Default 35 rwhp gain with mac midlengths over stock manifolds

Dynoed my car this friday and made a decent gain with the headers. Not too shabby for 6 psi



I put the 12-bolt in sunday and I'm ready to go put that power to the ground now!

Thanks Tiago I'll crank up the boost when I have another car and can afford to rebuild the engine with more cubes and less compression

Those MACs are decent headers and ground clearance is great

I switched from JBA shorties (no better then stock manifolds really) to MACs with cats and picked up like 50rwhp back in 2001 with a P1SC/2000 z28 (476rwhp)

FWIW I switched to a set of FLPs LTs and didnt pick up anything, the MACs work pretty well on milder FI cars and you cant beat the fit.

I have the Macs too and when I added an OR Y-pipe I gained like 21 rwhp and 12 ft. lbs! They do pretty good! Some people have doubted them, but a buddy of mine switched his over from Macs to Hookers and his dyno looked the same and the car ran the same times!

Yeah, ground clearance is just as good as stock. That is the main reason I went with MAC's with my lowered car
