theres a pic on page 162 of the aug04 issue of mm&ff if you have it. i think it looks nearly identical to the C&L. i was going to buy it until my insurance doubled for speeding...

The Accufab and C&L are well tested and known to be quality products. Why waste your money on an untested piece? MAC says, "Up to 20% better flow" - "UP TO" - is there no consistency in their product? Shouldn't this be a static number? MAC just doesn't have a great reputation, so I'd beware. Still, I'd be curious how it stacks up in some real world testing like they did over at modular depot. But until then, I'd stay with the tried and true...just my 2 cents.

I've never had a problem with mac products. Why pay more for a mod that does the same thing. Your paying for a name.

the accufab plenum is a lot shinier, but i don't like the fact that accufab is in giant letters. they can do their advertising elsewhere. i like the simple look of the c&l and mac....plus they're almost $100 cheaper. that's almost a cheap h-pipe

I'd get an Accufab if it didn't look so "Bling Bling". It supposedly has better numbers than the other ones out there but I havent seen any numbers on the Mac yet so... But I hear BBK is commin out with one soon too.

dragon had nice midrange with 75mm.. don't rule it out.. but obviously for a little more money the accufab is the performer

I like the look of the accufab but the price I got on the C&l was sooooo much nicer. Got the 70mm TB and the SCT dyno tune to go with it. Can't wait to get the car back.
