Question MAC people, please read!

Hi there,
I've got a 97 WS6 and I'm doing the following exhaust mods.
1)94-95 Borla cat back
2)94-95 Mac Headers
3)02sims
4)off-road pipe
5)Taylor OVC wires
6)LOKO ceramic coating of headers

Does this sound like a good exhaust system?
I already have the Borla, OVC wires and 02sims.
What kind of power gain should I expect?

Thanks guys,
Tyler

sorry to say, but that borla wont sound too good with an offroad pipe - at least, in my opinion, it won't..

you'll probably pick up a good 20-25rwhp though, but its hard to say.

I've never been a really huge fan of the Borla. It has a wierd sound to it. In my opinion your settup should be pretty good. Your car will be loud, and you will be able to feel the performance increase. I'de also say about a 20-25 rwhp gain.

If you ever plan on getting longtubes don't buy borla.....and i've heard it without a cat and didn't care for the sound. I'll be going hooker catback myself.

I would probably stay away from the off road pipe. I have one and it sounds pretty good with a smaller sized plate in it. If you go with the larger plates it gets nasty. I will probably put a cat, back on my car.

Add a cut-out and that thing will be rumbling!

But i love my ORP and would never think twice about putting it back on other then when i take the emmisions test. I havent heard an ORP with a borla, but with my system, its the bomb.
