MAC's HTS coating....

Scappoose · 01-02-2002, 02:03 PM

Can anyone tell me what it looks like? Is it a glossy silver ceramic like Jet Hot's? I've seen some coatings that look like rough primer and I don't want that. Thanks.

I don't know what they look like but i know what they sound like.

I heard a 93 Cobra with MAC shorties and MAC exhuast and it was unbelievably horrible, very high pitched and cracky, if i did'nt know better i would have thought it was a Honda.hehehe

Beautiful car though just sounded bad, my Cherry Bombs sound 10 times meaner.

MACs HTS is silver in color but dull not like Jet Hot's coating.. I wanted to go with the Jet Hot - but didn't have the extra $$.

The MAC setup we have sounds good - not like a ricer as commented in other post.. Of course cherry bombs are going to sound louder/meaner than a setup with cats especially when the fiberglass baffles burn up!

Yeah, unfortunately sound is subjective. I've heard good and bad of just about every system out there. A big part of what I like about Mac is their price. But I like that Jet Hot look. I had the headers on my 69 GT coated about 8 years ago and they look just like new. If it's a dull coating, I'm afraid it will collect dirt. These you just wipe clean. Looking for a little of that ease of maintenance.

High temperature silicone

This is the mac hts coated long tubes and they sound great.

That is pretty much what my MAC equal shorties look like too. They are 4 years old and still look pretty darn good. Not as good as hot-jet, but better than blue chrome.

I have the full MAC exhaust with a prochamber and cat-back with chrome tailpipes. Overall I am very pleased. The coating has held up pretty well, the system is easy to instal, and I really like the sound.
