long tubes?

[timpryor]

anyone have mac longtube headers on thier 6 and how do they sound?

A lot of people on V6P have them. I've heard they sound good... They give pretty good gains, but are a pain in the ass to put on. And rust unless you get them coated.

these say that these are already HTS coated.

[Laser02]

MAC says that or someone else? I think MAC says their stuff is coated but it really sucks.

You need to get O2 sensor extensions. Or ditch your cats and get MILs.

i was gonna get thier catted H-pipe for the long tubes & get extensions

Opinions?

[Laser02]

Should sound good and provide decent power. The short tube headers barely provide any performance gain. I hope you know someone with a lift though. LT driveway installs aren't fun.

Don't get chromed. Try crematic (sp?) coating them.

Yeah, we have everything H-pipe with or without cats. But we do not carry MIL eliminators (check engine light dohicky).
Check the whole site. We carry tons of stuff for your 6.

sorry 1 more question do you carry the O2 sensor extensions? i didnt see them on the site.

HTS stands for High Temp Silver. They're painted. I have MAC shortys and they're holding up fine.

[Dom]

Might be different on the exhaust system them. I always heard it sucked.

HTS is High Temp Silicone It doesn't stop corrosion but suppose to slow it down, and it will scratch off very easily, noticed that after putting on the catback and draging it under the car. I think i remember a while back someone saying that mac is starting to ceramic coat them? Most people get ceramic coated ones or the get them "jet hot" coated i think it is.

[Extreme Effects.com]

MAC is starting to offer ceramic coating, however to this date they have only made 2 pair for the V6 and that was almost 4 months ago. I have no idea when they will start mass producing them, but you know as soon as they do we will have them.
