But not that nice...jeez. I can't see how it could be justified, with nicer sets in the $500 range and MAC pipes running around $300. I guess it was worth it to the guy, must be for a pristine restoration or something.

BETTER performance? That is the first time I have heard that about Mac's (not to knock them). A few good things about OZMs, cornering clearance couldn't be better, you retain the crossover pipe (irrelevant when comparing 4-1's), the oil filter is fully accessible, double head pipes to prevent blueing.

I use a pair of fat boy pipes that i welded on to the end of the headers, and man, you can't get a nicer sound out of an XS. It turns heads where ever you go, and it sounds friggin' fast. And of course, we all know it is. HAHA. But them youngsters have no idea.
I got an original system on ebay with a hand sized dent on the back of one megaphone 2 yrs ago for around $300. Rest of the system is A1 all I need is a chrome heat shield to put over the dent..........just finding the right chrome piece could be a task.
