Ok after months of pondering what axleback i should pair with my o/r h that i have sitting in my room i finally ran across some clips that completely make up my mind, might want to add this to the official exhaust thread! The contestants were violators, flows, and macs. But to me Macs take the cake. This is the exact sound i want. Anybody else agree this sounds sick?
Only heads up I would give anyone from listening to clips is be aware of the drone factor, lots of mufflers sound good but also have a painful drone at certian rpm's. I'd pay attention the "official s197 exhaust thread" on this issue. Took me 2 sets of mufflers to sort it out.

You'll love the MACs dude! They get louder with headers too. MACs are for the guy that wants to stand out from the crowd since they are louder than flows, borlas, corsas, FRPP mufflers, magnaflows. We had a GT500 down at our speed shop that the guy put borlas on and they sounded like crap man...too quiet for that monster. I just went on a cruise with some other 05+ stangs to a big Mustang show and when we pulled in everyone was revving the engines for attention and they ignored all the flows guys, but loved my exhaust...and I think flows sound good...just too quiet. A lot of the guys that frequent the shop have MACs too. They sound really wicked. They do drone between 1800 and 2000 rpm, but it's the price you pay if you want to sound like the big dog!

these are the first sound clips I have heard that actually does this setup any justice. even then you don't get the full affect. I used to have this setup on my car and let me tell you that you will DEFINITELY stand out. It's loud a hell and sounds great..... but it's also loud as hell in the car. you will have a interesting time trying to have a conversation and forget about using your cell phone. I kept my off road H and swaped the mac's for some violator axle backs. not because they sounded better but because they were quieter. the mac's are chambered mufflers.... like an echo chamber. makes it sound great but loud. other straight through mufflers will not be as loud outside and even more so inside the car. If you want super loud and bad azz, this is the setup to get.

LOL...I know exactly what you're talking about with the talking on the phone thing. I was on the phone the other day with the windows down and I practically had to yell...the person on the other end loved it though since the car sounded so bad A$$.
