Sorry forgot to metion I also have a MAC cat back sytem on it.(2.5)..to be honest..this is NOT a loud system. Only when you punch it....but is really quiet cruseing on the highway. Alot of Stangs are alot louder. This sytem was done back in maybe 2000..so the new ones could be louder.
I also am looking at the MAC shifter..which price wise is only like $120..as compared to most others.....don't know if it works the same or feels as good as say the new Hurst....but man your only talking a little BALL that moves the trans...not like a 1970's M22 with all the linkage rods and stuff.
The companies are making a fourtune off this type shifter...LOL
I also have the Mach 460 sytem..which the seperate disk player went to shit...I think I will go with an after market head....and use the bottom part for gauges..as there are companies that make that...I can put in 2-3 depending on the size.
