Mac mids vs LTs

Is there much of a hp difference? I can get a set of Mac mids and ypipe for $300.. Should I do that or wait till I can find a nice set of used LTs.

Also, is my car too low?

Thanks for the info!

Yeah, what they said.

Most people say just go LT's but at the cost of some of the good LT's out there I went with the Mac's. Some people say Mac's are junk(funny, it's mainly those that have LT's) but once you read some of the threads you'd be suprised how much power gains you can get from Mac's. Happy reading.

With your car sitting that low, I'd definitely get the Macs. That's a pretty good price too. I'm really pleased with mine and I have the ground clearance to pretty much lower it as much as I want.

Good Job. Makes me wonder about them. I have seen some comparos where LT just make more power. But I'm impressed.
