Mac lead time?

[acee125]

I ordered a set of Mac's a week ago tomorrow. I've called the past two days to see when they will ship and I keep getting told that they have to check with the production manager and call me back. So far I haven't recieved a call back. In their confirmation email they say that they might not have your product in stock but I'm still wondering: Approximately how long have you guys had to wait to recieve your Mac's?

Long ago, someone tried to get a set of Macs and was told they were out of production, but that they would add them to a run of pipes for a different bike. I seem to remember ,it was a while before he got them. Are the coming from Canada or the States.?

Should be the states. I'm in MN and Mac is out of SoCal if I remember correctly...?

It took 10 days for my set of Macs to make it to Ontario. Got them last week. I even went with the cheapest (slowest) shipping method possible.

You must have got one of the last sets. I ordered mine on the 9th. I called them for the 3rd time yesterday and finally got something out of them. They are currently out of stock and they haven't started production yet. I was told it would be about another 3 weeks before they ship.

Check the MACs when you get them. I got a set that were made improperly. The test is the front head pipe. The 2 pipes (Y)welded together  must be flat even across the areas that meet the head. Use a straight edge like a carpeters 3' level or a mirror to check this. Mine must have been welded by a blind man. They were angled out. So mine are useless. They sit showing lousey American workmanship. This is assuming they are made here...?

jason-- run your pipes down to a local machine shop-- the pipes can be tweaked back to correct angle with little effort, and pipes are then good.

chances are,, those pipes were built from a set of numbers on a chart, and with no mock up on site to verify them, you get the build set,as they have no way to check the fit in a factory shop.

teweaking won't work now. I tried flat "grinding" on my saning disc. Then realized the area the flange pushes against(outer donut) was off....thus it was welded ALL wrong. And tweaking would off center the pipes enough that they would not fit the head. Maybe if they were troched and tweaked. But it's too late for that now. I could possibly spend the money for a welder to do the needed repairs. But I have more important things to do now. I will save the pipes because the mufflers can be grafted to rotted out stock pipes in the future. Wouldn't that be a sight.
