I can get the MAC for 155 shipped and i can get the UPR for 150 shipped. Is the MAC worth the little extra? Which one is better? Anyone have fitment problems with either?

thanks,
alex

I recently got the UPR pipe from Cool Blue Performance for 155 shipped. I think the fitment is pretty good, it worked fine for me, might be slightly lower but i could probly adjust it if i got motivated. Very nice sound w/my borla catback and stock headers. If i was you i would go with the upr. I would think that they would be higher quality, i have a mac catback on my v6 and it leaves a little to be desired. Good luck.

i got the mac. the upr doesnt have the hangars, that proved to be a good thing when installing the mac. i had to fight with it a lot and dread ever having to take it off. i was about to cut the hangars off and they required some convincing with a hammer. but, oh man. i got shorties, the x and flowpaths, it sounds awesome.
