good choice bro , those mods on a mach will make a nice, quick DD. Gas mileage will still be pretty bad...but totally worth it in my opinion.

I am thinking about getting the magnaflow magnapack, anyone here had experience with that setup?

ALSO, I am hearing that the mach's are famous for a 'tick' in the left cylinder head and bad shifting in 5speeds? Are these like recalls or what?

I have them and love them, but weems had them on his 4V and didn't like them.

Are they really hard to install yourself?

Mine had fitment issues on the passanger side so Doug had to weld a part of it. The pipes fit together, just not with alot of extra pipe overlapping so he welded them as a precaution. If they fit right they should bolt right up.
