    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...

MAC exhausts ?

Forum Sage
Anyone here buy a mac exhaust, and if so what exactly did it come with. Did it come with 4 exhaust flanges to mount the headers to the block? Did it come with various bolts and straps to mount the exhaust to the rear set? I bought one from eBay from a salvage yard who said it was new just had a few scratches, which is fine but never came with instructions or any kind of hardware just headers and a megaphone. So to my dismay I can not mount it to my bike without some sort of flanges to hold the headers to the block.
 
I know you are annoyed with not getting the full package but don't you have the flanges from your old exhaust?

yeah i cut a pipe to get a flange and to find out the old flanges are to big and slide over the new stuff..... i pissed

I recently had a MAC Turnout (4into2) system on my GS750EC. It could not be taken apart. The flanges were already on the headers and it mounted using only the flanges and rear bolt from the stock muffler.
Hope it helped!
 
I just picked up a 4 into 2 MAC for my girlfriend's 81 GS650GL and the flanges are already on the headers also. All that is supplied was the headers and the two mufflers and the muffler clamps. Will be installing it next weekend and it looks easy enough.
BTW, I had to pick up the exhaust gaskets.
 
Thats not a MAC exhaust then no matter what they said. If it is then they modified it as every MAC exhaust I ever bought NEW came with the flanges on the headers. I hade to use my bolts (I always put in new ones anyway). I also always get the coupler for header to muffler and brackets to mount to stock bolt holes with a new bolt. Send that puppy back if you can and buy a nice new one from MAC or local dealer. The 25 - 50 bucks saved is not worth aggrevation.
