locogato11283 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Good luck. I haven't heard a word out of Tom in months. Last I talked to him he was going to step up production, but I think it's safe to say that didn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notsed Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 ya its sucks, i left him a message on bhq a couple days ago and didnt get a response so i called the number he left in his post about a year ago and left a message. hope he gets back to me, i really like these pipes but i might have to switch to something else.

notsed Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 its in a bad spot, id have to cut the hanger off to do it, ill go get a pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notsed Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 it just cracked on its own, i notices some oil running down it so i took it off and found this, i traced the crack with a pick so it would be visible in the pic, it goes from one end to the other behind the hanger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee_H Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 All mounts should have weld pads on them when you're dealing with thin material, the fix would be to cut the mount off, plate the area, and weld the mount to the plate. Vibration, thermal expansion, and thin ga. steel are the key factors here. Do the repair to both sides, and send the pipes off to get them nickel plated, good as new!

borrink Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Nosted. I haven't been in the pipes for a long time. Please call me sometime and I'll make sure you get squared away. I've never had a pipe split like that. I'm guessing it was some bad steel from the place that ran my pipe dies. Hard to say for sure. Give me a call anytime.
