GT/CS + MAC Axle Backs = Awesome!!

WOW!!!! Just installed the MAC all Stainless Axle Back system on my 07' GT/CS. Now this is what a Mustang should sound like! It honestly sounds like a big block. I gotta be honest I know alot of people complain about "drone" which is something I was also worried about, but I fell in love with these mufflers today. There is a resonance there, but that is to be expected. But if there is any drone at all there, It's not bugging me a bit. The only problem I have now is trying to stop from stomping on the accelerator. For $329.00 straight from MAC, it is an inbelievable muffler set-up. Also not to mention the 4 inch slach cut tips are sick with the GT/CS rear bumper. Sorry don't have a video camera, but here are some pics........

And installing them was ridiculosly easy.

Can't wait to drive it again!

Congratulations.

Although I admit, people throw around the "big block" phrase WAY to liberally. Most people have probably never heard a 390 with 10.5:1cr, an 850 Holley, solid lifters, long tubes and Flowmasters. It's a very unique sound that's near impossible to duplicate.

Looks nice - are those rolled tip or dual wall....I think rolled tip -but hard to tell from your pics. Now you need to get some high heat black paint and paint the end of the muffler black - so all that shows are the tips

Fast, the sound these things put out is excellent. I recommend romping on it while in a tunnel or under a bridge. I love my macs.

Hotlap, they are roll tipped.

I ran a pair of MAC's on my 06'GT and the drone didn't bother me either.It wasn't bad at all.But I thought they had the weirdest sound when your slowing down.Had kind of a Euro sounding engine noise going on.They really fill up the exhaust cut-outs and the tips are really nice.

Congrats on the MACs!! I have them too and ever since I got em I did things to see how loud I can get em... First the O/R H-Pipe which made it deeper and louder, A Big Plus!! and now that I installed the LTs the sound is GODs GIFT to Mustangs!... When your at WOT the sound can be heard from 10 miles away..... I LOVE IT!.... Oh and about revin it in the tunnels and under bridges... Its like crack.... you keep needed your fix on it!

Hahahahahahahaha...........I agree 100%. I love the MACS, what drone???? Ever since I put them on, I find myself driving the car with the radio down a bit just so I can listen to the exhaust. Parking structures are a shat load of fun!! I don't even need to rev to set off car alarms.

I jiust wish we could install long tubes in Cali, Legally because I would do it in a heartbeat. I will be getting the JBA shortys..........shortly.

Super quality on these too, SOOOOO glad I did'nt get the Corsa's. Too wimpy for me............

Darn...wish i'd read this before I bought GTA's... the price is only about $50 more, which isn't bad at all for a full SS system

I fought my self for months trying to figure out what system I wanted, Its hard to find a system with all the right attributes, Tip style, quality, sound and price, but saw the MACS at the knott's show a few weeks ago, and was sold. I didn't even know they existed becuase MAC usually makes that "aluminized" crap..............

I can't believe the price for the construction quality, they look excellent. May have to bite the bullet and finally spend some loot on these.

i'm not saying that it doesn't sound good, but....

no it doesn't sound like a big block, especially if you still have your cats on there.
