CB550 After MArket Exhaust questions
« on: June 21, 2014, 08:08:05 AM »
I am looking to upgrade my exhaust set up - i am currently looking at two optiong, but am open to suggestions as well.

the first is a pair of 4-into-2 headers with no baffle or mufflers

the second is a 4-into-1 mac exhaust

Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.  thanks

No baffle and mufflers is a complete waste of time mate, you'll end up still looking for an exhause system. I wouldn't personally by a Mac, theye are average at best, for the 550 i would be looking at the motogpwerks stainless 4 into 1, a good performance pipe, plenty loud enough and it'll never rust... ;)

Just installed old school electronic ignition on the bike, now I feel like I'm just about ready to do the jetting process!

I have a MAC on my 550, and although it looks great and I feel like guys slightly under-estimate these things for how cheap they are...it sounds like #$%*!
