I'm might be getting one of these for christmas..anyone else on here have one? I want it loud but not so loud that it will annoy my neighbors when I come home at night. I listened to one with an o/r prochamber on youtube and it sounded awesome. What would be a good (catted) midpipe to put on there with it?

I like the sound of the Mac catback, its hollow and loud, but not real annoying(compared to flows at least)

The catback sounds nice, but I don't believe it's SS so it may be prone to rusting if you live in such a climate.

i live in jersey...is it not as loud with cats?

ohh..and does that "dura-black" coating actually help or would i be much better off getting a stainless magnaflow or magnapack?

Cats will quiet it down a bit. The Dura-Black is supposed to be an anti-rust treatment I beleive, but be careful when your putting the exhaust on because if you scraped it the coating will come off.

Mac FTW! It will not be as loud with cats....but should still sound nice. I would do a catted prochamber, that way if you ever want to switch to no cats, all you have to buy is the two cat-less legs, and they're pretty cheap.

The black cat-back should hold up for quite some time. Might not last 20 years, but do you really think you'll either have the car or still want that exhaust that long from now? Plus its pretty cheap to buy, so I think you get a plenty good product for your money.

I'm gonna get the stainless catback. What would be a good (street-legal) midpipe to go with it?

Nice pick, Post up a video when you get it. I had mac stainless catback on for a year and just switched to magnaflow myself. I went with the magnapacks.
