    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

MAC exhaust louder....

Alrighty, since I am going to be rebuilding the carbs and most likely rejetting due to some performance problems......I was wondering what I could do to make the MAC exhaust a bit louder than it is now. It does not have any baffleing in it, all it has is two tubes stacked on one another and welded, then an end cap and a "mid cap" to hold it in the can.

So, can I simply dril 3-4 holes in the end cap around the exhaust exit?
I was thinking of starting small and working my up in size untill I was content with it. Would this be the best way to do this?
Do you think drilling the holes would require jetting it differently from having no holes at all (stock)?

Just throwing around some thoughts on projects this winter since I am basically redoing most of the bike.

Thanks in advance.
 
Chris, I think that would work. I did the same on my original exhaust befor I switched to the 4 into 1. I used a series of small (3/64") holes probably a dozen. Made a noticable change in tone. Ray
