Just got finished installing everything and it nothing short of a new car!!! 
Unfortunetly it took longer than expected and I couldn't make my appointment for a tune at DTP today. After getting all the stock crap off, the actual install of the new parts went pretty smooth. I had to take off the motor mount brackets and lift the whole engine about 4 to 5 inches, but other than that not to shabby. It certainly pushed my Craftsman set to its limits! The sound at idle is still pretty calm(not much louder than the axle backs) but under acceleration, it is amazing. You can definetly feel the difference and I will hopefully have it tuned later next week and post results. I should get atleast 330+ to the rear tires so I can't wait

Forgot to let you guys know...I ordered o2 extension cables from Steeda and everyone I talked to said they were the same as previous years...not completely true. The actual connector is the same but the notches on the sides do not line up with the grooves of the 05. I had to shave of the notches to get them to fit, but the still latch in place tight...just fyi

Awesome dude!
I have concerns (if this is the right word for it) over MAC quality. Ive seen a number of bad reports here on the interent. On the flip side, Ive seen some encouraging reports as well on their newer products (last few years.) What made you go with those over JBA? Price, sizing, etc..? Ive been eyeing their headers for the v6 since they hit the market, but havent moved on them yet waiting for more info. Keep us (me) posted on how they do.
BTW, thanks for that info on the o2 sensors, you just saved me and Steeda an email to send and answer

I had MAC on my previous mustang and always liked the sound their products produced. I have never had any problems with their stuff and to get a set of longtubes that are polished ceramic coated for just over 400 bucks delivered, isn't to shabby.
