evidently this subject must have been a silly request, or the obvious which i take it deserves no reply. Hmmmm see what you get when you think out of the box, told to kick rocks.

He was at our Dyno Show last year with his new Betty. He sat through 5 or 6 runs, flicked his hair back a few times, and rode off into the sunset on his H-D.

Hey K Bryant, just got a return E-mail from Lorenzo and he said he is seeking your address for payment of attendance not received for for promoting your event and your use of his name without permission, and especially your misrepresentation of his "Hair Flip".

I've seen pictures of them. They are upswept and tuck in on the sides right? They are also very heave and produce less power than most of the other pipes. I guess they have poser value if you're a poser. They are also expensive as hell.

No I didn't really  I wanted an aftermarket exhaust to produce more HP and reduce weight. Why would you want to put an aftermarket exhaust to loose hp and gain weight? I weigh enough already!

Please take a look at the pictures i took of the technologically advanced y-pipe and tell me what you think. These pics are of the inside of the y pipe.
This is looking in from the other side of the Y pipe

That's unfortunete. Hopefully they will make it right with you. But you probably should have listened to your own 3rd statement from the top....

Just cant believe it, how could you send someone something that is that bad. I am just sick, Think Harry is right , they would make less HP. I guess I could be wrong, maybe those are precision cuts that increase the velocity of the exhaust gases, and at the same time create enough back pressure(just enough) to raise the torque, and make the bottom end lag disappear. That has to be it, cause nobody in their rigth mind would send out a set of hand made pipes without ensuring the the Y pipe collector made some form of a smoooooooth transition.

Send them an e-mail and reference this thread so that they can see how much publicity and Good will advertising they are getting and the fact that we can post this on a few other web sites if they do not take care of you not to mention Goggle will now refer people to this page also! All you want is an "Inspected" pipe with proper welds and cleaned up "Y" Sections. Not the return of the entire system!

ok just wanted to follow up with what has occured with the pipes. I got a email from Jorge at Renegade stating that he had just gotten back from testing and saw the pics of the pipes. He said he was fuming and that while he was away these pipes were built and his welder had taken a short cut. The y pipe was supposed to be machined out , not torch cut. He offered to send me a set of ti cans in addition a new Y pipe. I have to admit that i felt very good about his response. I responded by saying i greatly appreciate his offer but have decided i would rather return the product and credit my account. He has reluctently agreed and gave return instructions. I will continue with this when i see the credit on my account.
