ICULOKN Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Brand New Set right from CPI. Small Dent in Left pipe you can see when mounted. The words CPI are on the inside of the pipe towards the motor on each side. No Hardware at all... Dont know if its the guy I got them from on EBAY or what, box looked directly from CPI. Trying to return these for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2001Stroker Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 You sure they're genuine CPI? Maybe they were put on the inside because of copyright laws. Kinda hard to think they just stamped the wrong side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to return these for sure! Several of my friends have bought CPI pipes and have been really unhappy with the quality of the work. They have never had two pair fit the same and several of them have came with no hardware at all. LOL that why i have stuck with the Toomey's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL that why i have stuck with the Toomey's Yeah everyone I talked said the power is better from these so thats why i went with them. My T5's on my other bike look WAY better even after 8 years to me! Should have just got some T6's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider1026 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 yea i will agree that the quality of the cpi's are not that great.. it sounds like someone on ebay is buying factory defect pipes and reselling them as new... hence the dent, and the stamps on the wrong sides.

blanco25 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Ive dealt with cpi directly and if you tell them your situation they'll work with you. I had small bore and big bore pipes from them a loved them. Told them i decided to go to a different motor and i needed another set of small bores. I sent them back a set of used big bore ones i used for about a year. They turned around a set me a new set of small bore for free all i had to do was pay shipping. How much did you pay for them?

blanco25 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 $525 to my door. Anyone have the contact info for CPI? Custom Pipes Inc. 3908 West Willow Creek Road Morgan Utah 84050 801-829-5877 You could have called them directly for the pipes. Ive been know to get sets from them for $300. Ask them for some pipes they refurbished or rebuilt. All my sets i got from them were perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanYE west Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 If you look at CPI's website I beleive there is a option to get the stamping on the inside.. maybe thats what you got.. The small dent is another issue. CPI's customer service is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001Stroker Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 That sucks alot of people are having problems with them. I jugot mine in the mail last week, and they look great. So far, I don't have any complaints with them. The chrome shines nice, but maybe over time that will change. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sand rocket Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I agree 100% there quality is . No hardware one mine, and one of my stinger tube doesn't fit for shit. Call them and im told we offer new stinger tubes for 75 bucks a set plus more to get chrome again. I have talk all of my freinds out of getting them. But the is a good noticable gain in power for them over the t5 i had. I am just picky about my stuff. and for $500+ they should have been perfect.

RIPPEN Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 It seems CPI's are kinda like gambling.. The pair I got were in great condition, have held up nice but were a bit of a bear to install.. The biggest thing I have seen with peoples stingers on CPI's is they allot of the time are uneven.. To turn people away from CPI I think is a bit excessive as they are a great performing/sounding pipe.. I think if the shit aint right make sure THEY make it right.. I have heard they are decent to work with.. RIPPEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
