If I understand this 'pipe' correctly, it started life as a normal Ron Woods Pipe, then The Bom, altered it into a drag pipe, right? I'm not sure Ron Woods deserves much credit for what The Bom was able to do. When I read the words "The NEW RON WOODS DRAG PIPE" I like anyone else in the world would think this means Ron Woods came out with the product. But as we all know, Ron Woods is happy to sit on their asses and not develop anything new. I think credit needs to be given where it is due, Ron Woods deserves a kick in the ***, and The Bom needs a good pat on the back and a beer or something.

There are a few companies out there who are developing new products, those are the people we all need to rally around. Anyone else, dump 'em.

 

If you read my first post I did give all the credit to the Bom, but I just posted it as the Ron Woods drag pipe because that is what it is called. The Bom designed it but Ron Woods still makes it and sends them to the Bom for him to sell. I didn't give any credit to Ron Woods.

 

Any pics? Is it ceramic coated steel? Is it a top end only exhaust? Does it have the notorious hitting the frame on big jumps bend?

 

Its ceramic coated and doesnt hit the frame. From what I understand Woods produces the pipe for The Bomb. Its basically a woods pipe without the canister but it uses the Woods headers and midpipe. We are back to the improving or mods to the original design.

 

I saw first hand the new in frame drag pipe at Sand Mountain. Its nice. It is built by Ron Wood. Its the same head pipe, same mid section with a reverse cone at the end of the pipe instead of the muffler. The Bom deserves credit for getting Ron Wood to re-design thier existing pipe into an in-frame drag pipe. I'm not so sure that Ron Wood deserves a kick in the pants over this. Quite simply, there are now changes in the wind at Ron Wood, including the new 14:1 CP piston with gapless rings. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

you can only get the pipe and the piston from thebom. ron wood does not have any of these they custom made them for jeff. and ya i got lucky and got the first pipe and piston from jeff[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
SO if anyone needs one call jeff. ill have mine together tonight.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Actually the 14:1 piston is available from any RWR dealer, and so is the drag pipe. I just ordered them myself. Like I said before, thebomb get the credit for getting Ron to change and advance his products. As many of you know, I am involved is other types of design improvements for the DS. The benefit from it is that you get the kudos from folks for the design change and even a brief window of opportunity for sales. Unfortunatly, like with parts that I design, the manufacturers of the parts will eventually offer the new designed parts to all of thier dealers. The same is true with Gas Caps, thumb throttles and many other parts.

 

so how many did you have to order to sell?? 8 or so??

 

I had to order a lot.
