When installing a new set of stainless pipes, make sure your hands are clean and free of oil. After installation, thoroughly clean pipes with a soft cloth and cleaning solvent that will leave no residue (acetone glass cleaner, alcohol, etc.) before starting the Motorcycle.
It is considered normal for stainless steel exhaust systems to discolor due to heat.
High performance engine tuning utilizing a dyno will likely result in severe discoloration.
Avoid long periods of idling as this can cause discoloration. Intake leaks can cause the engine to run lean and overheat, this could lead to discoloration.
Make sure there are no exhaust leaks at the junction of the exhaust pipes and cylinder head. We recommend replacing gaskets if they are worn.
In California, in order to meet Air Resources Board emissions requirements, certain aftermarket part applications have been identified as replacements, and others have received ARB Executive Orders. All other emissions related aftermarket parts are for competition use only. A list of replacement parts and EO parts, and corresponding fitment is provided at vanceandhines.com/California.
