PG Typhoon/V8 Pipe Corrosion

Post by Chicago Ben »

Anybody else experiencing a extremely fast rate of corrosion on their PG pipes? I understand these units aren't sealed other than a clear coat which burns off the first use but s***, I feel like my pipe is going to need a good media blast here soon.

Its like that with all the raw metal pipes. Clean all the rust off an spray the pipe with bbq paint.
Nothing like getting stroked!

You should've seen that pipe when scott got it. It was all rusty and ugly. The guy is a awesome powdercoater but does good prep to make it look like that!....anyway I PM'd you all the info.
