I can't imagine this is true, but a dude at the local shop here says the t6's are life time guaranteed against rust and bluing...I know this ain't true...please confirm...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

 

my buddies t6's are bluing after only about 2hrs.......but it is a lil lean......
tell me more about his warranty?

 

Straight from Toomeys Website Look at very bottom.

Although we at Toomey Racing USA constantly strive to do our best work for each and every customer, in everything we do, we want you to be aware of a few realities regarding the chrome plating we have done to our pipes.

The plating is performed by an outside company and is not in the control of Toomey Racing. We select our vendors very carefully based on our quality tests and we inspect every pipe that goes to plating before and after the plating process to insure quality. When you receive your pipes, they have been double checked for quality.

However, you must understand that the plating process is not a perfect process. It is in the nature of any plating that there might be an occasional flake of the plating material. This is due to the two dis-similar expansion rates of the steel and the chromium. The process is an electro-bonding method which bonds the materials molecularly. If you have any flaking of the chrome,within the first 30 days, the plating company will warranty the plating independently of us at no charge. We will give you their name and number if you need this service. Just don't freak out, it happens.

Regarding bluing: All chrome plating will turn blue when exposed to sufficient heat. Anybody who tells you any different is crazy. It is inherent in the material. We have heard stories of some customers who have friends with another brand of pipes whose chrome never blues. I believe them. The difference here is temperature. We are the only pipe company that supplies you with the "Perfect Jetting Kit" that provides your Banshee with the exact carburation required by this combination. You can be assured of maximum performance because your Banshee will be jetted accurately, and therefore produce the optimum operating temperatures to make maximum horsepower (heat is power). The competing systems do not. Their temperatures are lower and therefore are not producing the best power, or heat, thus no bluing. That's why.

If you don't want them to blue, then run your bike richer. If you want to blow in enough raw fuel to extinguish the combustion temperatures enough to lower the power output so as to not blue the pipes you will have success. (Why would you buy the highest power racing pipes available if you don't want to use all the power? Why else do you ride a Banshee?) We believe the power is the primary goal and the relative beauty of the chrome is strictly secondary. Bluing is not covered under warranty.
