Is this a good deal? MAC Exhaust

JohnnyRebel · Mar 8, 2009

How would this exhaust sound on my 91 LX. I would of course ditch the tail pipes and dump it over the axle. Is this a good deal for whats listed here? I can get it for $550. The price is in CDN Funds so thats about $430 USD

Why did the person not post pictures of the actual product.

It is a decent deal if the parts are in like new shape and a pretty good deal if the headers are ceramic coated.

It is a good deal for all that stuff if it is in good shape, but be warned combining MAC mufflers with an off-road H pipe makes for a distinct "rapping" exhaust note much like you would expect a big old chevy truck with cherry bombs to sound

Your car would sound somewhat like that one, but the rapping sound comes in more when you are driving and the engine is under load. The car in that vid also has a cam which makes for a different, better sound.

Maybe I am making it out to be worse than it really is, but I bought an 89 GT awhile back that had that setup and I did not like the way it sounded when I got on it. Too much rapping for my tastes.

My perfect exhaust setup is MAC's with an off road X. That sounds like pure sex.

No ill second that. I have a buddy that went with all mac and that is EXACTLY how I described it to him. I couldnt agree more. I would suggest going with the Bassani aluminized x pipe. These were built with the budget builders in mind so price point should be almost the same.

+1 on pure sex with that combo

i can go make another vid if you want, with my top down, so its louder

The guy sold the exhaust before he could send me any pictures. What are good brand of headers that will last long but also don't cost alot of money? i am on a tight tight budget.

KamiKaziDK · Mar 8, 2009

Is your car stock? If so, I wouldn't worry about headers and just find yourself a good deal on an o/r h or x pipe

QUICK91LX · Mar 8, 2009

Yeah just hit up ebay for a decent off road x and a MAC cat-back. I am a fan of MAC stuff, early on their fitment was suspect, but now they are just as good as most others...I've never had a problem, and MAC mufflers are by far the best sounding out there

Cobra912 · Mar 8, 2009

I have MAC ceramic headers, h-pipe , mufflers and tail pipes and it rocks. Not too loud until you wind it up then it roars.

JohnnyRebel · Mar 8, 2009

I need new headers as my stock ones are rusty. I live in a salt area and the dickheads before me drove it abit in winter i'd say.

KamiKaziDK · Mar 9, 2009

ah....ok. Well get some decent coated headers if you don't want rust then, same with the h or x pipe. I love mac products, but from what I remember they don't do good in the rust department unless you get their coated products

Cobra912 · Mar 9, 2009

my exhaust has been on the car since '99 still not a spot of rust
