The new Mac mufflers I have are for the 360/400. They are from a replacement exhaust system, but I used shorties with home made baffles. Stock types are way too quiet for me.

Got some brand new Mac mufflers I will sell for cheap because the shipping will be high. drop me a line if you are interested. They have never been mounted. Bill

Got the baffles built and installed. Noisier than anticipated but still quieter than the original baffles. Fuel mixture went leaner too. Idle mixture had to go about 3/4 turn richer. Haven't done final jetting on mains because I haven't ridden it yet. Need to finish brakes and clutch...

Have to be after Christmas. I'll get on it as soon as I can.

I've still got the seat off mine. (went solo) The pan is in good shape and it has an almost new professionally done cover. The front seat area has been cut down a bit but still has plenty of padding. Not as big a step as the later models. Grainy vinyl cover so you don't slide around on it...
