CFR Slip On issues
First of all I love the sounds of these with Vance and Hines dresser duals. I have been running auto tune from my power vision to try and get rid of the random popping on decel. It has worked for the most part besides a few pops here and there.
My main issue is cleaning the damn things. I have the standard tips and the chrome on the inside tip of the pipe turns hazy and is a bitch to clean after about 50 miles. I have to constantly scrub them to keep the chrome shiny. Does anyone else have this problem?!?!?

I think your fighting a losing battle if your trying to keep the inside chrome clean. Just wipe the outside down and let the inside build up a nice layer of carbon. I guess that's another positive with the Rineharts black tips!

Well the inside turns black as exhaust flows through it. I have the same pipes and wipe them out about 1 time a month. But, I don't bother trying to keep the inside of the exhaust tip perfect as I realize that it never will stay that way unless I don't ride the bike.

Thanks for the replies guys. I thought I was the only one.
I gave up cleaning them after every ride. The monthly clean up/wash will prolly be all I do. I am glad I do not have the fluted tips!
On the bright side EVERYBODY asks me about the pipes. They always say they've never heard anything so deep.

I have the fluted tips on mine with the same issue. After every other longer ride I use the Mother's Powerball at the end of my drill and a very mild cleaner. After 2 seconds on each pipe and they shine like new (even the fluted grooves). You can pick one up at any auto part store or online.
