Default Anyone running Mac catback?

anyone running this on their LT1 car? I am looking to buy my chick a new catback and curious what it sounds like....leaning towards a magnaflow setup or a mac if it sounds decent....

Here's a sound clip of a cam'd car with MAC cat-back. Not for sure but sounds like an LT1.

I heard it on a stock lt1. Dont know if he had cats or not...but to me it sounded good. I was actually thinking about buying the car...heard it at idle and a quick run up to 80-90mph. I would say its definitely louder than a magnaflow or blowmaster 80 series and wasn't raspy at all. I say go for it!

edit: watched the video and the one I heard definitely sounded deeper than that. Could be the car in the vid isnt running cats (which sounds like *** no matter what cat-back IMO) and the one I heard was...I'm sure if you look hard enough on youtube you could find a vid of one. Good luck.
