Mac catback vs Magnaflow catback What do you guys think flows better? Both the Mac and the Magnaflow seem to be a similar design, yet the Mac is $299 shipped and is really catching my interest.
I have a complete magnaflow system from the manifolds back. Its a decent system and you can get them from ebay for about 300-350 just do the make an offer option. Mine kinda fits poorly but I am working on getting it right this week.
The warranty suck to. My over the axle broke the tab off the pipe. I contacted them and they told me they would ship a whole new system but I needed to contact the vender i bought it from and installed it to get a number to go back and go through them. I told the guy it was just easier for me the fix it my self and i just welded a the tab on with some bracing.
I have no experience with the mac system.

I'm sure they flow comparably; the Magnaflow sounds better. I've had the MAC catback, and hated it. I just took a dump and the noises my a$$ made sounded better, so I vote Magnaflow based solely on that.
@adam1203 i just installed a magnaflow on mine and could not get the thing to line up no matter what i did so i finally took it to meinake and had them reinstal it. they made all new hangers and cut the tail pipes to make them fit properly. every camaro around me with a magnaflow the tail pipes always look retarded there crooked and the passenger side is alway pointing towards the driver side. i even seen a camaro where the pipes where sticking out past the bumper atleast 5" man does that thing look stupid. they only charged me 70 bucks

i ran a MAC for 2 years when i first bought my car, nows its got a magnaflow and i dont plan on changing anytime soon. the magnaflow is quieter but it has more of a tone than the blahhh out of the MAC.

Magnaflows do sound really good. I had a single inlet/outlet setup on my camaro with midlength headers and it was perfect. When i switch to LT headers i needed to change the muffler because it got alot louder. I switched it to a hooker aerochamber and then maxflow (they both had the internals fall apart on me) I just installed a borla pro-xs on her and its AMAZING! Any quality name brand exhaust system is going to do great. Maganaflow is fool proof. You will Love it.
hated my magnaflow exhaust on the LS1 sounds like a typical chevy truck u see driving down the road. The mac sounds tough, but they sound better on Mustangs. I like the way Hooker sounds on a LT1. That is what I have now, nice and quiet on the highway, u can actually have a conversation without yelling. this is with no cat btw.
