Just curious but did you run have the problems with the Sirio branded pipe or with the Trinity Big Boy pipe???? Also please update us on the 2035 once you have a chance to run it!

Ron,
Both where the trinity branded 2056 aka the big boy pipe.
The baffle came loose in the first one, I sent it to Chad and he replaced it.
The replacement I got 2 qualifiers out of it before the baffle came loose.
Neither pipe has/had any visual damage, no dents, flat spots ect.....
Chad sent the first one back with the new one.
I cut the first bad one open to see if I could find it's weakness.
The baffle was only attached/welded to the main body of the pipe in one spot. The weld was only about 3/8" long.
I love the way the big boy pipe runs but I can't afford to stock a surplus on them.
I'm going to see if the local welding guru thinks he can fix it or not.
If the weather is decent Saturday I will give everyone a review on the 2035 Saturday night.

Mo,
I was told at one point that these are made by sirio with the trinity name, are they not?
Chad from Fastlane has 2 of the first release big boys and has had zero problems with them.
You going to the Ohio State Pro series finals next weekend at crcrc?

lol, I think I see Chad about as often as you do.

I'll have to call him and harass him.
Cory called last night and told me about it, it looks like I will be there as long as they don't mandatory work on saturday.

I've lost 2 pipes to the poor weld on the baffle.
