I'm looking to get Mac long tubes, hi flow H pipe, and cat back. I want mac mainly for the price, but i want to no how long do they go before the start to rust? Is that Hts coating any good?

my headers are pretty rusted. It started less than a year after I got them and the pic is from 2 years later. My H pipe (no pic) is only a few months old and still looks new. Sound is great though but I have a lot of under hood heat and annoying ticking noises. I'm not sure if the ticking noises are coming from the headers or the valvetrain.

wow! that's a lot of rust.. SLP's been on almost a year and look great /thumbsup
|
besides the quality, i also want to know what i should expect to pay to have the headers, h pipes and cat back installed.

Go to WWW.JET-HOT.COM. they sell mac headers with there ceramic coating. They also sell x-pipes and prochambers coated.
|
any header that isnt stainless,or ceramic coated like jet-hot etc... will rust.

like bbk's? I don't think mine are ceramic. They're "chrome" |

I thought I heard that BBK's were ceramic, but were alumized steel, not stainless steel.
I have SLP as well, best of both worlds, ceramic and stainless, still look as good as new. |

Well I looked on the site where I got mine and it doesnt mention ceramic, wheras the ones on MT do say that they're ceramic. I assume bbk offers both kinds, which would explain why I paid so much less for mine than MT offers |
If yours say "chrome" they arent ceramic. I have ceramic BBKs.

I've got the Mac catback too, it still looks really good as long as I keep the tips polished. Sounds is deep and throaty. check out www.mustangexhaust.com if you wanna hear one.

Here's some vids of the exhaust
again, Mac L/ts (rusted to hell) Mac O/R H and Flows.. done on a Texas back road (speed limit 70mph). I Haven't edited it so please excuse the length.
1) the ticking noise that may or may not be the headers http://media.putfile.com/DSCF0009 2) few revs http://media.putfile.com/revs41 3) take off http://media.putfile.com/take-off-and-decel the last one is long so after the accel and decel there isn't anything interesting. All vids were taken on a FugiFilm f401 digital camera with digital video but they turned out alright. |
