the mac exhaust is a great sounding exhaust to use. 50 resto has the exhaust system part # MAC-TK8995. if you put that exhaust in, put in the mac longtube headers on 50 resto part # MAC-TF3693 will sound good. and the last thing you will need is the offroad h pipe # MAC-TF7993. my friend has a coupe with that setup and it sounds great. I have the mac mufflers on my coupe right now and I am trying to buy that same kit. enjoy it

You will not be dissapointed with a MAC exhaust system. I only have a MAC O\R H-pipe with stock headers and cat back and I get TONS of compliments about the sound of my car. I just can't imagine a FULL MAC exhaust system...

Got mac long tube headers, mac pro chamber, and a mac catback on my daily driver stang. It sounds great, but I gotta give Bassani Forward exit cat back on my beast.

Mac is my favorite sounding muffler for these cars. I've heard a lot of complaints about the fit, but I helped my buddy put the mac catback on his car and the fit was perfect.

The best Mac system for a Mustang is a Bassani system. Sound is a matter of taste, but quality of design, construction, and materials is not.

i had a mac flowpath catback and kept it on for 5 years. i also had the 1 5/8" equal length headers and had problems with cooked wires. i tried the plug wire heat schields but still had the same problem. it sounded great but was a pain the a$$ in the long run. the catback was no problem and got me alot of compliments. good luck on your choice.

All true points, but one you over looked, cost... the near $500 Bassani vs the $300 MAC... You get what you pay for, but some people would rather buy the MAC, save the $200 and put it somewhere else (especially on cars that dont see bad weather, road salt, and a lot of miles).

On that note Id LOVE a Bassani catback, but couldnt afford it. I pieced together a Spintech one with 3" tails that will clear any tire I choose, and should be happy with it.

The MAC is great for cost vs sound, the bassani is great for over all quality, without worrying much about budget!
