in the MAC piece, so I took it back apart and used that big old thick one that they send with the pipe and put a thin coat of copper rtv sealer on it and it sealed up pretty good. So far I can't tell that it's leaking anymore, we'll see what happens as time goes by. It smells pretty funny sitting at the red lights, but it's about worth it for the sound.
Smells Yeap!!!
I installed mine this past weekend and it smelled pretty crappy for the first few days. After that it just disapeared. I think it takes a little while for the grease to burn off. I remember pulling it out of the box and my hands getting all dirty from grease and grime on them even though they were new so that is what is burning off!!!!.... Dont worry the smell will go away and you will be very happy.
