looking for mac mids and y pipe
I'd wait until you can save for some LT's .... MAC mid's and Y setup (with Flowmaster Y merge welded in) did me good ... spent 4 hours porting them. But, you'll eventually want to do LT's. I wish after changing headers/exhaust (for the 3rd time) I had just waited and saved a few more months to get the headers I have on the car now. If I had waited, the front K-member and upper/lower control arms OR Aerospace front and rear street/strip brake kits would be on the car now ... just a suggestion.

Verdad Gallardo i run open cutout and am about to sell the catback too and just do a dump off the y pipe with a sprial flow muffler. i think it sounds nice with the cam but most soccer moms dont. ill try to get some vids of the car with my phone some time.
i have macs and ory with a magnaflow cat back its not real raspy. it is from 2000 to 2500 at half throttle but thats with a a4 i have heard the same setup on a 6spd car and it really dont sound bad.... personally if i had to do it again id go with a set of long tubes.
no my macs didnt rust i used high temp header paint on mine no rust yet more than enuff ground clearence no my headers are for an 02 so no egr flange and i ditched the air injection and blocked them off
Mine were on the car for 4-5 years and they had very little rust ... a few small speckles and that's it. The factory coating kept them in good shape. They won't run quite as cool as the ceramic coated headers and they'll give you some respectable power gains.

screw cats, if you put a catback on, itll sound fine. ill be pulling mine off and getting rid of it in a week or two. only problem is i welded on all of the points, so if you want it i would have to cut it up, but welding it back would only cost like 50 bucks
