BBK or MAC?
The off-road H-pipe on my car is in need of replacing. Who makes a better offroad h-pipe, BBK or MAC?

I was thinking BBK too, but someone told me that the BBK off-road h-pipe for shortie headers will NOT fit a stang with an AOD. Is this true?

I've ran both and liked them both equally. The MAC was their X and the BBK was a H.

Does the BBK line up correctly with no modifications on an 87-93 stang? I use to have the MAC 2 cat h-pipe, and the fit was horrible. I could not get it on myself so I took it to an exhaust shop and the guy there had trouble with it. Basically, everything was off when trying to line it up.

They both fit a little different from one another... but I think BBK has a better fit and is easier to work with.

Another vote for BBK...for the price the ease of fit and the sound. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

I vote BBK as well. My H-pipe is not BBK, it's Pace-setter which bolted up perfectly to my BBK shorties and Flowmaster exhaust.
I say it's pretty much a toss up between BBK and Pace-setter.

WOW, everyone has voted for BBK so far. No wonder my P.O.S. MAC 2-cat H-pipe didn't line up to my car all! MAC pipes are sh*t and aren't even stainless steel. The only one I would considering buying after reading the prevous posts is the pro-chamber

Suprised no one has mentioned Basani.. I run Mac long tube headers into Basani X pipe into Mag flow mufflers...sounds great and no leaks...had to throw away the flow master...too damn loud..could hear me coming 5 miles away.
