Hey guys....

Last week i put a Mac catback on my car and the hanger on the right pipe keeps breaking off! I took it to a local exhaust shop today and they told me that it does not fit and it is rubbing on my car. It is really rubbing on the rear axle. Has anyone had any problems with a Mac catback? would getting a new hanger be what i need for it to stop rubbing? the guy had never seen anything like the MAC system and he had never heard of it. I really need to know what to do because right now it looks like crap on my car and its hurting it!

-Jeff

Its wierd you say about that, on the GT that I just picked up I thought it had flows, but its actually the old school MAC system and I hear a noise when I pull out and today while cleaning the car I noticed that the driver side tailpipe does not quit fit on the hanger and isnt really being held on. So, I guess I can say I have the same problems as you, I havnt checked to see if the exhaust is rubbing, but I assume from the noise I get that it might be just a little bit

Lots of people who have had the Mac catback told me that the
piping is we'll known to rust and the chrome on the tips will crack
and flake off.Bad fitment and quality that's horrible.
