Default New car has Mac header ?

I had JEt Hot LT on my SS and liked them. How do the mac's compare? Are the worth having or do I look for long tubes?

so your car came with mid lengths? if so just leave them, the gains between the two wont be worth the money if you already have them for free....

Unless you sell them and get some used LT's. It may be worth your while. Now. Is the car *new* or new to you?

If they're in good shape and you dont "have to" have long tubes than I'd leave em.

There not coated which bothered me. They also have the egr provision which I dislike. THey come with no cats and I already have a new Y w/ magnaflow in my den that fits Hooker, jethot and pacesetters. I would have to buy the catted Y for the Macs or the Headrs for this Y. Think the Macs are gone and I am ordering some Pacesetters.

Fwiw, I have a Mac catted Y that I never installed, brand new, sitting in a closet somewhere. If the OP wants it, pm me an offer.
