Just wondering if MAC exhausts were any good fit, finish and durability wise.

I have had a couple on different bikes, including the GS1000, but ended up getting a Kerker or Vance and Hines, instead. I think they are both better....

I had a Mac 4 to 2. It was terrible. Sounded bad performed bad. And their customer service was a joke. I never could get the carbs adjusted. Mac told me I was out of luck.

They're nothing special but about the only thing available for many bikes, especially sub-750 GS's. I put a MAC chrome meg on some 4-into-1 header I found on eBay and it worked fine and sounded okay on a GS550. No rejetting needed with the airbox. It would be interesting to see what a muffler shop or a fabricator could bend you out of stainless steel.

Had one on my GS1110ES and it was quiet and did not need any carb adjustments if I didn't open it up.

How about the black headers? Does the paint peel up? Because MAC is the only aftermarket exhaust (if it is another, I don't found it) I can buy for my GS400e 1983 and I can buy a set with black header or chrome.
The black system is more like a ceramic coating than a paint.
It still looked good after 30,000km on a Honda that i purchased.

my 83 gs1100 came to me with a mac 4 into 1, jets and pods. it ran good. the pipes,originally black,were rusty by the time i got it. The baffle was ridiculously restrictive, with openings the size of a nickel, that forced the exhaust to do an s turn inside of the canister. I made a straight thru one that worked well. it gave more power, and still had acceptable sound levels.
