best brand for catback
after saving up plenty i am going to buy a catback that works with my y pipe and i want it to look good and have sound that doesnt sound cheap or whatever i was wondering what the best brand is and my car is a 97 v6

Personally I would recommend the Mac Catback.
Sounds great, look good, and the price is low.
Have a set on my 95 v6, definately the best choice I could have made, they are loud as hell and have tone, although they can be a bit raspy, as all exhausts will be on a six.
(went with magnaflow for my GT)

+1 for mac...i have it as well, and i was impressed with the sound for it being a 6. I think mac has the best looking setup too, the chrome tips are really nice! i have a little exhaust clip below (if it still works)
edit: didnt work when i clicked it, so ill try and put another one up, if you want to hear it

I have a clip of when I influenced mstg97 into buying a mac, lol
this clip was after the car had been sitting for awhile (several months)... usually would sound less raspy and not spew white smoke lol

i just got the mac catback that works with the y pipe installed today. the guys in the shop had a little trouble installing it but now that it is installed it looks a ton better and it sounds amazing. im happy with it i will post a sound clip if i learn how to do it.

If u want decent sound with cheap price, MAC is good, otherwise, i'd look at the Spintech Side exhaust, it sounds DAMN good on a V6 and as far as looks, it's a HELL of alot better lookin then those bend down aftermarket kits,...
which ever you end up doin, if you decide with the Mac, make sure you atleast cut out the exhaust in the bumper, it looks soooo bad just bent down.
thi sis what mine looks like...

haha
haha yea Ghost did for like a week try and convince me to get the mac exhaust... but not to hijack this thread but if i could drop the money to get the H pipe too wouldnt i have to go with a GT catback also? and would the H pipe with the gt catback sound better as compared to the v6 catback that hooks directly to my stock Y pipe on a 97' v6?

dont know mstg97... all i know is grimmz just posted lol
yeah, i forgot all about how the 99+ look silly with the tips coming out under then rear bumper because they dont have cutouts... us SN95s look completely normal with a v6 dual exhaust... but side exhaust is awesome... sound bounces back at you alot more often!

Yea i really really love the sound of the SLP's on a V8 and thats the way i would go if i had one but none the less ive never heard them on a v6 would love to know how they sound... So what yall think MAC H pipe with MAC gt catback? Or Straight stock Y pipe v6 catback?

and Yes, my exhaust is connected through my Y pipe, which will change here in a couple weeks when I install LT's and an offroad H... The sound clips I got in my sig really don't do it justice, My exhaust wasn't welded yet and u can hear it leaking alot. Now it sounds alot more throaty and mean around 1-3k, but after 3k on a 6 banger ur kinda screwed neways...
PS. Yea I'm startin to come back, lol, between work and the internet at my house goin out all the time now it's been hard to catch up. That and a million other things i'm doin now...
