You guys have a lot of work ahead of you. The last owners left a pretty bad reputation... lots bad craftsmanship and unfilled orders. I really like the look of rocket pipes and I hope you guys are able to bring them back to life. I'll buy a set once I start hearing some good reviews.

My Boss didn't know the rep that the company had until after he Bought it. But I have seen what they can do to a stock shee. All i can say is Holy ****. Im gonna put a set on my shee real soon. if any of you guys live in or plan on coming to Texas I'll let you Ride it and see for yourself. One thing you guys need to remember is that this isn't a large production type company. Each set is set in a jig and Tig welded together. so there might be small flaws in the way there built. but it's only looks the performance is not affected. plus we have some other Ideas on how to mount the Silencers. as soon as i get my set i'll post some Pictures.

From what I have heard, the pipe design itself is REALLY good. The problem was customer service and production. The last company started selling more pipes than they could make... then I guess the welding hardware broke down and some pipes were braised instead of welded? I don't know if that was true or not.. The fact they were hand made was never a problem, they just tried to put them out way too fast to fill orders. I heard of silencers breaking off.. mounting tabs cracking...leaking chambers.. and so on.. Your boss could make a really good name for himself if he offered to fix or replace bad pipes made by the last company. Think of it as good marketing.

So firemanhott sold the company {after he and others dragged the company through the mud}. Rockets are really good pipes {and leg burners}, but I'd spend my money on a set of shearers. JMO.
