I HAD Flowmaster 2 chambers.

I HAD Mac mufflers and tails.

I HAVE Spintech Pro streets.

It's all a personal thing, but out of the 3 I tried (the flows and macs sounded very very similar with the LTs and Prochamber) I prefer the Spintechs with the Xpipe.

QUIET - LOUD - LOUDEST
Magnaflow - Flowmaster - MAC

I have the MAC's, right now, replaced an old set of Flow's. I actually preferred the Flowmasters. They were a bit quieter and had a more mellow tone. The MAC's are loud and all out brutal, but a lot of guys like that! The Magnaflows are probably the best made muffler/exhaust out there, with 304 stainless, but they are a very quiet performance exhaust. It all depends on what you are looking for. When I have the money, I will be qoing for the Magnaflows, for their superior construction and quiet sound. I guess I am getting old!

I only had Macs twice. My 92 had turndowns before the axle and the car was just insainly loud.
My Cobra (96) I bought them to replace Magnaflows that had rusted out. With the stock headers, MAC O/R H-pipe and the MAC catback that car was easily my most favorite sounding V-8 ever. I loved the deep tone of that car and how subdued it was at idle yet how it barked at WOT.
They made that DOHC just sing!

I'm surprised nobody ever uses Hooker Maximum Flow mufflers on Mustangs. I've had them on three different cars and always loved the sound, but I decided to try something different when I scored my Pypes Violators a few years back and I'm kinda attached to 'em. Maybe whenever they rust out (I got the early non-stainless versions), I'll throw a set on there. Stuff tends to not rust AT ALL out here, but I was surprised to find that those MAC mufflers that were on my notch when I got it were so internally corroded that some of the baffles were rolling around inside of there when I pulled them off. Poor welds, maybe?

i have longtubes, o/r H and spintech prostreets dumped. i love the sound, loud as hell, but i think i'm ready for something new. i'm either switching to a pro chamber or an x pipe and i'm hooking up my tails.

I'd be curious to hear how it sounds with an X-pipe. I have Mac dumps with an offroad prochamber on mine and love the sound though. Damn thing vibrates the ground underneath it at idle.

Jesse! Where's that video of you doing a burnout in your dorm parking lot in the 89?? That had some nice sound...not a true overall idea of how mac's sound...but sure does demonstrate them at high RPM! Haha

The video doesn't work anymore.

This is a off road x with a MAC cat back.
But here are a few I took in my driveway a while back. No the car is not supercharged, that was my very whiney T5.

Mac cat-back with a vrs o/r xpipe and mac shorty headers. Ran this setup for years, and the sound still puts a smile on my face when I slam the gas down. Ran it through my stocker setup, h/c/i setup, and my gone through motor setup and it just keeps sounding nastier the more power I give the car.
