I've only had this engine, the B5, and 2057 pipe for about 3 weeks in my buggy, and love the engine. I can’t believe that the pipe was damaged this badly by a simple little roll over... I guess I wasted my money on getting this pipe for such an awesome engine!!! Anybody know if Werks has some sort of warranty on the pipe? I picked it up through A Main a few weeks ago...
What people don't understand is that a the weight of an 8 lb buggy going 30 mph is a lot of force, and if you hit it right ion the stinger, then it's going to dent most pipes. These things aren't indestructible...
