Probably extra chrome plating.
Bulk metal tubing only comes in certain sizes. I doubt FMF would spec an odd ball size for their pipes. |

Very cool! What kind of welder did you use?

I have a Lincoln TIG welder. I'm not too proud of the weld in the pic above. I was in a hurry and didn't get set up right. I redid it at a lower angle, took my time, and the weld is a a lot more prettier now.

FWIW, my FMF TC2 is a bitch of a tight fit on both of my OEM GG pipes, so perhaps its not just a Stealth thing. I agree with Girard as it seems like a plating issue.
FMF is not the gold standard in fit and finnish, or customer service for that matter. I was never able to talk to anyone there that didn't sound like a high school kid. I talked to Kevin Hines once about FMF pipes and pipe guards. He told me that FMF has a set of stamped cone sections that they configure to make pipes for the various bikes. The angles may be different but the cones are the same in many cases. Thats why some of the eline guards fit more than one bike. When the '07s first came out, the guys at T&C just heated and slightly bent the pre '07 silencer/SAs to fit. Looked and worked fine. I would think it would work fitting an '07+ Stealth on an '05 as well, for the guy without a TIG welder. |
