Anyone have the Mac cat back w/ stock h and headers? If so do you like the sound (there are no clips for Mac w/ stock h on mustangexhaust.com) and is there any drone on the highway? Would there be a noticeable difference in sound between a factory h and a hi flow cat h? Thanks.

Well I have it with my o/r H-pipe. Actually it is a Flowmaster catback but with the MAC Flowpaths welded in instead of the Flowmasters. I like the sound of the MAC the best. There is not much drone on the highway. I find that the flowmasters drone more than the MACs. This my opinion though.

I agree. flowpaths are underrated. they ARE pretty damn good mufflers (though i wouldnt touch MAC's headers with a ten foot pole). And you're right, flows drone too much. They droned so much, infact, i got rid of mine. hehe.

Glad to hear there isnt as much drone as w/ the Flows, I used to have an o/r w/ Flows on my 91, but it got a little brutal on the highway by times.

I started out with just a MAC catback and it sounded great although it did drone on the highway. I put a upr x-pipe and now there is no droneand its oud as hell when you get on it. Sounds better than flowmaster in my opinion.

Yeap I do , I have the exact set up you're looking at.

You will like it if you like a deep sound , it's not agressive , I really like it. The drone is at 2100 RPM like almost all Mustangs and it's not that bad.. :shrug:

Here's a video of my car there is music at the beginning but at the end I do a fly by and a small burn out so you'll be able to hear it pretty good :nice:

2000 GT video !

You may have to play it twice cause it may cut out the first time you play it or you can "save as" if you want it's a sony web site so there is no virus there. ! :)

I had the cat-back with the stock H-pipe and it was actually pretty nice... No drone at all!! The stock H-Pipe really takes care of the drone.. After I put the high flow catted H-Pipe on, I had a little drone in 2500 to 3000 RPM range, but I can always up-shift to eliminate it. I had the flowmasters and they drone like crazy! MAC is a much better choice and setup IMHO.

What did you not like about the tips? I just called the shop to order the MAC cat-back kit. I have an appointment for installation in a few days.
