I have their catback and o/r h-pipe. I love the sound. Fitment is a little off and i've had to readjust it a few times. If you like the muscle car sound and don't want to spend an arm and a leg, then mac is for you. Great rumble and it does have a little resonance, but what o/r system doesnt?

Some guy around here is running a mac setup on his cobra and it sounds pretty good...although ive heard some of their quality can be crap at sometimes.

isnt it basically identical to a flowmaster catback... even the mufflers sound the same maybe a lil quieter than the 40 series. still sounds good tho with an offroad mid.

I've been running a MAC or'h and Flowpath catback for awhile now. Idle is very deep and sounds great. Wot thru the gears, people will think theres a racetrack nearby. I get tons of compliments. I hear mustangs all the time, and I swear mine sounds better. Could be biased tho.

Me too. MAC Offroad Prochamber and catback. It does drone around 1800-2100. It just sounds like the exhaust sound is centered in your back seat. Outside that RPM range, the center of the sounds seems to be in the trunk or behind the car. The drone isn't bad. It's just louder than stock. And I love it!

To me, they dont sound the same. I think Flowchokers have their design a trademark.

MAC 3" catback, Prochamber and MAC LT's right here

I have many mustang buddies, and they all die for the sound of my car - very growly, very muscle car... Can't wait to finish my headswap and VT Stage 1's

Mac cb, O/R PC and Mac LT's.
Had a buddy yesterday, who's not into cars but wanted to race me and he said "I heard you pull away and your car sounded like it was some kind of beast growling." He didn't want to go after that. Of course I'm biased because it's my ride, but I love the sound. I have an older cb from 2-3 years ago, and I can't get it to fit right. It hits when I go over sharp bumps. I've taken it to 4 exhaust shops, they adjust/weld/bend and still does it. I might buy another one, newer one, with rolled tips.
Quality=you get what you pay for.
Sound=muscle car

I have Bassani and love it, but I also really like the Mac sound. If I get another stang, it will have an O/R H and Mac C/B. I think they sound a lot better than flows.

I have the Mac CB and O/R Prochamber. There's a vid on the page linked in my sig. Sounds is great, fitment was a little of a pain since the cb comes in so many pieces. Mine is currently pressed against the gas tank on the passenger side....so I think it knocks a little at times. Mine's pretty new still so I don't see any problems with rust or anything yet. Has a "drone" at about 2k rpms...but I enjoy the sound. The rest of the time it sounds awesome! I get my kicks going thru tunnels and overpasses and just stomping on it. For the price, I'd recommend it. Its not perfect but what exhaust system is for 300 bucks.

Kooks long tubes, high flow catted x, and mac cat-back. I think it sounds pretty damn mean.

thanks guys, got a deal from a company on ebay, $571.00 shipped for the Cat Back, o/r h, and MIL eliminators. is this a good deal? i think so, but there again, like some of you said, you get what you pay for. and if i have to pay a little more to get a system that fits better, then i will. had a MAC h and long tubes on my old 92 coupe, and they fit like sh&*, so that's what has me wondering should i even waste my time and money?

Parts Shopper has Mac CB for $309. For some reason they don't have the regular Hpipe. Just Prochambers. At least I didn't see one. I would say support the site and get the cb from here.
