MAC 94-95 5.0 Cold Air Induction System
MAC 1 5/8" Ceramic Coated Longtubes with 2.5" Collectors
MAC 2.5" Pro Chamber


Going to pull the engine to replace the leaky oil pan gasket. Needed to do a little updating while it was out.....Not everything I want to do, but good enough for now.

added the longtubes to the first post......

I've read a boat load on here and sn95forums, it is possible to do it with engine in, but it sounds like a real pita, and i wanted to put headers on it anyways.....I have to get rid of the smog pump, the lines that run to the cats.....throw a shorter belt on it

If you can, return the Mac longtubes for some BBK's, or any other brand that has a solid flange. You'll thank me the first time you need to replace the gaskets for any reason, and can't get the primary tubes aligned with the exhaust ports.

I concur, unless you feel like doing what I did for 2 hours.

If you bought mac shorties I would say return them also. But the mac lontubes have enough flex in the long tubes to where you can move them by hand to get the bolts in. Plus mac will make more power with there pro chamber than bbk anything.
