Most likely your thinking of pacific crest pipe repair. They do pretty good work from what i've been told.

Pacific Crest has a good reputation. There is a KTM dealer here in AZ called "Bernies", that repairs pipes for the same price as Pacific (less the shipping) and they do it while you wait. Even though they are a KTM dealer...they have no problems with "fixing" other brands.

My point...check around locally, you might be surprized at who will do what. :wink:

Why fix a dented pipe? I mean...it's well known that dents in pipes have NO detrimental effect on performance. Actually your pipe is likely to run MUCH BETTER when it's dinged up!!

It's been PROVEN!
:roll:

(btw, that an altogether buffoonery regarding what some portend to be 'fact' from the 'experts'. It's BS.)


Pacific Crest does a good job. Another great State of Jefferson enterprise.

Tell Brett that cc says 'Hi'!


...and he won't have the slightest clue what you're talking about........ :wink:

I will second the Pacific Crest..They fixed a very badly smashed pipe on my old KTM, looked great when I got it back, very quick turnaround :)

Yep. That's the BS I'm talking about.

I don't need a dyno, a publisher, editor and copywriter to tell me dents matter.

That A pipe on A bike tested by A group on A dyno says anything amounts to nada.zip@no-P00P. :wink:

Maybe I'm just speshul! :roll:
