CVO tip vs SE Tip

I've had 2 sets of exactly those tips and both had peeling chrome after 2 years.  it begins on the right side.  Watch for it when washing and waxing after 5k miles or so.  It's inevitable.  I've seen 2 other sets do the same thing. I was going to have them stripped and powder coated this year but HD came out with the black SE tips with screamin eagle script.  I switched to those for roughly the same cost of powdercoating.  I was told that the peeling chrome is due to the expansion and contraction of the billet aluminum with the heat of the exhaust.  The chrome can't expand and contract at the same rate so it cracks and peels.

I think your talking about the 3 1/2 in Billet tips, I had a bucket full of bad ones removed from 65115-98b mufflers I have never encountered a bad 4in end cap and I have handled dozens of used ones.

That's good news.  And you're right.  They were 3.5".  All of them.  :2vrolijk_21:

Was this off the shelf material that you made these attachment rings from? Or do you have a press/tool & Die type machine?

Nice Job on the Adapters, They are an obsolete part but there are a lot of them available if the dealer is not 2 lazy to scrounge some up I think my last batch came from Los Vegas or Reno.
