I just recently purchased a used ETS LP2 from a member and I unfortunately received the pipe with rust inside it. I was told that this pipe was the earlier one made from mild steel which would rust. SO what do you guys do to get rid of the rust and keep it off ? I've been told to clean it off with a mesh sponge and spray paint the inside black , any advice from you guys would be greatly appreciated

 

Contact ETS. They're exchanging the mild steel pipes + $70 for a new stainless steel version.

 

Thanks Kracka ima contact them once the holidays is over

 

Im in the process of exchanging all my ets mild steel pipes for ss ones...just a heads up, but u have to be the original buyer to exchange pipes...they went thru their records while we were on the phone just to make sure I was the original buyer..goodluck

 

epic fail...

 

ehh sorry...i hate to be the bearer of bad news. u could call and give it a shot anyway...mention ur an EvoM member, maybe buy something else from them...theyre a pretty nice group over at ets so who knows

 

Michael@ETS is a great guy to work with so I'm sure he'll take care of you if you give them a little something in return.

 

Thanks for the advice guys , I'm probably going to end up getting the pipe powdercoated by a local guy if ETS can't do it . Any color suggestions for the licp ? lol Maybe jollipop red

 

ticklemepink ofcourse...

 

You should not paint the inside of your pipes. If the coating / paint comes off, it will just clog your IC or if on the other side get into your combustion chamber...

 

A thermal coating would be fine. If they can coat the combustion chambers of a head, I do not think a lower ic pipe is going to have issues.

 

get a aluminum pipe lol

 

I would but i'm short on cash , gota make use of what I have . I spoke to Michael@ETS and I'm sol on getting a ss licp . Powdercoating is in session

 

i would not put that on my car personally i would just get another lower pipe to be honest but its your car not mine.

 

I was in the same situation, but I wasn't told up front mine was mild steel, which is probably why the guy was selling. About a month or two after I bought it came the big blowup about people's pipes rusting. Thankfully, mine still showed no signs of rust when I took it off a couple months ago for a Nisei LICP, but I prefer to play it safe. I think I might have a friend powder coat it when I get a set of wheels done and either keep it as a spare or sell it.
