Are MAC mid lengths good for 2 tenths?

He then ran the test again and it passed again, he just shrugged, shook his head in disbelief and pulled it forward. I think someone confused "Midlength" with "Shorties"
anyways..
If you can get a set of MAC's for real cheap they might be an option, but with the prices of true long tubes now-a-days, they are usually the best way to go.

MACs out of the box are worth around 15-20rwhp. If you grind the interior welds and use a Flowmaster collector instead of the ball/socket flange, you can get even more. I made 18rwhp with MAC headers and my factory cats welded in the MAC Y-pipe. I've seen MACs go in the classifieds for under $300, so they are a viable alternative to LTs for somebody that wants a good preforming header with great fit that drops in from the top.

For the price, they are still a good header, though I do agree that if you get a similar deal on a set of LT's, I'd go for those. As I said though, I've never personally seen a set of LT's seall as cheap as you can get MAC headers for.
