I am partial to the flowmaster cat back system. Alot of guys on this forum speak highly of the bassani x-pipe as well. Ive never used one but everyone here seems to know their stuff. (its a very well informed group we have here) As far as headers go Ive never been let down by BBK.

MAC's are supposed to have some of the highest hp numbers. They aren't the absolute greatest to look at, but I've seen worse, besides most people aren't gonna see inside my engine bay. I'd rather them be impressed by the way my taillights look 2-3 cars ahead of them

EDIT: I had some MAC shorties that I just sold because I got a good deal on some JBA equal lengths. I also a have an O/R X with Flowmasters, and I loved the way my car sounded.

The best exhaust is ALWAYS low-no back pressure, high exhaust velosity.

Not so much on a stock engine. . . if you're gonna end up doing H/C/I then yeah, free flowing exhaust is a must

No, I don't think you understand.

You WANT high velocity gases. It's called scavanging, they help create a vacume that helps to empty out the exhaust gases that come after them faster.

You DON'T WANT backpressure (contrary to a big myth, like open headers burn out valves and sh*t....). That CHOKES the engine.

It doesnt' matter if you're tuning a damn lawnmower or a Formula 1 race car. It holds true in both worlds.

You glad you went long tubes and not shorties? Cause a lotta people here don't think that long's are better (in short...they are).

I bought my car with the exhuast system already done and it is one of the sweetest sounding cars I've ever heard. It's a FlowMaster cat back system combined with the cold air intake it breathes easier at the upper end.
