Tips / ECM kit - Dean Adams

[JimSX]

Maybe this has been posted before .... if so apologies.

I've had the tips installed for about 1700 miles. One of the two decided to make a break for the ditch whilst I was out for a 75 mile ride. Came back home to disappointment. Went to Dean's site and it was sort of shut down. Left him a voice mail and he followed up by text. Had none in stock and worse ... he is recovering from illness. I gather not too serious, but it partially shuttered the business. Talked to him on the phone and apparently I'm not the only one kicking the bushes looking for a lost tip. I suspect that the clamp is insufficient to retain the tips. No excuse ... I should have checked the clamps "regularly", but I had more fun things to do. Anyway - if you haven't cinched your tips clamps in a while ....... I am going to to through drill and slip a bolt and nut under the clamp. Safety wire the screw as well. Cheers - Jim

PS - You'd be well advised to contact Dean right now as he's ordering material to knock up some tips.

You could always go to any Muffer shop, and go with on the OD Vs the ID ,Look better sound better less $$$ . I am just giving you a fast option.
Check with Cooter this is his idea and has pics to show you .

I did stop by a local muffler shop. He said that they had no way to mandrel bend the pipe. Also they did not have SS in any size ..... hmmmmm. I do like to support the people who support our sport. I'll probably see them in a week. Were you able to get the tips made in stainless steel?

You need to go to a up to date muff shop with a mandrel, When I was using my tips I use Titanium pipe and heated the tips to be Blue.

If you don't want to order the metal from a metal shop (or Amazon) and do it yourself, go to a any muffler shop that does hot rods. They will have a ton of pre-made mandrel bends laying around.

I ordered a 1 foot long piece of 2" OD stainless tube from Ebay, $20, and cut to your desired length and angle.
