there is no such thing as mac longtubes. i used to have mac mids and i changed to pacesetter lt's and would never go back.

$200 is a good price for mac mids. macs have been proven to be damn good headers also.

I had Mac Mids. Great headers, great quality, and great performance. I wasn't disappointed in the least.

yea ive got Mac Mids as well, and my numbers arent the greatest, but what really matters are the track times. I got an 8.50 at irwindale on my street tires, with a 60' of less than 2 (~1.96).

I think a big part is the cats, i hear that they are more restrictive than the stock ones.
