My uncle has the MAC flowpath mufflers on his car, they sound like flowmasters but IMHO a little better. They sound more like a 4.6 mustang instead of a 5.0. He has had them for a while, no clue where he got them.

my 94 has shortie headers, aftermarket H-pipe with high flow cats and Mac Catback. it does sound good albeit loud. It takes some getting used to if you are not used to it (drone).

Good luck.

The one thing Mac makes that I actually like -- the flowpath system. Quality is another story, but if you can deal with that...

I have dealt with the Mac products (and in all the cases they have been good). My next catback will be the Mac Catback (chrome tips to)

I will add that I am very pleased with the tailpipes that come with the system. They are beautiful chrome up to around the top of the axle (maybe further - I only climbed under that far to clean them up).

It seems to me that Mac does chroming for HD, and that says something to me.

I have the chrome tail pipes on my gt w cobra bumper. It looks good, I have had it for about 5 years now and the chrome is still intact. I also live in the desert. I love the sound, but sound is really a personal preference.

I persoanlly would take the MAC over the other systems, the new systems give you more adjustment since it is in 6 pieces, much better then a 1 piece tail pipe. I like the sounds, a little different then the ole Flowmaster.

I love the sound of them though they must be run with an h pipe. I hated my bassani x with the mac catback. H pipe is the way to go with these mufflers IMO.

I bought my car with a flowpath exhaust and a Mac off road H pipe.... Stock headers.

I love the sound.... It's similar to flowmasters but a bit more agressive. It's fairly loud when you get on the gas, and has a nice deep muscle car sound. There's some drone at around 2,000 rpm, but I drive 20-30 mins on the highway every day going to work and never seem to notice it. Maybe because I'm always a little over the speed limit, which means I'm at like 2200 rpm with 3.08 gears.

I didn't install the catback itself, but I didn't have any trouble when swapping my off road pipe for a stock one and then putting it back again. The system has been on the car 2 or 3 years and still looks good, no rust.
