Termi pipe cracked

[lilmonster]

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...

Doesn't Termi have some kind of warranty?

[He Man]

is it a crack along the original weld? Or is it a totally new crack?

[lilmonster]

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.

I would still be taking it up with someone.  Hopefully you took pictures of the damage.  I personally will never buy a Termi system again unless it's already on the bike and there's no premium.

Termis are superoverrated, I find that just about every aftermarket manufacturer has a better product.

Put new stickers on the cans...you'll feel better.   


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.

I'm looking at getting some Zards when/if I get new exhaust.

mine are crooked but I won the battle.  don't ask but I will NEVER buy another Termi setup.

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.
