Title: Termi pipe cracked Post by: lilmonster on April 05, 2010, 01:27:40 PM The pipe on the horiz. cyclinder cracked at the crossover pipe around the weld on one side and had approx. 2" crack going along the pipe on the other side. I thought I heard a leak so looked around and saw the crack. I had it welded and it's ok for now. If it breaks again and can't be fixed may try to get a Sparks or Marving mid pipe. Or get an Arrow or Zard system. It just pisses me off because of what it cost and took 4 weeks to get them when I ordered them. Maybe it'll be alright...

Title: Re: Termi pipe cracked Post by: He Man on April 05, 2010, 02:01:49 PM is it a crack along the original weld? Or is it a totally new crack?
Title: Re: Termi pipe cracked Post by: lilmonster on April 05, 2010, 02:56:01 PM One crack is at the outer edge of the weld. The other crack looks like it started at the weld but went length wise along the pipe. There is a small dent near the area on the bottom of the pipe so that is probably the cause, or so they would say if I tried to get replaced under warranty. Doesn't matter now, it's been welded.

A few of us who had the DP (Termi) shotgun CF slip-ons on our desmoquattro S4Rs, reported that the S-pipes were crooked as received. The only real way to fix them was to cut, rotate and weld. I've since heard a number of stories centered around poor build quality for Termis, and I don't think I've heard nearly as many stories about poor quality for other manufacturers.

Title: Re: Termi pipe cracked Post by: muskrat on April 09, 2010, 04:48:36 PM mine are crooked but I won the battle. don't ask but I will NEVER buy another Termi setup.
Title: Re: Termi pipe cracked Post by: psycledelic on April 10, 2010, 08:23:26 AM The most crooked part is the price. I won't go back either. They are overrated, but they sure made me smile the day I put them on. But, coming from the stock exhaust, it didn't take much to impress me. Cans are gone, but I still run the DP headers. I like the way they look.
