    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.

I'm looking at different options for exhausts, and saw the mac tri-y 4-2-1, was just looking for some feedback from anyone who was running one.
 
I am not familiar with their 4-2-1 system but Mac exhausts do not have the best reputation.
I had a chrome 4-1 system that had a vibrating baffle, a poor fit at the collection box and the chrome started to flake on the #1 header.
 
Thanks Steve, I had heard as much. I was just wondering as they are the only tri-y headers that I have been able to find for the 81+ 16 valves.
 
It's a 750E. I've found more than a handful of 4-1 exhausts. That's not the problem. I was just very specifically looking for a 4-2-1. The reason being it links the 1&4 cylinders and 2&3 cylinders, which tends to produce some nice power throughout the rpm range vs just at the top end. Unless the gs has a non-traditional firing order that I don't know about. :)
 
4-2-1 exhaust is going to give you better performance over a 4-1 exhaust as the scavenging is better
 
If you went true performance gain Mac is not the answer. One of my bikes has a 4-2-1 by Micron nice pipe. Mac is only a cheap alternative to stock IMO.

Scavenging, that's the word I was looking for. 530 am isn't the best time for tech talk I guess hahaha. So does anyone have any recommendations besides Micron? Mac was like I have stated the only 4-2-1 I had been able to find. Am I better off just having one custom fabricated?
 
I'd just pick up the Vance & Hines. Any advantages of a 4-2-1 on the low end would be VERY minimal on a basically stock engine.
