Since Von Braun died in 1977, I doubt he had anything to do with the design of this exhaust. :nixweiss:

I have the Von Braun Radio Flyers slipons.  They sound good but after a 1400 mile trip the Rivets wore thru the name plate!  Had to ship them back and they only paid for a portion of the shipping.  A buddy has the same slipons and has experienced the same issue.  Also the powder coat is extremely easy to chip. I have had to replace one tip already.  Honestly they aren't worth the money I spent on them.

So they're just like the rockets von Braun developed: only good for one trip.

Yea, you're right, but when I went to the web site what I saw was pipes that were round and solid on the end with a hole underneath about 4" from the end.  :nixweiss:

Good to know....I was considering the Radio Flyers for my new ride. Glad I went with Monster Rounds.

......and then there is the lame name. Isn't that what they called a little red wagon a few decades ago?  Doubly glad to have not ordered them.
