There aren't a lot of other options for a 4-2 that I know of. The MAC system are fine. Not too fancy, not too expensive. The MAC 4-1 on my bike is more than 20 years old and it's holding up.

There are much more expensive options where people frequently complain about poor quality. It seems like folks tend to get what they expect from MAC, as I don't read many complaints.

But if you are ok with a 4-1, the Delkevic systems are popular.

The available choices also depend on which displacement his LTD has.

It also might help to know what the OP means by the word, good.
Good = looks good?
Good = more power?
Good = very light weight?
Good = long lasting finish?
Good = easy to install?
Good = easy to change oil?
Good = keep the center stand?
Good = sound?
Possibilities abound.

If it is a 900/1000, a black or chrome Zacross is also a choice.

Possible fitment. I don't know anything about this exhaust manifold & I'm not sure if a ZR1100 muffler system is interchangeable with a KZ1000.
I'm pretty sure a Zephyr 750 system can be used on a KZ750 as they use the same engine numbering system (KZ750EE)., but I don't know if the same is true for a 1000.

no,no,no slayer61, a Titanium Win Maccoy made by Bull Dog is a state of the art exhaust!

My Marving looks like a (compare) scrap metal exhaust.

There are quite a few choices for 4:1, some of which are quite expensive.
There are far fewer choices for 4:2.

I was pretty proud of my Motogpwerks pipe, but those are stunning pipes!
