The MAC headers are considered a "mid length"...Which provide a good balance between torque and HP. At 6000 RPM the mid length makes a little more than 20 HP over a longtube. On the bottom end, they make about 5 less Ft. pounds of torque at 2000.
I don't know about everyone else, but I'm launching above 2000 RPM, so the torque loss below that isn't applicable.
The MAC headers come with a y-pipe that's included in the price.

As for back to back dragstrip comparisons? Nobody has came forth yet to say they've went quicker or faster with a swap from MACs to longtubes. Incase anyone has, here's your opportunity to let us know.
