Mac or Dougs I have decided to do the hot cam kit at tax time in 3 months. I know some of u are going to question my choice but there it is. I am going to gasket match the intake manifold heads and exhaust, nothing major. I hear lloyd or Ai wont touch heads if u work on them yourself so I want to leave that option open. My question is do I go with the Mac Mid length for 450.00 or the Dougs shorties for 650.00? I know that the Mac's are worth about 25-30 horse at the wheels but i don't know anything about the Dougs other than the name is top notch...anybody running them? And are they worth the extra money? Thanks
I had Mac mids and they were awesome. Fit really nice and had great access to spark plugs. Only reason I pulled them was for longtubes. They are for sale if interested. Also any reason why you don't want longtubes?
Agreed. Mac mids are really nice headers. I had them on my car for 2 years and there currently on my friends car for about a year. There showing very little signs of rust and thats it

K thanks for the input, my car is lowered 2.5 inches with the eibach springs to low for long tubes. I have heard alot of good things about Mac's. But my problem is two years ago I tried to order some, put in the order they had none to ship...so i called every week for 3 MONTHS. My money 700 bucks was tied up while i was waiting. They kept telling me they didn't have a date for me and it would be soon. They really pissed me off and i cancelled the order. I ended up using the money on bills, i really wanted those headers. I couldn't find them anywhere else. Are those headers for a 93 posksoda? My AIR and EGR are in a different place and how much u want. Nobody has an opinion on the Doug's headers? Is anyone runnin them?

If you want it to go fast, put it back at a normal stance so you can run long tubes and actually hook decent...

I will second the wheel gap...absolutely terrible! I do have the sportline kit from eibach. I would think the minimal extra horse between the mid length and long tubes i will take the stance and mid lengths. I have no problem with traction at all with 11" of tread at the rear, my car hooks that's for sure.
