Staintune Pipes and Cat Eliminator

Looks like I found another one. I don't know much about these pipes yet. I have some questions into Staintune but haven't heard anything back yet. I have to say I really like these pipes and the crossover pipe on the cat eliminator is a nice bit as well.



I'll let you know if I find out more.

I really like the deep sound of these and the D&D pipes. Not to sure about the pipe inside a pipe look though.

Thanks Thatch! I'll jump over there to take a look. It looks like this Staintune outfit is British (since the test rider was riding the "wrong" side of the road ). They certainly sound good!

I see they have a dealer near me in Maryland. I'm almost regretting I'm locked into BC with that deposit. These pipes sound pretty good. I hope BC comes through soon... I wonder if they knew these were coming out and wanted to "freeze" a portion of the market with their request for advanced order deposits..

I like the look of those pipes - along with the CAT eliminator.

But you know what is really upsetting - they would have been on my bike cause Staintune wanted it for R&D - but because my bike got delayed they found another - so I ended up with TOR's!

(sob).
