    If you are looking for an original 4-2 Exhaust system, there is not much out there. As in the previous post V&H makes a 4-1, however the pipes are likely single walled and will discolor. My system was stolen off my back deck by an unscrupulous scrap metal dealer early one morning. I did not want a 4 into 1 system and ended up scouring a local MC junkyard til I found the headers that would fit. The pipes were shot and I had to cut them off. I had two sleeves welded on and ended up with a set of slip on mufflers. The mufflers were made by Mac and came with an adjustable mounting bracket. I had the headers re-chromed and had to do a bit of McGuivering to get the whole thing to fit. I also found a set of the cover plates at the junkyard and had these re-chromed as well. Had to get the mounting nuts welded onto the system. All in all I was very pleased with the result. It looks original and no one can tell that it it is not. All in all, with the chroming and the pipes, and the used set at the junkyard it cost me just under $500. The originals were in dubious condition and badly rusted. They would have likely cost more to refurbish. Mac is not the only supplier of mufflers, but they had a set that looked original with a sliding mounting bracket and the baffles are removable unlike the originals.
