That's more expensive than a lot of the other pipes out there, but most of the pipes out there aren't stainless and will eventually rust out.



Sorry but unless something has changed with the TB pipes, they are NOT stainless steel and they DO rust out (mine did badly within a few months).

Mine ended up looking like I had had them since the FIRST World War (I re-chromed them again 3 weeks ago - but have several pictures of them that I can post plus witnesses from Ba.com members during last August's Euro Rally in Sweden).
Also, my experience with TB both prior and after these problems appeared was very much unlike yours ... quite the opposite, in fact.
