I am kinda embarassed to even ask. But I am thinking about get LT headers but all I see for midpipes is a shorty o/r H. However I see people with Mac LT's and a Prochamber, so is it just the PC with out the connecting pipes or where are shorty prochambers sold, and does Mac make any mid-pipes with cats to fit LTs?

As always, Thanks!

Welcome to the Asylum.
All Mac products are crap I would look at a different
brand.The BBK L/T headers are good quality and just get
their matching h or x pipe.

Buy what you want.

I have a MAC O/R H-Ppie and love it..

Their products are made alot better than they used to be. 5 years ago, yes they were crap. But it looks like they listened to their customers and got their ***** together.

+1 For MAC

So do they make a prochamber for LT headers?

**Nevermind just had to look deeper into that site. Yeah I have a 2000 GT.
Does BBK sound better than Mac or is it just supposed to be made better?

Yes they have, and their CS before was always great whenever I've had rusting issues with my older setup, not many questions and they send out new parts

I notest that alot of people how have L/T's on their car
have the oil consumption issue.I have to have shorty headers
or I will fail inspection and smog test.
Also I see that L/T headers don't have carb numbers on them.

I have Mac ceramic LT's with shorty PC. I had fitment issues but finally got the LT's to not leak on the third try. No rust issues, price was right, got the shorty PC used from the classifieds section for cheap, love the sound and power results.
I thought the oil consumption thing was only with the 4V's, but I could be wrong. I have no problems with that.
As far as BBK with better quality, besides my fitment issue, I dont' see any difference. I checked for weld slag, nothing, no rust after about a year so what else is there.
I think they are good for one of the lowest price LT's out there. If you want quality check out SLP or Hooker. Those are sweet, but they are just LT"s. Both work.
