MAC flare tip slip ons
« on: April 01, 2014, 01:32:08 PM »

Bump...hard to believe no one has used any slip ons.  How about aftermarket exhausts?

I have a pair on my 500 and my 550, I think they look, sound and function great.  Even though I would love to have original exhausts, they do give you better clearance for things like accessing the rear wheel for maintenance and saddlebags.  If I remember, I'll snap a few pics and post them.

Thanks Kenzo, looking forward to the pics.  How did you clamp on to the headers? Have to make your own hanger brackets too?  Guess the pics will tell me, sorry.

Nope, that's the beauty of the slip ons, they just slip right on.  The ID of the mufflers are slightly larger than the OD of the headers.  Cut the headers right and they'll sit a good length down inside the muffler, no joint clamps necessary.  And they include the hanger brackets in the package.

Thanks. So maybe another dumb question, you mentioned "a pair on my 500 and 550" is that a two into one with a slip on each side or...?

Thanks for the pics Kenzo, looks like the 2 into ones are welded to the header pipes?  Nice!
