Default Opinions...

So I might have to go another route with my full exhaust setup...I am on a limited budget. (or at least id like to be)

What are your opinions on the MAC Header/OR Y setup. I'm not a big fan of MAC, as I think they are a bit cheap....prove me wrong...

A pacesetter longtube setup would be cheaper. For MAC shortys they want $519 plus 38 for shipping...so that is $557...

LS1Speed.com has coated Pacesetter headers for $399 + $145 for their y-pipe. And they offer free shipping..so that is $544. Then there are several guys on here who buy your stock catalytic convertors for $145. So..there you go..$399 for full exhaust.

You can thank me later.

pacesetter all the way if you are on a budget. Mine went on in 20 mins once the old exhaust was off (i swapped in ceramic coated headers). I had Mac longtubes on my old Mustang and the fit wasnt that great, but the coating was top notch.
