On the first run through this pipe, i had a hot run ... the pipe was glowing red hot for a few sec, enough to actually burn the lip of the carbon bypass to a crisp that was touching it ! .. anyway, this is how it looks now. It appears as the heat caused enough expansion in the material to bulge it out past the outer pipe separator ring welds ... all in all the pipe feels pretty sturdy, and im inclined to keep using it ... or am i looking to play russian roulette with this pipe on a 36lbs engine blowing through it and risking a collapse ? opinions ? advice ? thanks guys ...
