getting mac exhaust today

[95/5.0stang]

Ok I called my local speedshop USA Motorsports and they have what i want in stock so im gonna be there today to pick it up. I am going for Mac coated longtubes, mac pochamber 3", and mac "3 True fit catback. While i am there i am gonna probably pick up a cold air kit also any recomendations on what kind to get?

A mac cold air induction would be fine. Also, how much rear wheel hp do you plan on putting down?

 

[95/5.0stang]

when im done with the heads cam intake and then maybe a vortech about 380-470rwhp if possible.

That 3" exhaust is going to kill your stock car. Please don't say your getting 1 3/4" LTs? I would go with a 1 5/8" LT and 2.5" prochamer. I have it...no complaints.

isnt it gonna help when i get my heads cam intake?

 

[GTJake]

2.5" is plenty for a H/C/I 302.

Jake

 

[95/5.0stang]

k ill just get 2.5 then. Thanx

How much should i be expecting to make with the trickflow tw heads, Trackheat intake, trickflow stage 2cam, and bolt ons? Maybe a built short block later

 

[95/5.0stang]

just picked everything up. 2.5 h pipe instead of the chamber, 2.5inch mac exhaust, mac 1 3/4 longtubes, mac cold air, and they gave me a good deal on a pro m 80mm mass air sensor. all for 800.00. i must say the coating on the headers is better than i expected. I should have everything installed by monday(hopefully)

 

[GTJake]

Should have got 1 5/8" LTs. The 1 3/4" are going to feel real lazy down low.

Jake

 

[95/5.0stang]

is it gonna feal really bad? if so i can take the headers back and get the smaler ones

 

[GTJake]

I would definitely switch for some 1 5/8". That's plenty even when you do the H/C/I.

Jake

 

[95/5.0stang]

i guess it would be better all around since they are cheaper. ill take em back.

 

[95/5.0stang]

how long do u think its gonna take for the install? im temted to go ahead and put the cat back on and drive it to the speed shop to trade the headers in and then put the headers and h pipe on

 

[GTJake]

With the extra money you can get a prochamber....

Jake

 

[GTJake]

I would do it all at once because your going to have to reallign the cat back when put on the h-pipe and headers. The long tubes will trake a little while but it's not that bad.

Jake

 

[95/5.0stang]

Does the prochamber sound alot better? and also im kinda worried about the pro m meter fitting on the mac cold air. Will it?

 

[GTJake]

No, the 80mm PRO-M won't fit the MAC CAI. You can just make your own out of PVC pipe though. I like the sound of the prochamber, but it's the only exhaust system I've had. Joe (vibrantredgt) has had a ton of different setups and likes his LT/prochamber/MAC cat-back setup the best.

Jake

 

[95/5.0stang]

i guess thatll be going back then. ill be getting 300.00 dollars back after i trade the headers in and get a refund on the meter. Should i get some wires and a shifter? I guess im gonna head to the store in a few minutes

i have the mac lt's/prochamber/catback for about a week now and i love it, i used to have bbk h pipe and catback with shortie headers.... the new set-up is much better sounding and running
