My friend has a 98 WS6 with Mac Headers w/ ORP. He has a ATR cat back. His was really loud and would get rasp at around 2200 RPM like you've probably heard people say. So he put in some bullit mufflers and it took it away. And the car sounds awesome. I'm probably going to get that same exact set up. Really wakes up the car.

I'm running MAC's with a 3" ORY, going into the stock WS6 exhaust with a cutout just before the muffler. I wouldn't even dream of driving the car on the street with the cutout open.

With the cutout closed, it's music to my ears <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

BlackWS6 and Boshawk both have FLPs, no cats, and a loudmouth. Their cars are crazy loud. Joe floored it past me last weekend, and my ears were ringing so bad it gave me a headache. I know you asked about macs, but the loudness will be very similar.

I have macs with cats and a loudmouth, it sounds very tame compared to their cars.

People say it sounds like ***, but I personally think it sounds intimidating... <img src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" border="0" alt="[hail]" /> <img src="graemlins/formula.gif" border="0" alt="[Pontiac]" />
