Fripple - that's bizarre. I have never had this problem. Perhaps the rubber from the melted shoes was "different" somehow...???... Sorry if the suggestion stained your pipe. Again, I have never had that problem.....

Are you putting chrome heatshields on the black pipe?

I think that looks cool as hell.

I saw one yesterday with the chrome heat shields. It looked ok. I'll probably stick with black though.
