Title: For Your Information
Post by: GSRider on October 31, 2006, 05:00:13 AM
Just thought I'd let you guys know that Jardine is just finishing up production of their latest batch of RT-1 full systems, and should be available next week sometime. I know there is a link to starcycle.com somewhere around here, but I found www.pipecity.com , where they are selling for $339.

Oh yeah, and pipecity also sells Factory Pro jet kits - something that has been very hard to find for me.

That's a pretty large sum of money.  I just don't see the reason for a full system.  The gains are minimal over just a muffler and the piping on the full system is rumored to be very thin and gets rusty pretty quick.

How in the hell does a stainless steel system rust?!?!?!?  :cookoo:  :bs:

Corrode? Maybe. But rust? No.

Stainless oxidizes as well.

I don't get the full systems either...the tubing for the primaries is pretty well matched for the engine from the factory....this is why I never made headers for them.

My setups are half the cost.
