Topic: CB400F Exhaust Options

[TRPLE]

Hello Forum -

I've currently got a period Kerker on my 400.  The bike is in great shape, and the pipe is a little ratty.  I tolerate it because I love the sound.  Unfortunately, the muffler keeps getting worse.  I've begun researching alternatives, but I'm struggling.

I'm aware of the Motad and the Marving.  They'd be OK, but I don't think they're particularly interesting for the price.

The MC-Again is beautiful.  While I'd be willing to pay their price, I'm completely turned off by a $500 unit that requires additional high-temp or powder coating.  That's a stretch.

I love the look of the stock sweeping header, but the stock pipe doesn't make the noises I like.  What I would like to know, is there an aftermarket muffler that I could use with this?

Ultimately, I'd really like to hear reader's opinions of their systems.  If there are photos, all the better!

Thanks!

I have a MAC exhaust that came with one of my 400fours.  Here is a link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-CB400-4-1-Chrome-MAC-Exhaust-System-CB-400-F-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem230bc24336QQitemZ150521135926QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Larry, how do you like that MAC?  They're very prevalent, but I can't say I've ever really looked at one or heard one in person.

Sounds good(sort of racy) but I actually prefer the quieter stock sound.  Quality is not as good as stock and the header design is no where near as stylish as stock.  But it is a suitable replacement considering the cost of a new stock system. 350 shipped is good.    There are both black and chrome, I have the chrome.  If I were building a cafe I think I would go for the black. I'd send a photo but the bike is covered and winterized. I've only ridden one day this year, getting soft in my 60's ...Larry
