Minister of Death Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Thanks guys, so it sounds like they are the same thing. I like the black even if it ends up looking like crap. I want to move more towards a "sleeper" look. I don't care about the additional money for the chrome, its just that I like the black. As soon as they get hot the pipes are going to turn into different crappy looking states if its chrome, painted, powder coated, whatever. I'm looking to have it dig its own grave and eventually destroy it... not rub it down with a diaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXBlessedWithDeathXx Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Dumb question Death, but what do you mean by welded hanger? On the older CPI pipes the front exhaust hangers "TAB" would brake "i have "1" so an easy fix was to weld them and fuck up the chrome.

xXBlessedWithDeathXx Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 if you are not a fan of the bling, whats all that shit on your clutch side of your engine and the trail techs? if you want inframe drag pipes, get some shearers. they rev out better, they fit way better than the cpis ever will and the stingers wont burn holes in your air filters... :thumbsup: its not a bling thing that i dont like. i like the billet. i just dont like chrome pipes. is seems no matter how much time you put into cleaning them and keeping them dry that the fucking things rust along the seam of the pipe. you thing its gone then the next you know it comes back. i just dont like rust. as for the sheer, i`m a fan of the CPI. i like where it pulls, the way they sound, the shape and pipes are kinda expensive these days so the Sheers couldnt be anytime soon if i wanted them.

My Cascade CPI's look as good as the day I got them. There is absolutly no blueing around the necks of the pipes and no rust along the seems. There is a reason why cascades cpi's and shearers cost more then the chrome ones directly from the mfg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomey Banshee Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) My CPI's look outstanding as well. No blueing, nothing. 8 years of riding. I do minimal maintenance to em and they look great, meaning when I wash my bike after riding I may hit them with some chrome polish, maybe. 5 minutes. I dont know why you would get black that look good for maybe a season and look like dick when you can get set of good chrome pipes that look good for good. Poor mans CPI's r still CPI's but without the bling. Edited June 7, 2009 by Toomey Banshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
