sandman Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 CPI must have a contract with FMF to build there pipes because the quality or lack there of looks strikingly familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yyz Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 I was just about to buy a set of CPI's cause the chrome on shearers sucks, what can I do to make sure I get a good set? 512061[/snapback] ask for steve at power yamaha in sublimity, or. tell him you want a good set with no scratches and good chrome... their ebay price was 529.95 plus shipping. http://www.poweryamaha.com/ yyz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yyz Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 I agree on the shitty quality. Mine seem to be ok. there is an issue with my silencers not mounting at the same highth. 512127[/snapback] on both of our sets, we had to overdrill the hole on the right silencer mount to let it drop further down... it seems that it comes in from an angle pointing upward so that it was lower in the front and higher in the back... we couldn't do anything with the left as far as raising it because it was so close to the frame already, and obviously couldn't lower it because it would have been just that much further off from the right... i also physically bent the right one down a little also... this bent the bracket inward a little but it was hardly noticable compared to the height problem... i ended up getting them super close to one another. yyz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbanshee8 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 On my second set of silencers, I ended up drilling out the mounting hole on both silencers, so that I could move the left one up, and the right one down. I never had these kind of problems, with my set of FMF's. It really doesn't matter how good the chrome on the pipes are, because if the silencers fit like the one's I got from CPI, they will still look like shit. They look like Cross-eyed Jr. welded up the CPI silencers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRustler Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 i have the same problem with my pipes. and as for the different size outlets if you notice the chambers are different size's also it is probrobly why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilarious Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 (edited) Thats what tripped me out and made me realize its not the bike thats wack but its the pipes.. And for them to say they are not "show" pipes and are just made for performance is just plain BS. I pay over 500 bucks for something it better have a little pride in the craftsmanship... RIPPEN 512437[/snapback] You think they're that noticable? And here I was thinking "screw it" when I had just started to think that the silencers didnt look that bad. Oh, and sheefreak, looks like some screen door sparkies to me. Will those actually qualify if they get tested by park ranger joe or whoever?
