About 2 years ago I looked into fishtails, forget who I talked to, but
they said they stopped selling them 'cause they were crap. Didn't mount
up right, chrome peeled, ect. sort of dissapointing at the time, Mac
must've come out with these within that time. They sound cool, esp.
since they mounted up all right. like I said, I'll keep it in mind,
HMMM pay bills or get a new set of pipes?.....

| Kev, Overall I am pleased with the look and quality of the MAC fishtails. For $200 a pair they are hard to beat. I will probably get used to the sound. I had become accustomed to my friend Gary's stock Ambo and Eldo mufflers, which are pretty subdued by most standards. It was kinda' amazing to hear the sound of my Ambo with those Macs. Of course, as a few others have pointed out it's one thing to fire the bike up in front of the garage and get all the echo, and another to have it out on the open road. I guess I am going to have to ride it for a while and see what kind of comments I get from the neighbors when I fire it up at 7:00 AM! In any event I plan on taking the bike around to some of the various Motor City biker get-togethers and putting a few Hogs to shame. I once told a friend's kid who had just heard his first Ducati, "that's what Harley riders dream their bikes sound like when they go to sleep at night". The way things are going I'll be able to say the same of my machine! Kevin Graf wrote:
