Everything on mine is Mac. Long tubes, mid pipe, and catback.

the short tube headers on the 3.8L engine are not restrictive at all, no really need to get long tubes

They do make it sound deeper. Which is nice, but it still sounds like a v6 above 3k rpms.

On a mostly stock car they are not worth much at all. However with a good amount of mods or when using nitrous or forced induction of some kind or a nasty n/a motor with a cam, heads,ported intake they are worth having for sure.

Seanstang has them because he has a sprayed v6 with many mods on his car. Teal Beast had them because he had a procharger pushing 11psi.

Yeah no matter what is done to the exhaust, it'll always be a v6. Mine sounds damn good below 3k, but anything above that it's just the typical loud annoying v6 lol.

Yeah on a mostly stock car I wouldn't suggest them, unless the future brings some sort of power adder.

You can't get the deepness that the long tubes provide over the internet. They sound really good below 3k. Kinda like every exhaust setup on a v6.
