i have it. for the price you cant go wrong. it sounds nice. It is a pretty good fit, and the tips are nice. It may rust in like 5 years or so but for the price of the bassani you can replace it 3 times. I am happy with mine all and all. But i am sure the all stainless is better quality and will last longer. but for under 300 dolllars can you really go wrong? if you dont like it, for 300 dollars just sell it for 225 and get the other one.

no pics if you go to macs site the picture is accurate. Your catback wont be nearly as loud as the setup you had. Actually it will sound weak without the headers and highflows but it is louder then stock at idle and comes alive at wide open throttle. The drone fills the cab at 2000 rpms and sounds nice. The old setup you have will be louder though.

Check this out, though - I've had my Mac on my truck for just about a year now... Clean it as much as possible (usually once a week), polish the tips, etc. Tips are showing rust on the outside. The rest of the exhaust is doing great, though, not a spec of rust on it.

noticed a bit or rust on mine today too. which sucks its pretty new. I hit it with some neverdull adn it took it right off but.... a stainless steel exhaust might be a better idea. Magnaflow isnt that expensive.
