Angry Phyton Predators rusty as h...

Hi

Unfortunately I bought the Phyton Predators to my cat 09 Street Glide.

The baffle on the right side is rusty. Has anyone else experienced this?

Have to ask, cause my dealer here in Norway is not helping me out on this issue.

Later

Johan

Is it legal with such a short warranty in the US?

Has 1 set of Pythons on my Road King and that was enough. Won't put 'em on another bike ever again. Not only did they rust almost immediately within 6 months the front baffle mount failed and i ended up pulling the baffles to get rid of the rattle. Tore 'em off about a month after that and went another direction.

Thanks guys for the posts, I was within inches of purchasing a set of these. Sounds to me they are junk. I would have thought otherwise since they are a V&H product.

i thought they were decent too, being made by Vance and Hines and all. I am calling More Power Racing were I bought and try to get my money back...Ya I know, I am going to need some luck with that. I believe the warrenty also says they will only replace the part that is defective. That is total BS in my opinion. Wish me luck.

No problem! Stay away from these pipes, be a nice friend and tell your friends too! These pipes were ordered through drag specialties and I will never buy anything from them again!

Please tell me how it ends for you! If possitive I can show it to my dealer.
