Reinhart True dual install problem.
RE: Reinhart True dual install problem.
Riencarts =SUCK! Lot of labor upon yourself replacing their no-good pipes. CAN U SAY CRACK? Cheap Chinese metal and poor workmanship=CRAP!
It's obvious that you don't care for Rineharts. Do you have any personal experience to make a statement like that. Have you owned a pair or had a chance to talk to them on the phone to see what kind of great service they give. Yes they had a problem with a bracket cracking but they made it good at no cost to their customers. I've had mine for a year now and the quality of the product and chrome is excellent. Can you back up your statement?

I wonder if that's why my wrench told me they were the Cadillac of exhaust??
Mine are still very new and so far so good.

The new design no longer has the bracket welded to the rear pipe. This is the area I have seen that cracks.

RE: Reinhart True dual install problem.
Every company in manufacturing history has had some sort of problem at some point in time. That does not make that product any worse. Of course sometimes you have to speak real slow and clearly to explain this to some people and even then, they just don't get it.

RE: Reinhart True dual install problem.
my rear heatshied was too long as well. i called and karen was very nice. new heatshield fits great. however i somewhat agree that the quality of the product is cheap. every heatshied clamp i had to take back off the bike does not loosen without stripping then you have to cut the clamp and it takes about 2 weeks to get new parts from rinehart. luckily true value had the same brand heat shied clamps. also the cylider head bolts loosen on you so you have to buy locking nuts. and it seems the muffler clamps do not tighten all the way without stripping. i think the actual pipes are fantastic sound and quality, but the hardware to install them is cheap. ibought all new higher grade hardware from true value. other than the hardware issue i love the pipes.

RE: Reinhart True dual install problem.
My Rineharts went on without a hitch (caused by them). The shields lined up perfectly and the chrome is excelent. Flange nuts that come loose can hardly be blamed on the company. Their customer service is second to none. I have never heard of anyone with a LEGITAMATE complaint that wasn't handled promptly.
