thanks for the feedback those BBk's do look nice.exhaust size is determined by Airflow of the engine not cubic inches of the motor.and with my head mods and cam change comming in next couple of weeks im gonna be better off with the 3" exhaust.

flowmasters? im kinda old school but i figured theres probably something out there better these days...and 1 chambers might be a little loud for the street.more tickets.

well if you like old school and you want loud then 1-chambers will deff do the trick. if you want something more quiter the delta flow 2 or 3 chambers wold help if you want straight thru (which would fit your old school 60's taste but wont be much quiter) magnapacks,dynomax bullet mufflers,Slp loudmouth also?

My mac LT's had major fitment problems they run through the steering shaft and HIT like a bitch! BBK's would have been a better bet.

Are they really old? I will never by Mac LT's again. Although the pro dumps rock! And their catback kits are good.

Yeah, but how long have you had them on the car? My friend has Macs that have no steering link problems, but hes had them about 2 years. I was thinking maby they changed the design.
