Macs to PPC is a big swing in $$$$. Are the PPC headers worth $1400? It's all in the eye of the beholder.

What kind of performance do you want? Are you going to add heads/cam later? Do you care if the pipes get rusty? Do you need/want cats?

The PPC is about as high quality as it gets. Macs tend to be on the lower end of the scale. You can ceramic coat the Macs, do the Flowmaster collector mod, do the ball flange converstion and add some Random Tech cats and have a pretty nice set of Macs...for close to the same money as the PPC's. It's all about what you want.

Please note when price comparing PPC header systems....

Yes, they are top quality. Yes, they are expensive. You would likely be shocked at my cost for everything in a complete system. There are 9 different companies or manufacturers contributing to a complete PPC header system!

Remember that EVERYTHING you need will be in the kit. There are no extra purchases.

Anyone can say it .... but, I mean it .... the utmost in customer satisfaction is guaranteed!

I have hesitated to show some of my undercar shots of the prototype system because the header set on the car is the first set and WAS NOT coated by my current coater (take a look & you'll see why I am not using the coater that did this set.....).





Thanks,

I can do installations by pre-arranged appointment. I do not have a full shop yet, so we just need to work out details of when it can be done.

Complete install is $500.00.
