Does anybody have or heard of someone having a MAC Pro Chamber Exhaust? I am looking at installing an exhaust system and need some opinions. Some say Flowmaster, Borla, Dynomax, or whatever. Any ideas/opinions. Thanks.

95 GT Edel Heads, shorties, Typhoon Intake, 70mm TB, Pullies, CAI and a little more.

Some people just don't care for MAC but they seem to put up good numbers on the dyno. I would stay far away from Flowmaster IMO. Borla is good but pricey, Dynomax is ok, Bassani works nice, and Magnaflow is what I like. Currently I'm running stock headers with a Prochamber and Magnaflow exhaust. I will be running MAC headers hopefully in a week or two as well.

This is before the Magnaflow was on and just the Dynomax with the Prochamber

I've had two of them, and I'm about to install another in my wife's LX. While some people prefer others, the Prochamber is still the king of midpipes for our stangs. While it's splitting hairs, it has won every dyno test I've seen hands down, and there have been many. My only complaint is that it's made by MAC... oh well. The life expectancy of MAC exhaust products leaves a lot to be desired. (oh, and that it's $100 more than a normal H or X pipe sucks too) However, they sound awsome and give good power. It's all about what you prefer...

i have a mac prochamber...i posted the prochamber=GAY thread...i like a good throaty sound at idle...the prochamber is pretty quiet at idle, but screams at high rpms...i like having the throat at idle, but you have your preferences...if you get some flowmasters and dump them with the prochamber, it sounds soooo good...i had to put pipes on mine for courtesy reasons...from what i know its a good power maker, but more expensive and quieter...i wanna be loud!...let me know how it goes

Quiet? You didn't have the right parts. It puts out a higher DB than any other design, and by the very nature of it's design it's deeper than either an X or H. When I had to take mine off and have an H bent, the difference in throat and volume at all rpm's was huge.

Thanks for the opinions, guys. I would like something that makes my "mild" cam sound awesome at idle. I love sitting at stop lights and hearing that thing rumble. I am not the type that loves the very loud exhaust to where you can here me coming down the road from a couple blocks away. Again, thanks for the opinions.

Most of the sound at idle comes from the mufflers. Get everything else right and not those, and you won't be happy. Of course, which ones sound best is totally preferential. Also, I've found different size tips make a big difference too- just going from 2.5's up to 3.5's on my wife's with no other changes completely changed the sound. Much better now. Going dumps just makes them stupid loud, etc. There goes the neighborhood

Hook me up with a e-mail if you want sound clips of the Prochamber with Magnaflow.....I just made a couple clips today. I will put them up on the site at a later date.

New sound clip

I know the first one works and I'm hoping the second will work as well. The video isn't that great on the second but you can hear it fine.

Mac Prochamber is the best sounding setup on a 5.0 or a 4.6! I hate the usual Flowsmashers and offroad h pipe sound. Prochamber with Pro Dumps or Mac Catback is nice and on a 4.6 it sounds good with Magnaflow also.
