mac exhaust questions

how loud is this exhaust and how is the sound quality, and how do you think it will sound with hedman headers 1 5/8 primaries 3 inch collectors and custom y pipe, and no cat. Do they make an off road exhaust and a regular one?

From what I've heard, they make both a street system and an off-road system. These exhausts are really loud. Do a search, there's somebody here that just got an off-road system installed and is having trouble becuase it's "too" loud.

Hope that helps.

its not that I want a real loud exhaust, I jst want something that has a nice sound at idle, and good sound quality. I have heard hooker and it only sounds sweet when you get on it, and too many people have flowmaster, and I just want something differant.
