Hello,

Very new to the board, as well as to my 650. I am looking for some exhaust options, but have been unable to come up with much. I ran across MAC Performance, and was able to find a supplier with some 2-1 and 2-2 systems in stock. Anyone have any experience with MAC products? Has anyone dealt with www.nichecycle.com ?

The two that they have in stock are 2-1 with black head pipes, and a chrome megaphone style muffler
www.nichecycle.com/Pro...eq=&key=it

And then they have a 2-2 full chrome, but I think the 2-1 might look a little better
www.nichecycle.com/Pro...eq=&key=it

If anyone can throw me a little info on this, I would really appreciate it. They also have some reverse cone shorty mufflers, but my head pipes are on their way out.

Thanks!!!

Not real high quality but they work OK, had a set on a 73 a long time ago. Dont expect much in the way of a power improvement. Chrome will discolor & rust, Id get the cheaper black ones myself. If you get the chrome drown them inside with header paint, it will help some.

gordon your pipes look great and I really love my fork brace. my only concern is the choice of metal. Steel is going to rust, then look like poo. i guess ceramic coating is an option
