Default MAC MID owners INSIDE!!

I've checked LS1sounds.com for a clip of Mac Mids with SLP High Flow cats coming out to a Hooker Aerochamber, with no such luck.

I already have the MACs on there, with the Aerochamber muffler, but looking for a good set of cats to make the exhaust nice and throaty.

Please post or send me a sound clip of your LS1 with the following things:

1) MAC Mids
2) SLP High-Flow cats (or whatever cats you have)
3) Hooker Aerochamber muffler

I'd like an in car, out of car, etc... Also, tell me how much rasp there is at around 2000-3000RPM (most backpressure and most rasp)

there will be no rasp at all. it will be very quiet maybe a tad louder than stock. if you want it deep and throaty you will have to get rid of the cats...and there will still be no rasp and it will still be pretty quiet untill wot

I do not have any cam. I just want to know how the SLP cats are going to sound once I throw them on the car.

I'd personally look into the carsound/magnaflow cats. There some of the best flowing cats. I run some modded macs(no ball flange and some porting work on the primaries) with 2.5 carsound/magnaflow cats 2.5 y pipe into the hooker catback. There is no rasp what so ever. Even threw my cutout I get no rasp except when the engine is cold I get alittle every time I shift.

True you may lose a couple horsepower over some Carsound or Magniflow cats but for $100 already mounted in a y pipe that'll fit it's worth it.
