MAC 4-1 Left Side Header Pipe Arrangement

I've got one slightly used KZ750Ltd with a left side hanging MAC 4-1 exhaust that came in a box. Having some issues getting the header pipe arrangement right. I can't see any markings on the pipes.

Not having any luck getting pics to post today, my laptop is old and dismal, I'll try and get some up soon.
Any words of advice would be appreciated.

I don't believe MAC ever made a left sided pipe.

If the exhaust system is designed for the bike at hand, and is reasonably free of damage, may require playing musical chairs with the headers until they align to fit inside the collector.

Should be able to loosely attach the pipes to the head so they will move enough to determine whether they gather snugly together appropriately for fitment into the collector.

Good Fortune! :)

Thanks Baldy, that was my understanding as well. I'm not 100%, but it looks like a MAC to me, and it's mounted on the left, with a centre stand that matches up appropriately. Could be some kind of bastardization, but it looks to have been engineered to fit.

Patton, thanks for the musical chairs idea, been doing that for a while now though. Thought that i had it, but now one pipe's collar meets flush when hand tightened, and the others don't.
