RE: crack in the chrome on t-rex pipes
Hey Abnmarine, this guy says there is no way you were sent replacement pipes without having to return the originals first:
"There isnt a company in the world that would send a replacement without receiveing the product. That is absolutely absurd and unrealistic."
Guess he doesn't understand good business practices. This is what I am dealing with so beware.

RE: crack in the chrome on t-rex pipes
Hey guy's, here is a direct quote from the Hard Krome site under the faq section:
Q: I know your pipes have a 1-year guarantee against bluing. Can you tell me if they are also warranted as well?
A: The Hard-Krome pipes carry a 90-day warranty against manufacturer defects and a 1-year guarantee against bluing. If your pipes are less than 90 days, the pipes will need to be returned to the retail establishment they were purchased from. Our distributor carries a 90-day warranty for us. Or you can contact our customer service at 1(800) 854-9134.
Interesting how this company can sell Hard Krome products and yet state that they have no said warranty concerning defects in the product when in fact Hard Krome states the distributor carries a 90 day warranty for them. After close to a dozen emails going back and forth, this guy is now threatening me with a slander lawsuit if he finds any posts about this situation. What does that tell you.

RE: crack in the chrome on t-rex pipes
Interesting...this is Phats Performance Warranty FINE PRINT......Abnmarine, did you have to notify Phats before you installed yout T-Rex pipes that you had damage?
Chrome
All Chrome items including exhausts should be thoroughly inspected for defects in the chrome or other damage before installation onto the bike. If any defects are detected you must notify us immediately by telephone or email. Once you have installed Chrome items they are not returnable. This does NOT include scratches or blemishes to the chrome, which as stated above must be detected and reported to us BEFORE installation begins. We hope the above is clear, if you install it is non returnable except for manufacturers defects and even then it will only be for exhange of like item.

Gotta love good customer service, especially the kind that ends in threats of lawsuit if you expose their ways.

RE: crack in the chrome on t-rex pipes
fimduc, I am not asking for my $ back. I just want the rear pipe replaced. I personally don't remember seeing the crack or the flaking during installation. I wiped the pipes clean prior to starting the bike as I didn't want fingerprints to be on the pipes as they got hot. It was recommended in the directions to wipe them down prior to start up. Maybe this damage only became evident once the pipes heated up? It can still be a manufacturers defect at that point. Definitely still not my fault. I just am really confused how the distributor can claim "no fault" when apparently that is one of the stipulations of being and accepting to be a distributor.

Geeez....threatening you with slander....better tell him to check with his lawyer, there is no slander here, it is just a review of the facts of a bad situation.....and if we are dotting "i" slander refers to the spoken word and libel refers to the written word........the guy could have issued you a return authorization already if he wanted to, instead he is going to build his reputation for customer service one e-mail at a time.....
