hooker trouble makers quality?
i just purchased a set fo hooker trouble makers pipes. i had them on for no more than 75 miles and the chrome started to pit in the middle of the pipe. it looks like a bad skin burn. it is right where the pipe and the shield meet. has anyone had a problem and how did hooker handle it? i really hope they will give me a refund, or possibly trade for a forbidden ceramic pipe. what do you think?

there it is again. i've heard of many people having problems with those pipes and the chrome. did you just get the pipes from them when they were having that 75% off sale they just had?
you should reach out to them as quick as possible before they shut down their motorcycle operation for good .

Heck I bought a set of Yaffe X-pipes, and went through 2 sets because of crappy welds. The pipes just basically "fell" off because the welds just broke. Although they did respond after every call, the 3rd set I got I never even opened the box and sold them on ebay because it just wasn't worth it.
A guy on another forum swore he would never buy V&H's again for a bad fit and poor quality too. It's not just Hooker, they all have issue's at one point or another.
Call them a.s.a.p. as Alain stated, it's only time before they are out of stock.

Bagged, not for nothing, I just called 270 781-9741 (Tech Service) and got right through.
Also try 270 782-2900 (Custom Shop) or 270 781-9741.

When I called them before I ordered mine, I was probably on hold for like 20 minutes the first time. I was at work so I hung up and tried again later. The second time, I was on hold for like 10 minutes. I did get through though. Just be patient, they will answer eventually. So far, I have had no problems with mine either, but they are the black ones, and I have heard that the majority of the problems with Hooker pipes, are with the chrome.
