-Mac mids have been proven to only be a 5 horsepower loss on the dyno compared to longtubes which is negotiable since dynos can vary by that much
-I can change my sparkplugs in 15 minutes...all from the top
-Ground clearance is the best
-Come coated and look good
-Mids WILL pass any emissions since they don't relocate the cat

A -5 HP loss compared to the long tubes is VERY acceptable for me. They look great and sound great and should help me pass my emmisions testing. In addition, the stock cat was swapped out for a Random Technologies Hi-Flo cat and I went the SLP's Loudmouth (with the adapter pipe).. I sold off those little SLP exhaust tips in lieu of two 5" monster exhaust tips that were also ceramic coated by Performance Coating Specialties.

I can't track it down. I think it's from the AIR fitting. Or, it could be at one of the exhaust ports, since the coating has come off from them being on there for so long and there's a little rust. Or, it could be a blown gasket, from a missing header bolt. I just can't seem to find it. I'll inspect them more after I take them off, to see. But, I think True Duals sound better on LT1's anyways, so I wanted LT's and TD's. Especially since it's rather cheap to get an x-pipe.

I don't have true duals yet. I'm waiting on the headers to get here. Should be tomorrow, hopefully. Then, I'm going to order some single chamber mufflers this week. And I hope to get the x-pipe all fabbed up in a couple weeks. Right now, I've just got the TES headers, cutout in place of the cat, and stock piping back to a Flowmaster 80 series.

I've been asking everyone the same question, about brand. All I've been recommened are the Pacesetter Ceramic Coated (LTs). They're supposed to sound great with the Flowmaster Catback that I have.
