Mac Midlength of Pacesetters, help me decide After my new tires go on, I will be doing my exhaust setup within the next month. The plan is to install the headers/ORY/Cut-out and catback all at once as to save money/install time.
I really can't decide which way to go. I see Macs for sale on the site all the time with ORY's for the same price I could get the Pacesetters for. I am NOT planning on upgrading my heads or cam, ever. I already have a lid, and plan on doing full exhaust then a 125 dry shot of nitrous, then maybe some more bolt ons (FTRA, pulleys, roller rockers, etc.). The car will be lowered on 18" Z06's so clearance will be an issue. I am looking for the best gains with clearance and a good fit/easy install. From what searching I have done, it seems like without heads/cam upgrade, the mids will make as much power as the LT's.
Give me your input, what would you do in my shoes.

I went from MACs to Pacesetters, but that is only because I plan to do more stuff to the car in the future, if i stayed SI I probably would have just stayed with the MACs, but i do love the sound better with the Pacesetters. It will all come down to money.

Definetly go with the Pacesetters. Havent had a problem with mine and they fit perfectly. Wouldn't recommend the Pacesetter Y though. Or at least get a LT. Maybe try the new Hedmans?
