i'm looking to go the more traditional route with an o/r h-pipe and a two chamber muffler on my 91 lx vert. i've listened to sound clips, but it's really difficult to make a choice. i realize this may be a matter of taste, but can anyone compel me with differences in build quality, fitment, or sound quality distinctions? the cost is about the same. so that isn't really an issue. i know the MAC comes black powdercoated with 3 inch tips, but aside from that, what else is there to say?

thanks for the help,
woody

MAC is nice because of there 2 piece tails if you dont have a lift. Its tough to get the flowmaster tails over the axle without a lift or without taking the rearend half out of the car.

MACs are gruntier/deeper and less "tinny" than Flows

Mac has more of a sound than Flowsmashers, which just sound like noise. I have had 3 fox bodys and every one of them had Flowmasters when I bought them, yuck. I never bothered to change them as I never kept one long enough. If I had, the Flowsmashers would have been out the door.

Had Flowmaster, now have Mac... Mac sounds better IMO. Deeper and less tinny like mentioned before. Also looking to get rid of it this summer!
