I purchased one of these from Dennis Kirk in late July, 2020. Same great price ($250). It has a few glitches but they are easy to rectify and the price is killer good. It's the second MAC system I purchased.
The first I purchased from Niche Cycle (full price). It was chrome. I harvested the header for my modified stock muffler system. It worked good but it was a hefty price to pay for just a header.
The second (July 2020 purchase) is black. I will be using it to start a new high performance muffler project. I tried the system as delivered to see how it runs.
The one I received may be an anomaly, but it had two significant fit issues.
1. The flange on the header is about 2.5mm too large. It would not fit into the socket in the cylinder head.
2. The muffler clamp is too small. It would not fit over the muffler.
I cut down the flange and used a dyna muffler clamp. The system fit perfect with those two mods.
With the MAC system, the motorcycle is measurably faster. Timed runs show a significant improvement in WOT acceleration. It also seems to have much better part throttle performance. Feels really strong at part throttle. Taking off from a dead stop, cruising, it feels really good.
It is grossly loud. Like it hurts my right ear. I can't ride it without ear plugs. Some folks like the noise, I don't. So I will be using the MAC system as a foundation for my free flowing quiet system.
If you are into the "noise thing", this is a really good price.
