Anyone have pictures of their MACs before install? Supposedly I got the MACs for '01's and up but I personally don't think so. According to MAC, the Passenger header should not have an EGR if they are for '01+, I just wanna make sure I got the right set. Besides, IMHO these MACs look like hell for being "new".

 

Now I was supposed to get '01+ MACs, I believe these are 98-00 models.

 

Looks like an '98-'00 header to me. Wish you had posted this in November 'cause I would have swapped it with you. I ended up installing an "01 header on my "00 Z28! Had to plug off my air line, but was able to keep the EGR.

Yes, I agree that the fit-n-finish of MAC's isn't the greatest, however, they get the job done. IMHO, if your car is for "SHOW"...send them back. If it's for "GO" keep and enjoy them. I own $1k long tube headers on my previous TA, but can't tell any difference in sound or performance from the MAC's.

 

The main reason I'm pissed is that the 98-00 ones were on sale and is what I was going to order, but i was offered "the last set" of 01+ headers for a lil extra, and ended up paying more for the same crap. Why did I know this would happen!
