I find that if you keep the rpm's low they aren't too bad but they are
definately louder than my MAC original repros.

By the way Tom....you going to try and make the Virginia Rally at the end of
June?

I have them on my Ambo....they look good and the quality is OK, but in
stock form they are LOUD! I added some baffles to the end of my header
pipes to try and keep the neighbors happy, and now the setup is still
throaty while being semi hearing-friendly.

These cans don't have the indents for the center stand ears, which will
reduce your ground clearance. I find that I am forever touching down and
grinding the ends of the ears off. I keep threatening to call Mark and
buy an extra center stand that I can bob the ears off of.

Don't know what the Ebay price is, but Mark used to have these at about
$200 a pair, new.

 Hi, all. There is a pair of MAC fish tail mufflers on
Ebay, they are supposed to be specifically for a loop
frame guzzi. I am interested, could use new mufflers,
if the price is right. Does anyone have experience
with these? Are they good quality? How do they sound?
