Need advise on mac exhaust parts please???
 
i am thinking of ordering the mac pro chamber 2 1/2 in. off road H pipe with mac shorty headers will i gain atleast a 20hp with this setup or am i out of my mind for even thinking that? What do you guys think about MAC'S products? cause if they suck than i will get a better brand?

That's the exact same stuff I've got and I'm pretty happy with it. The Prochamber sounds great. I've heard of a few people having trouble installing MAC stuff, but that's the same across the board...some people hate it, some love it. I had an exhaust shop install mine so I wouldn't know. The 20hp you're looking for kind of depends on your current mods...but that sounds a bit optimistic. If you're totally stock you might get half that. If you've got some other stuff going, maybe 15. If you've got an intake, heads, a cam, etc then 20hp isn't out of the question...but if you've got all that and no exhaust then that'd be pretty odd too.

i wouldnt spend the xtra $$ but if you have it go for it. you wont be able to notice a difference in performance, you may gain 7 hp if your lucky, go with a regular h pipe

I have the Pro Chamber and love it. Do you still have the stock headers? If so get long tubes! You won't be sorry.

Too much to list. Best ET on the car so far with stock 2.73 gears - 13.73@102mph

The only problem I've had with MAC is that the headers are individually flanged, which made it a pain in the a$$ when I had to replace a header gasket. Other than that they make a great product, I have the chrome plated(I forget what the call it) and they still look great after a year.
