Rush Pipes Installed

Does Rush weld a bar across the tail end of the baffles?

Saw that somewhere, but can't recall for sure it was Rush.

Yes, Rush has a good, stout bar welded across the tail end of the baffle. It looks strong enough to handle any pulling force you could apply to it.

I also just got off the phone with Rush. Asked the guy if they'd recommend using some anti-seize to make future baffle removal easier. He said he'd never heard of it but that it couldn't hurt anything and he did admit that after a while, they can be stuck quite firmly. Nothing I hadn't already figured out but it is the common sense answer. I'll be going the anti-seize route.

It is usually carbon build up that holds in tight. Spray some carb cleaner in there and typically they break free.

Are these Rush Slip-ons equal to the stock pipe length? Price?

The pipes are a bit shorter and do not quite reach the end of the bags. I'll be posting some pictures next week after I get the new Madstad windshield mounted and post pics of that too. I got mine for $479.95 at Phat Performance (www.phatperformanceparts.com). Rush Racing does not sell direct but suggested several online dealers that I could use. To save on shipping, I picked the closest one. Phat Performance is in southern Calif. and was great to deal with. The pipes were drop shipped straight from Rush to me. Wingstuff does not carry this line of pipes. If checking out these pipes on line, look for those for the GL1800. Those are what's used for the F6B.

They are a tad short but I like how they look. Rush is supposed to have a new longer tip any day if no already.

Thank you Bruce! Remember to post those pictures when you have a chance!

I would have to see what type of tip extension they come out with to extend the end of the exhaust past the side bags. Being shorter would promote drone!

They hardly drone at all compared to the Cobra 6x1's or whatever they call them. Dickie

I would like to have zero drone. I will still wait for their longer tips
