Don't get it. I heard bad things about pro-chambers. You are better off with an off raod H pipe.

BBK
My neighbor has a 96 gt with a vortech. He had the prochamber, and the exhaust was catching inside the chamber. He went to a BBk off road Hpipe and loves it. MAC procducts suck. You get what you pay for. Look on www.corral.net or www.stangnet.com for used parts. If you come to the meet on the 30th you can hear different exhaust.

I've not had good luck with BBK stuff. (on 5.0's)
The Catted BBK that I've installed really is a pain! Harder to istall than stock, off-road, and catted Bassani. Besides, the BBK stuff I've seen/used has needed modifications.
For instance: BBK shroty headers..... These things are fine for stock heads, but with larger exhaust ports the welds on the BBK interfear with flow... Mac is not much better, however, their Prochamber will out perform just about everything esle out there.

If you want quality, go for a Bassani or....
VRS. I just picked up a catted VRS exhaust. Stainless steel Dr. Gas/NASCAR design. 2-piece design makes installation a little more difficult, but able to be 'fine tuned' for max clearance. Also, the ball joint exits are large, quality controled. Not like BBK, Mac, etc. The price can't be beat either. Got my SS catted X for $379 shipped. Off-road version is less than the Mac Prochamber, but probably more than the BBK.
One more thing:
H's & X's work about the same to 3000rpm at which point the benifits of the X start to show. The design of the Crossover in the H doesn't allow the gasses to flow between the tubes a well as the X design, this becomes more apparent at high RPM's were exhaust flow is substantial. Simply a better technology. Another reason why X's are quieter, there's less resonance/restriction.
