Hey guys, hopefully this is the last new thread I start for a while...
I have a 77 GS750 and I got a MAC 4 into 1 for her. I put it on a while ago and between replacing parts along with crappy weather I havent rode her too much lately(I live in PA). Since I put new tires on her and started riding harder again, I notice that my muffler clearance absolutely sucks. I attempted to stick a 45 degree elbow inbetween the header and the muffler and it looked great while adding clearance, but when I started up the bike it ran like total crap and I was amazed that this little section of pipe could be the culprit(providing pics, and the pipe was literally only 10" long I think). Note: I realize the header clearance doesnt look too great either but I have had no issues with them, just the muffler itself.
Now I have been looking at various slip-on setups for newer sport bikes but none of them have a 2 1/2" inlet and I refuse to buy a whole new exhaust system. I am up for any suggestions but my question is do you guys think that maybe if I buy a mandrel bent elbow vs the piece of crap I got at the local auto store for $6 it might make a difference? Thanks in advance
