Evidently the Attorney General of Ohio, has a few ongoing consumer complaints against EPCO, so that doesn't look good. I bought a set of new EPCO pipes in 2014, the welding looked like it was done by a 2nd week weldor trainee. I was lucky and eventually got my money back. But Google shows no active website for them, so from what I gathered together from looking, I would surmise they have gone under and are out of business. Occasionally some of the older good ones list on EBay, so if that's what you have set your heart on, be patient and wait for a decent set to list. IMHO, Not as loud as EPCOs but StainTunes are way better in every respect and the used ones go for basically the same money.

Epco sold their exhaust manufacturing to Stainless Ride and were marketed under that name from around 2010 to 2014 before Stainless Ride went out of business. I actually live and work about 20 miles away from the original Epco shop. My local Triumph dealership used to sell a lot of their pipes. The owner of the dealership told me that it's owned by an old guy named Tom who basically works at his own pace and whenever he wants. A few years ago when I was looking for a set I literally called a dozen times and went by twice and wasn't able to get a hold of him. The owner of my dealership told me it took him 4 months to get a set for an insurance repair he had.

Last I heard, they closed the pipe business and started making something else, forgot what, so it mustn't have been very impressive. Seems to me a very stupid move, I really like the Epco pipes I got in '03.

The EPCOs I still have on the shelf did sound loud and rambunctious after I got the carbs dialed in correctly, I switched them out to STAINTUNES, so I could listen to music as well as hear myself think, on long rides.

Drill out a set of baffles and then a second set if you want to hear what the engine sounds like.
