I never liked the Mac Pro-chamber, but I think it's what ever you think personally sounds better...
The Bassani X is stainless and will last longer than the Mac Pro-chamber...

Well since you are switching from a non catted pipe to a catted pipe one would normally think you would lose a little power. I on the other hand think it will be very minimal based on the fact that the power chamber design is almost like running an extra muffler in your exhaust system. Maybe another member who has made this switch can add some input here. The fact still remains that you will be stepping into an X-pipe which is built far better than what Mac builds as pretty much every item Mac builds is low doller and low quality.

in an old 5.0 magazine test, the Prochamber made more power than a bassani x, bbk x, or a dr. gas x. The only one that was better was the Hedman. The bassani did tie the prochamber for torque though. Ask Bassani about their new metallic cats that on a 600 wheel hp car only sucked up like 6-7 hp over their old design, and 9-10 hp over an offroad, the new pipes come with off road tubes also for the track ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

i would stick with the prochamber. Quick88lx on here has had all three H,X, and the pro chamber. Seat of the pants test gave the pro chamber the win, thats what he currently has on, sounds good too

Thought i'd add my 2 cents.....had a prochamber and flows but sold the prochamber.
Wish i had it back...loved the sound and the diff in performance would probably quite minimal unless you have other major mods.(i.e forced induction of some sort)
Either way the sound more than made up for any loss in power.
My opinion.
