mac exhaust questions

how loud is this exhaust and how is the sound quality, and how do you think it will sound with hedman headers 1 5/8 primaries 3 inch collectors and custom y pipe, and no cat. Do they make an off road exhaust and a regular one?

From what I've heard, they make both a street system and an off-road system. These exhausts are really loud. Do a search, there's somebody here that just got an off-road system installed and is having trouble becuase it's "too" loud.

Hope that helps.

That would be me having the trouble, LOL... to much troble. Its not an offroad exhaust its there street setup. But its a nice setup, too bad my parents are making me choose between the exhaust or the entire car... So the mac setup is up for sale.... :-(

its not that I want a real loud exhaust, I jst want something that has a nice sound at idle, and good sound quality. I have heard hooker and it only sounds sweet when you get on it, and too many people have flowmaster, and I just want something differant.
