Since I couldn't find a good SS catted H pipe for the car out of endless searching. These are my top picks. I have a Mac Flowpath Cat back. Which one will sound the best with the catback and bring out the most sound. Also in quality as well. Share your thoughts

I vote for Mac. The sound of both will be the same, but IMO Mac is better quality. I have seen alot of BBK H's & X's & the welds always look rusty after a while. Both use aluminized piping, but it looks like Mac covers their welds with some type of coating because I have had mine on for a while now & no rust whatsoever....The fitment isnt bad either & its easier to install because its 3 peice too....

Here...Look at all the rusty welds, 02 bung, & flanges on this BBK catted shorty X pipe...






Heres pics of my Mac o/r H installed on my 95 GT..

The MAC and BBK will sound exactly the same cause the pipe is the same gauge and size. MAC seems to have better durability as EPIKGT stated. Personally though if I had to do it again I would get the Pro Chamber. Better sound and better flow for not a whole lot more money
