Tdaz250 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Found some toomeys on craigslist http://eugene.craigslist.org/for/2925886232.html I'd have to drive down and get them, they are flat black. Are there any cons to having the exhaust painted black? Can i just respray them with some high temp paint and call it good? What can i do to clean them up? I figure for 200 bucks its not bad but im wondering what everyone else thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous039 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Yea just hi-temp coat them, there are no disadvantage to them being black. I would offer him $175 them which would be a steal price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandmanPNW Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'd offer him $125 let him counter $150 and you are good to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Raw steel is tits tho, I'd take off the spray paint, not with a wire brush. And see what the pipes look like. If there bad, respray them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Cal Suspension Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 These are some FMF pipes I got off craigslist for 100 bucks, with silencers. I was in a bind and desperately needed pipes before my shearers were done. I used them for one trip, and they sat in my garage for a few months. I got bored one day and decided to see what was underneath that black BBQ paint... This is what they looked like with NOTHING but being stripped with paint stripper. No polishing or anything. Not bad for 15 minutes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure for 200 bucks its not bad but im wondering what everyone else thinks Those don't look like T5s to me, probably T4s which were not worth the box they shipped them in. T4s were so bad that Toomey offered a trade up program when they came out with the T5s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blast off Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I think you are mistaken, i believe those are T5's, the T4's dont have that bend and nice shape at the end of the expansion chamber. the T4's have a straighter expansion chamber, I had T4's.
