another issue for weldin terry...and all of u bashing me

heres another problemm..i took it to another shop today to try and save terry money and once again no ones wants to do it..

no this cant be welded here either that i found today cause it wont allow the flange close enough to head

yup thats definately toast. No saving that thing. He keeps on talking about taking a $3000 hit or something like that for riding it 3 months? Well do you expect to sell a car you bought 3 months ago to sell for the same price when the exhaust system is destroyed even if you didnt know? Its the same thing as getting in an accident. Broken parts decrease value. Just replace the header and make the problem go away.

You guys say what you want but I have yet to see anything on that header that couldn't be fixed.

ive been welding for 8 years an i wouldnt touch anything that looked like that. its always going to come back on you. no matter how much you tell them you wont warranty it and that welding it wont fix it. all heat is going to do is stress the metal around it more and cause more cracks. its too brittle the list goes on an on why not to weld that.

from9rto1k · « **Reply #155 on:** July 22, 2007, 08:24:58 PM »

thank u...i been welding for 12 yrs but never got into stainless...but every shop told me yes it can be welded but it will not last..the heat will make the rest brittle and it will break again next to new welds....richard says it can be welded but wont last...

every shop said it will probably only last days do to the heat making it brittle and the weight of the turbo on it...its brittle enough from motor heat but weldin it will be 10 times worse

you can drill the ends and grind and fill the cracks but that just looks so brittle the heat will put so much stress on the metal around it. you might get lucky an that just been an imperfection in the casting and it hold fine but i really doubt it.

those arent cast
but seeing that area suxs to weld
i had one of mine crack there
it took a while to get it fixed
a few spots we just replaced instead of repaired

Please do not delete it just ask that it be locked, let this stand as a lesson to others about buying before seeing..

Glad you guys came to "terms"

sounds like a fair deal to me

Busa for hire · « **Reply #163 on:** July 23, 2007, 02:19:44 PM »

So if it makes more then 251 next time on a dyno does terry get any of his money back?? he only sold it as a 251 horse bike after all..

Busa444 · « **Reply #164 on:** July 23, 2007, 03:07:47 PM »

Glad it's all worked out

Glad its sorta worked out

I saw this bike and was really considering a Turbo bike, glad I decided to go new in 08! (However, it won't do anywhere near 250 with "light mods".)

Just my .02 but I'm glad this stuff is on here to keep people honest. Anyone would be upset with the situation (both sides). I hope the header fixes the problem, best of luck...

from9rto1k · « **Reply #169 on:** July 24, 2007, 10:06:56 PM »

i hope header does too..
