    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Ebay Exhaust to far gone?

If it were 30 or 40 bux It might be worth a chance but at that price I might pass.
I tend to steer clear of auctions where the terms of the sale have a longer description than the actual item being sold.

+1 in agreement with octain
 
Not cost effective -by the time you blast, braze, recontour and paint it, you could buy a new one
 
Sham you not in Florida, I got a gs1100e stock exhaust I?d give ya.
 
Agree I would not mess with it for $140 delivered but that was not the question. The pipe look pretty solid although it looks like a lot of surface rust. Bottom doesn't look too crushed. Also kinda looks like a Yoshi pipe that comes right down under the belly requiring removal of the pipe for oil changes. At $100 delivered and if you need a pipe I would say worth a try.
 
Thanks for the responses! first one i had found in a while in the search for a pipe so thought i would ask.
 
Crap shoot. It's hard to tell from a picture, how bad the rust really is....some sections do look solid, but once it has been aggressively cleaned/blasted, that might not be the case throughout....sometimes, the corrosion from the inside is further advanced than the outside, and aggressive sanding/blasting might uncover tiny holes. On the plus side, if the integrity is there, it will look pretty nice cleaned up & painted black with a few coats of VHT Flameproof ceramic rattle-can paint, and the can polished. The seller doesn't seem sure as to the make, and I'm not convinced that it's either a Kerker, or a Vance & Hines.... design looks good though.;)

Hi,

I'm always leery of ads that read "all it needs is a little bit of this and a shot of that". But it's really hard to say without a visual inspection. Are you feeling lucky? ;)


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
