Which ones? the bang for the buck ones?

Everyone seems to be pleased with MAC headers for the "bang for the buck" headers.

Wait for something good in the forsale section. You'll save a ****load on some used headers. I got mac mid lenghts plus their ypipe and offroad pipe for $150 dollars. They were a little rusty but I sanded them down and painted them with some black hightemp paint and they look good enough for me and flow practically good as a new set. Its worth the wait to buy used. That would be your best bet. Even new there not that bad.

I would not reccomend these at all but I saw some LTs in JC whitney and On summit Racing for like 90 to 130 bucks. Im sure they suck but then again they are 100 bucks.

Definately keep an I out for them in the 4 Sale section I wouldnt waste your time with MAC headers I think that they are Crap Try to get a pair o JEt hots or Hookers. They are the best you just have to fnd the deals.


Good Luck,

Coated MACs from Jet-Hot

There is currently a GP on coated MACs going on until 1/16 I believe. Check over in the GP/Paying Advertisers section.

If you can not afford Hooker Longtubes then my vote would be MAC headers.

if your looking for best bang for your buck (not necessarily what someone might think is the best header), look into Pacesetter long tubes or shorties. They can be had for under $300 I believe on ebay, and you can coat them if you want. If your OK with used (thats what I bought) I have seen different brands going for as little as $100 on this board, just keep your eyes open. I paid $250 for my stainless steel uncoated SLP headers from this board and have been really happy with them.
