Thumbs up MAC Header Install... WOOOOOHOOOO!!!

Man, these things went in in only 10 minutes!

It took me 3 days to do the Jet Hots, and 2 day's to remove them, with these MAC's, holy crap, the driver's side just plops right up there, easy as pie. The passenger side, just find the right angle and give it a little push and its good to go.

Now, once I finish the car up tomorrow, hopefully it will sound just as good as it did with the long tube headers.

how come you ditched the LT's. I've heard mid-lengths can be better but everyone on this board swear by LT's.

Nobody would put an exhaust on it...

I'd rather be somewhat legal anyway, easier routing and better ground clearance with the new suspension. Damnit those LT's sounded good though.

Either you're legal or you're not. You're not. Hope it works out okay for you.

I will let you guys know, after X- mas I'm getting a firewire port for my digital camcorder, it records the sounds a lot better so I'll have a vid of what it sounds like with Long Tubes and MAC with the heads & cam.

MAC's don't come with the JBA tags on them, however you can get the JBA tags. And weld them on.
