Does anybody have MAC 4-2 chrome turnout exhaust? If so, how do you like them and do you have any pictures that you could post or email? TIA

I got a used set last year after my 4-1 blew apart at the collector,
at first I didn't like them... too quiet, and an entirely different sound (from the 4-1), but this year I must have burnt out some of the packing, 'cause they're sounding nice and throaty.
As far as I can trace these pipes, they came from Bruce Doucette, on the East Coast, to Courtney Hook on the West coast, to me on Vancouver Island. So Parts get around on this list!
I can send you pics if you want.

Re: 4-2 MAC chrome turnouts
Here's the left side of my buddies '78 XS. He's pretty happy with them. The header pipe did discolour almost immediately, but I'm told that is because the factory header is doublewalled, and the Mac isn't.Originally posted by JohnSg

This machine is for sale if anyone's interested.

I have battery acid spilled on the left muffler. Was hoping I could get the left muffler only as I like the crisscross look. I think that the PO cut them off right ahead of the rear axle.

Brian,
I can't afford another XS11 at the moment, saving for a second garage to store them in, but I'm always curious to see what they are going for and what they look like.
If you have pictures you don't mind sending me, just click on my "Profile" above this text and five lines down where it says "Contact JohnSg" you can select "Click here to email JohnSg" to send the pics. With your permission of course, I'll upload it to "Photobucket" where my online pictures are stored and post it here for all to see. Maybe someone who can afford it right away will see it and contact you.

WinterHawk, if you are trying to identify yiur pipes, they look exactly like the Jardines that I have on my bike. Here is the link to them. http://community.webshots.com/user/john80sg I found the manufacture's name on the mounting tab on the muffler where it mounts up to the footpeg bracket.Comment

Bingo, Thanks a bunch John. I had no idea. In Dennis Kirk book it looked like MAC's. They look like yours. It's the only ones made I've seen that I like. Have to check out a new set and see how much..
Your bikes nice. I like the polished fins on that black finish. Also the Lockart oil cooler. I want one of those to but it seems people don't have an interest in oil coolers these days.Last edited by Winterhawk; 07-20-2004, 07:52 PM."We are often so caught up in our destination that we forget to appreciate the journey."

Brian sent me these pics of MAC turnouts on his buddy's bike which is for sale. The odometer is in kilometers and converts to about 42,118 miles. Looks real nice! Too bad I don't have any room for it.
The following is from Brian (xssiveone):
"I’m selling this for a friend of mine. I've seen it, ridden it, and would not hesitate to buy it, but I don't need, or have room for, another m/c.
This is truly a "turn-key" bike as everything has been done. The owner crossed over to the dark side and bought a Harley. Pics available upon request. $180000Cdn or best offer. Bike is located in Leamington, Ontario, Canada. About 40mi south of Detroit, MI"
