I spoke with @lbskis and he agreed we should put something out there for the forum.
It has come to our attention from other shops we know and other tuners we know of a potential issue that is arising on bikes running D&D exhausts. Apparently, the coating D&D puts on the INSIDE of their exhausts is breaking down / flaking off and the debris is turning into sand for lack of a better comparison. That trash is then going through the engine. From what we’ve been told, there is even a class action lawsuit in the works because D&D has said these failures are not their fault. We know of a couple Dyno tuners that are already refusing to tune bikes with D&D exhaust for fear of how a failure could look like they (the tuner) caused it. We know of a major company that has already returned all prototype exhausts and all in stock exhaust to D&D.
I am not looking to start a debate or argument and don’t have time for it. I just simply wanted to put info I’ve been given, out to forum members.
