Captain_Panic Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 I kind of ruined my baffle today. Playing around with drilling and bending to change the sound. I can always buy another mac mechanical baffle, but I would rather have something that sounds throatier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 I've made glass packs for my mac muffler and still have the materials to make another one If you wanna go that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Panic Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I'm not opposed to the idea. What kind of price are we talking here? And would it be longer than the original mechanical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 First off what bike are we talking here and is it a canister or megaphone? glass pack ends up being the entire length of the can but it's a straight through design with a perforated steel tubing core wrapped in fiberglass mat. The exhaust gasses go right out and the sound waves diffuse through the holes in the perf tube and get deadened by the glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Panic Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 It is a canister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Ok. Whereabouts are you located? Also if you're the texting kinda guy we can continue this conversation that way if you wanna hit me up at 3303389708 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Panic Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Actually I should have been in bed 15 min ago (6am comes a bit too early for my liking). I live in Dublin, but can and will ride damn near anywhere.I can't have my phone at work (can't get into the building with it), so I'll shoot you a text before I hit the hay. I likely won't respond until about 3:40 tomorrow afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Never got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Tell ya what. I'm having a meet and greet the 11th. Bring it up and I'll build you a glass pack then and there. Materials will be about $30 and labor will be cheap. I'll get you sorted out for under $75 If it's the mac canister I'm thinking it Is. The only part I don't have in house is an exhaust reducer that costs $5 at autozone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Panic Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 http://www.ebay.com/itm/MAC-Performance-4-1-4-2-Standard-Baffle-Into-Megaphone-Mufflers-009-0619-/171246469504?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27df15c180&vxp=mtr That was what I had. I can get the "performance" model for the same price. I was just seeing if anyone had any cheaper ideas. I currently love the way it sounds after I screwed it all to hell, but it can't breathe well enough to go past 6k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 What exactly did you do to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Panic Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Broke it in half. Then hammered it back together. Then it separated again, so I hammered one side about 80% shut, and smashed it all back together. I knew it was likely to go in the trash as soon as I first pulled it.

Gixxus Christ! Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Oh yeah that's way too restrictive. If you wanna get another mac baffle go for it. If you want me to convert your can to a glass pack I can do that. If you give me a week or so I'll have my 750 back together and running and you can hear what it sounds like.

Captain_Panic Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 This should essentially be the same thing:http://www.ebay.com/itm/MAC-Performance-4-1-Competition-Baffle-Into-Canister-Style-Mufflers-009-1319-/171339526568?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27e4a1b1a8&vxp=mtr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Panic Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 And I would love to hear it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Pretty similar. I want to hear it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
