Multi-piece pipes are a PITA to get bolted in and lined up.

IMHO, if I were you.... Just buy a BBK pipe. I have had all kinds of bad luck with MAC products

I thought they were designed for an easier install...maybe I'll go BBK considering I have BBK shorties. Seems alot of people on here have had fitment issues with BBK more than Mac.

ive had two BBK pipes, and both fit flawlessly. I'm convinced that installation problems with BBK products, comes down to the incompetence of the installer!
