lots of people have that setup, altho i'd highly recomend not using the MAC cats because they flow worse than the stock cats. It'll give you good gains if you get some good cats in there.

I've got Macs on my car. They are a good header for the money. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I like my MAC's alot. Ported them cut the ball flanges off and had a custom 3" flowmaster x-pipe setup. Loud,Loud,Loud!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> No cats and used 1 chamber shortys on the flowmaster. Oh my god what a difference. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

I think a majority of the people these days go cat-less anyways. Its the ONLY way to go <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I have a set of these off of my 98 z that are just sitting out in the garage. They already have random tech high flow cats welded in. Shoot me an email or a pm and maybe we can work something out.
