Anyone have an exhaust clip on a 94-95 5.0 with MAC LT's, offroad H and MAC mufflers? Looking to maybe get the LT's.
Have fun putting those on...plus you need inspection in NY right?
unless your pushing a lot of air you not going to gain but maybe 5hp over shortys
MAC's are said to have pretty good fitment. Yeah I need inspection, I'm running an o/r H, not worried about adding the LT's to be honest. As for the gains, at the moment I'm looking more for sound improvement. They gotta give
more than 5 hp though... I looked at the factory manifolds and they look so restricitive its not even funny.
Fitment isn't the issue....it's taking the time and aggravation to put them on... Also I have heard more then a few horror stories about macs and our cars...also with inspection you technically will fail then. So why are you not worried about it? That makes no sense.
You should wait until you do the H/C/I on your car to save the hassle.... Do mechanical things like breaks, suspension, fluid changes in rear end things like that so you will be ready for "these huge goals you have"
and no on a stock car your looking maybe 3-5 hp over shortys.
Welcome to ford cutting corners.
This debate is worse than pushrods vs modular. ANYTHING is better than the stock, kinked headers.
To answer the OP's question, here is a video:

No problem
Your mechanic is right. Win, Javi and slow90coupe are also right. There won't be any "earth shattering" hp/TQ gains on a stock motor. Will it make a small difference? Sure. It will also make it sound a little different and help with future mods. The unmentioned benefit is that LTs generally make changing plugs easier.
Can I get your honest opinion? The MAC LT's should be an improvement no? I'm not expecting to be thrown back in my seat, my mechanic told me your not gonna get the power your looking for until you do a blower or motor work. I understand that, but i mean all these members in here saying its a waste and ground clearance.. I'm not lowered so right now thats fine. Like i said originally I'm more into them for the sound right now
We understood your question. We're telling you the truth so you don't waste your time and money. Install different mufflers if you want the sound.... Shortys will make a difference in sound.
