Still have a small leak to hunt down the passenger side, most likely it's at the flange, since I applied a thin layer of rtv...and I couldn't find any leaks in the header like the driver side. Gonna try a seal kit for the hydroboost, since I've read a few things saying what I'm experiencing is the apply piston seal leaking.. and a $40 seal kit is a lot better than having to drop $250-300 on a new unit. Need to hook up the +12 tail light feed for the cruise and find a spot to mount it, And figure out why the hell the passenger side headlight is so wonky.. then I'll tackle the AC this winter... Looking at getting the new Holley box when it comes out. But it's running great so far, no real issues to speak of, other than the knocking is still present. So I'm going to keep an eye out for a new engine just in case. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

3rd times the charm. Got this back from them last Friday with a leak in a different spot. Their CS has been really helpful and in hopes of actually getting it fixed for good...I'm driving up to the sw facility in streetsborow Friday morning. And hopefully I'll have e the truck back together Friday night and I'll FINALLY MAKE IT TO CC&C Saturday morning. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Looking for a set of lontubes, ypipe and muffler back exhaust for my dad's truck doesn't have to be nice or stainless, truck is used as a DD and weekend towing.. the stock exhaust is stating to pop and rattle, so it's time to replace it. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Yoooo I need one for the sonoma Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I can't get the Sonoma finished so maybe I'll take the bike out....either my Kawasaki, or possibly steal my dad's 2018 Harley while he's out of town Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Emailed them last night and was told they found an issue with the flange, fixed it and I stead of getting sent down the line to have the collector repaired it got sent straight to shipping... So I get to send it back... I'm glad they are making it right, but it's annoying to have the truck down again. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Got the header back.... And immediately noticed the collector had not been touched. Instead it looks like they replaced the flange that mates to the head.... Double checked to see if I was just blind... And it's actually leaking worse than when I shipped it off.. going to call tomorrow morning to see if I can just take it up there and show them where it's leaking.... I guess their repair guys are just incompetent since the work order clearly states "collector was leaking, check for leaks and repair" Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Truck has been sitting like this since last week..just got an email saying the header will be delivered today. Not sure if they repaired or replaced it. But it is out for delivery.. So today after work I gotta pull the big ass ypipe out, fix a few little holes I found in it and then shove the header back in. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Hopefully I get a header in the mail this week so I can get the sonoma fixed and I'M IN! If not....well....i dunno.

I actually want a newer Kawasaki meanstreak. Basically the same bike buuut a different style that appeals to me more than the classic cruiser. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Yeahhhh,if they had been a cheap set like the original eBay short tubes I was running I wouldn't have even bothered.. but these are just a little pricey to say screw it
-
Well they are going to be covered so that's cool... I'm assuming it will be fixed properly or replaced. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Gotcha makes sense. Just kinda pisses me off that I paid the price for a "quality" product from a reputable company and I'm getting ignored by their customer service like this.. I've email SW again with the video attached. And if they won't cover it. I'll be switching over to the flowtech stainless longtubes which are only $599 vs $1,200. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
-
cheapest for replacement would be $1,200 I can't imagine best case would cost more than $2-300?

Bought it december 2016 installed it around april/may 2017 truck was stolen in july 2017 and it's been sitting until july 2018 when I reinstalled it on the new truck.

Contacted Alex, he's currently busy and referred me Jon Moore, awaiting his reply. I've also contact CPW which is who I bought them from. as suggested on another forum. I'm not a welder, but where this leak is looks like it will be a bitch to fix.

It's my dad's race car. Sold it like 10 years ago, recently bought it back and is rebuilding it. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Well, the time has come to finally list something here.. It's a 96 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 chassis/tins with a 2002-4 Vulcan 1600 engine. Has custom paint that pictures don't do it justice (some of you may have seen this bike at CC&C or the 614 meets last year) it's a copper pearl over black, but I call it root beer. Acrylic enamel paint. My father did the engine swap to get a little more power and an extra gear. Has 43k miles and has a few aftermarket parts V&H pipes iirc, scootworks air filter, thunder mfg Dash mount ignition. And not pictured I still have the heat shields for the pipes, back rest and crash bar. I'm only listing because I want something different, been riding this bike since 2013. CHEAP AS SHIT ON INSURANCE at 25 I'm only paying $8 a month. And gets around 30mpg +-5 Have it listed for 4,100 on FB 3,400 for CR Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

My expensive ass stainless works long tube headers have developed a REALLY bad leak at the merge/collector. I emailed them Thursday about the warranty, they have not gotten back to me other than asking for pictures of the crack, which is near impossible since it's in the middle where the four tubes come together... I need this repaired asap but I'm not sure this can be repaired without cutting the merge off. So is there anyone here that is capable of repairing a 304 stainless header this week???
-
Probably. It's a pretty damn big leak, but I can see it..
-
Well ain't that some shit... Drove it for a week and now I've found a broken weld in the collector merge on the driver side....like a really big leak. Contacted stainless works to see about coverage on warranty. I wouldn't think the center piece of the merge would crack from abuse, if it was the outside of the collector that would make sense...but I dunno. If they won't cover it under warranty would anyone here be able to fix it for me? If they could do it on the truck that'd be fucking awesome:dumb:

Anyone else going to the car show at the toy barn this Saturday? I signed up just for shits and giggles.. got an email this morning saying to bring my truck :lolguy:

My bumper is super janky. And I it's not lining up properly. Also I think some of the issue is with the grille. The bumper is all the way forward and still hitting the grille.
-
I ended up not going it started Storming here around 730. I just don't like getting wet 😂

She's "done" officially. Drove to Gahanna after bleeding the brakes, did ok.. had a little slip in the transmission under load, tcc wasn't working and I think my hydroboost is shot. BUT I've got trans fluid, it looks a little low and I've had slip when it's been low before. Tcc I think is related to the switch. And I still have brakes just lots of pedal effort. So I WILL be at cc&c in the morning if anyone has experience with hydroboost... Come have a poke at it please. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
