I was actually very pleasantly surprised at how well made these seemed.  Looked them over closely before installation.  Really (really really) nice machining, very good tolerances for the installation, and beautiful chrome.  I had a credit with them to cover more than half the cost so it "felt" better too.

All of my dealings with EP have been excellent, as have others I know.  They seem to have their chit together on the customer service end of things, and good product too.  They were the best price by a good bit on the pipe I got for the V and with free shipping to my door in a couple of days. Same with the RH's for the big bike.  Straight up company.... :2vrolijk_21:

Glad you are happy with the pipes...I know you loved the White Bros, but I'm going to have to be honest with you...they were detracting from the Red Bike's looks there, buddy.... :P ;)

Hehe, I still like the look of the ovals better then these round ones.  But these are ok.  And I'll get used to them.  I do like the chrome grooved caps a lot better then the dark ones that came with the mufflers.

Even with the red bike not running ideally right now I did notice that the Rineharts moved the torque curve up about 400 RPM from what the others did.  There's a bit more work and another tune in the future.  So hopefully some new happy medium will be found.

I seemed to very much luck out on the exhaust system itself though.  A current part number (not one of the old versions with the breakage issues).  Scored the set on eBay from someone for a couple hundred bucks less then I found from any vendor.  That's what really cinched the deal to go ahead and change them now.

Must have missed their turn outs.  It was their ball milled (grooved) caps that I ended up using.  I personally prefer the shape of an oval muffler.  With round ones I like this kind of cap though.  Couldn't get my old White Brothers mufflers anymore though.  The pipe's heat shields on my bike were not in great shape anymore and the mufflers were surprisingly dinged up.  So it had become time to make a change.  Even with the compromise made to have them I'll always do true duals.  So the Rineharts ended up seeming the best option of what was available.

Great looking end caps, Don.  :2vrolijk_21:

I would say I am jealous, which I am, but I refuse to admit it, even though I just did.

D@mn, I love those end caps!  Do you have a link to where you got them?  Might have to try to score some of those before HS.

Also, I agree with Terry, the E-series suck aesthetically.  I can say that now since Terry stuck his neck out, first. :huepfenlol2:

Thanks, Gary.  Those things look like twice the quality of the genuine Rinehart chrome end caps and cost $30 less.  They are presently on the way to my doorstep. :2vrolijk_21:

If mine are any indication they really are nicely machined parts too Brian.  Inside and out look like beautiful work.  The fit is perfect and the look (to me) was a lot better than the OE dark caps.

You're welcome always like helping others feed their OCD. :2vrolijk_21: ;D Which ones did you get? I just noticed on their site that they have some caps that are supposed to increase HP/TQ by 2 - EPC Afterburner End Cap Tips for BUB Rinehart True Duals.
