hearing all your stories about pipes here's mine. A few years ago I purchased a set of pipes from MLB CUSTOMS in Canada I orderd the pipes & was having the heatshields powder coated to match the frame so it took a few months to get them [no problem] well the pipes came in & looked great I installed them went for a ride about 2 miles stopped for gas & one of my heat shields was hanging off I let it cool took it off went home all the bolts welded to the pipes had 1 to 2 threads on them called MLB up they said that the chromer polished the nuts down to far but he was in a hurry to get them to me so he said he was going to send me a new set of pipes I'm thinking WOW what a great vender so a day goes by a week a couple of months so I call [leave message] email about 5 times finally he emails me back & says to send the pipes back & he will repair them & send the wright backso I send them back a day week many months go by so I call email about 5 more times he finally emails me back & said they were at the chromer they should be back any day so a couple of days weeks months go by [over a year all together] I call email over & over again he emails me back the pipes are done & being sent back pipes come back new bolts for the heat shields welded on he never had them chromed [looked like shit] then I get a letter from UPS for a charge of 70.00 for a broker fee which I sent back & said bill sender I have 950.00 in these pipes & had to send them out to have rechromed [another 200.00] finally after over 2 years I will be putting them on the bike. PS: you couldnt imagine all the ball busting I took from the wife & friends over these pipes 27 yrs riding only bad experence KEEP IT IN THE STATES FUCK CANADA:angry:

Well, since we're bashing Canada, we have a Canadien as our Governor here in MI... guess that makes us even dumber than the rest of them Canadiens.

and who in the Hell thought that it would be a good idea to take fighting out of hockey.

It's a shame, cause I was considering the MLB's myself...:(
Glad to have that info...

Michigan has that stupid Graham Cracker lady with her head so far up her ass she can't tell that she isn't in Canada anymore.
She is the second(maybe third) reason I left Michigan!!!

there is no way on earth I would have sent those pipes back to those pricks for a heat shield after waiting that long

Street walkers has been a pipe company that I have been pushing more and more. They make a nice pipe and its something you won't see everywhere.

I haven't noticed any flame throwing yet! - my only issue is that I may have to get mine patched from time to time cus I sometimes drag the underside of the collector pipe - other than that though I love em - also no, or next to no, popping on decel - I actually miss that a bit! :2thumbs:

My set throws flames and pops like a 50 cal. when I decel...hmmmm maybe my bike is running too rich. I also drag a lot...love the pipe but I may look at an extra bend to lift the low spot-will see :confused:
