So what's the question? Are those the coated ones or not? Either way, looks like you need to wash the underbody a little more often.

That is something Mac has lacked in for a long time, but still I buy for the sound.

Its not a question, its a statement. If I woulda known better I woulda got the SS version and had it coated myself. Just warning people.

I love the sound, but new and improved coating is a fat lie.

*EDIT* I wash my car underside and topside minimum 1x a week.

If you get MAC stuff even with thier "new" coating, get it powdercoated or ceramic coated professionally

Ive got some 2000F grill paint that i got from lowes, ive been wondering if that will work or not, but there is kinda already a coating on them. I bought them used and they kinda have a crussty chalky coating on them. Should i try to sand that stuff off or just paint over it??

+1 for what Kilgore said.
My ceramic coated LT's are rust free but my prochamber has a rust film on the welds, but who cares. They work great and the only ones that see the exhaust are the small animals that can't run fast enough.

MAC = CRAP they are usually the cheapest "mainstream" catback and usually have problems fitting... ie. my swap headers... Pipes can rust from the inside out so I dont see a coating being a "cure all." It's all in the material they are made out of... MAC add's rust to there production line

Ehhh, I'll agree with you that their headers are junk (at least for the OHV engines anyway) but I was quite impressed with their cat-backs and mid-pipe. I had an older system, that looked pretty much like the one above did fairly early on in it's lifetime, but 6-years later, when I sold the car, it hadn't changed a bit. Still looked like it did after the first year it was on.....and still sounded great.
