Well i can pretty much get Mac LT's ceramic or BBK chrome for the same price. Which should i get, I heard that ceramic is the way to go but that BBK is a better header. Just would like to know is the ceramic mac worth getting or just stick with the better brand.

I had the HTS Coated MAC LT's and was not happy with them. Had ticking noise and exhaust leaks. Changed over to the BBK Chrome LT's and couldnt be happier, havent had any problems. The Ceramic Mac's will probably be better than my junk HTS ones, but its still MAC. Id go with the BBK's or save another $100 and get the BBK Ceramic Coated LT's.

I have Mac Ceramic LT's and I have the ticking noise. I am currently saving for BBK ceramic or SLP's. I know where you can get a used set of Mac Ceramic LT's pretty cheap.

I have MAC ceramic and they were ticking after installation. Had them tightened and everything is fine now.

I'd choose BBK but they don't fit autos (unfortunate for me)

Some older MAC parts were not of great quality, but as of recent (my o/r H, a friend's shorties, and a neighbor's ProChamber) I have seen vast improvements in fitment, finish, and quality. My vote is for MAC.

If you want quality pieces for your money, go Bassani, Kooks, or SLP. I've had the MACs , I have the BBK ceramic LTs on my fox and when I decide to put some on the Cobra, it will be SLP or BAssani

MAC quality is horrible, you will not be happy.

go with BBK, fitment is good, ceramic coatingn works well and the sound is awesome. I have had mine on for about 5 months now and they are perfect.
