MAC Long tubes, BBK Catted X-pipe

[04DSGAZMACH]

Does anyone know if MAC long tube headers will mate up with a BBK shorty catted X-Pipe mated to SLP LM2's. I am trying to decide which setup to go with. I could run BBK LT's with a BBK X-pipe but the MAC's are said to be just as good as BBK for cheaper. Thanks

I doubt they will match up. I'd just order the Mach mid.

I can't find a catted MAC Mid-pipe

Hmmm, could buy the O/R version and get cats welded in.

I think I will just end up going BBK all the way with LM2's and eating the 150 price difference for ease of things

Keep in mind that you can't drop the tranny (not Planter) with MAC or BBK LT headers installed. It will make a 2 hour clutch change into a little nightmare.

Good info.Which LT's can you drop the tranny with?

 

[04DSGAZMACH]

I've read that you can in fact drop the tranny with MAC, but not BBK or SLP.

Kooks, Hooker and apparently MAC. These are the only ones that I know of.

So I can in fact run MAC with no issues, the problem is is that mac doesn't offer a catted mid-pipe, only pro chambers. I can't find any mid pipes that will work with MAC long tubes

Problem solved! Lethalperformance.com offers a house-built X-pipe with magnaflow cats for a good price. This is the setup I will be going with, MAC chrome LT's with LP catted x-pipe both together are about $700 which is way better than 1400+ for kooks or ARH
