+1. That's what my dealer would have done.

I would talk to the dealer about a $80 credit. They are the ones that made out in this deal, they will sell the warrantied pipes and make the money.

The reason I let them put the cheaper, Dresser Dual's on is because I was out of town, on a road trip, and needed pipes. It was either leave the bike there and wait for the Power Duals to come in, and find a ride back home, or take the Dresser Duals and get back on the road. Just looking for other opinion's on this. Thanks for all of them!

In my opinion, you're better off with the Dresser Duals. They won't crack in the future like the power duals did. If I were you, I'd relax and think about the positives. The dressers look better too. You got a good deal.

You should have told the dealer before you took the pipes that you wanted your $80 back. Either in credit or cash. I still don't see how V&H owes anything other than the replacement pipes. Well maybe a tranny cover if its messed up.
