Title: Mac exhaust
Post by Armen on 11/21/19 at 09:00:16

So, it sounds like the Mac works better on a bigger motor. I'll use what I have now (stock head pipe, Ryca muffler) for my not so crazy motor.
Someone had the Mac on closeout on Ebay. Should be here tomorrow.
With shipping and tax, $227!
I'll save it for the 695 top end incarnation.

Great price. Why don't you try it on your current engine? Your bike is so light I doubt you will experience any problems with lack of low-end performance.

I'm not runnin the MAC muffler but the head pipe is workin well on mine. Its so easy to swap out the exhaust, you could do a cool comparo test. I would do that on mine, but I can't tolerate the noise. The MAC muffler is major loud.

The steup I have pretty much attaches the stock muffler to the MAC header, in shall we say, a semi-permanent fashion. It's a royal pain in the keester to remove the muffler from the header. I take it off all in one piece. But you currently have a stock header set up with a muffler, and the MAC system including a muffler. Easy swaparoo. Switch em back & forth a few times and let us know how they compare. 8-)

That really is a great price.

Is it a single walled header? What is the internal diameter? Does the header require adapting?

Ug, I hate loud. Might have to make a combo system.

The MAC header has a 1.75” ID...too large.

I like loud, but the Mac is beyond obnoxiously loud. My pair have both run a stock header with 12” glasspack and 29” baffled fishtail end pipe. Had to baffle it, just the muffler and end pipe made it sound/shake like an antique Huey helicopter.

Tried the Mac muffler... sounds worse than a straight piped smallblock.

Mavig,
Double wall head pipe. Prob same weight as stock. Right now I have a stock head pipe, with a Ryca adapter/mid-section, and a Ryca muffler. The Mac is two piece.
Good news, the system is quite handsome and fits very well. Even uses the same mounting bracket I had made for the Ryca.
Bad news, prob the same weight. Double wall head pipe.
As others have noted, HUGE ID for the head pipe.
Although I haven't lit up the bike yet, consensus seems to be that it's loud enough to get you chain whipped by a Quaker.
I don't see an easy way to make it whiter. Everything is welded together, then chromed.
Ah well.
