Rinehart’s Color Changes
Black to Copper and Back to Black.

The end cap when new was black.
At 8200 miles it’s now a copper color.
Rinehart sent me a replacement N/C
that according to them will remain black.
Thanks Rinehart for standing behind your product.

RE: Rinehart’s Color Changes
New endcap looks good. I am thinking about getting the staggered Rineharts and was wondering what you thought about your pipes. Would you buy them again?
How was customer service? Quality of the pipes. etc

RE: Rinehart’s Color Changes
Just curious, only have a couple thousand miles on my bike, most with my Rineharts.
How long did it take them to change color? So far mine are fine and still black.

RE: Rinehart’s Color Changes
I have the same discoloration problem on the lower pipe of my staggered duals. I guess I'll have to give Rinehart a call and see what they can do. My real concern is that I got a bit aggressive with my cornering and have ground down the set screw that holds the endcap in. Probably going to have to get a tap set to pull the bad end cap off.

RE: Rinehart’s Color Changes
The guys at BUB / Rinehart definitely stand behind their products. I had a problem ,with what I can chalk up to metal fatigue, at the point where my front slip on
connects to my front header pipe. My dealer and I got in touch with Rinehart. We emailed them a couple of photos. They said they would replace the muffler, granted it was out of warranty by about 6 months. I figured that they would send me a new muffler and that I would change out the end cap so it would match my
purple one at the back. Hell No. They sent me a brand new set at zero cost to me. The new end caps do look blacker than the original ones. I will be reinstalling
them today.

I like the looks and sound of the Rinehart’s staggered much better.
The HD service department and articles I have read convinced
me to do the 2 into1 for performance reasons. Lots of torque in all gears.
No problems with Rinehart’s service at all. Yep, I would buy them again.
Great quality product so far less the end cap color.

As I recall the color change started maybe around 2500 miles or so.
I was told my new end cap should remain black.
They must have done something different in the manufacturing?

RE: Rinehart’s Color Changes
For some reason only the lower cap has changed on mine. I've thought about switching the two out so they match. Actually truth be told I parked next to a guy with a Black Cherry Pearl Road King with Rineharts a few weeks back. The discolored tip was almost a perfect match to his bike, I joked that I'd call the guy when I had a matching set for him and we'd trade.

RE: Rinehart’s Color Changes
Heat evidently changes the end cap colors.
The rear cylinder gets hotter than the front so
the lower one on the 2 into 2 exhausts will change first.
I wonder if they make chrome replacement end caps.

RE: Rinehart’s Color Changes
twofish. Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. If you don't mind teaching me, why are the staggered not as good as a fit.
My plans were to change the intake (possibly Ness Big Sucker) and put the rinehart staggered pipes on my 08 superglide. Am I going to have issues down the road?
