Pro Circuit is the Shit! They warrantied a silencer from a used bike I bought. They asked if I bought the silencer from them and I told them it was on the bike when I bought it and they still took care of me. Pretty stoked on them right now. FMF probably would do the same thing, i've been a FMF guy my whole life, but I'm definitely pumped on this new bad boy!

Interstate Batteries just did the same for me by replacing a battery that was within the warranty period, which was in a vehicle I purchased used. Definitely reinforces the decision to support these companies that stand behind their products 100%. Kudos to Pro Circuit.

What happened to your silencer to warrant warranty?

This is what pro circuit did for me. This is this year alone, None of them from a crash, also ran a E-line carbon cover over them. The one in the top left has 1 ride on it. ALL of them bent into the frame with collapse neck by the cylinder. Pro Circuit told me nothing they would do. July I bought an FMF, not a dent or bend in it. Never will I buy pro circuit again.

Oh and real quick, if you look at the top left pipe, you can see a black circle where pro circuit said the pipe touched the ground so they were not warranting it...........on the inside of the pipe. That's a trick.
That's a dent where it tucks into the frame cause the pipe is so weak it bends when you go around corners.

Pipes don't bend themselves. Not even from going around corners, lol.. If your pipe gets bent from going around corners you'd better check your frame and engine mounts.

when you hit something with your pipe guard, it doesn't simply absorb the impact. It distributes it to the mounting areas. It's not Pro Circuit's fault that you hit stuff.

I've seen some crazy stuff but never a pipe bending from cornering, can't even imagine how that would happen??

Must be a joke. Your pipes bends when you corner?? You better put that other pipe down.

The pipe probably sticks out more than the FMF hence why it hits the ground. In saying that I had a PC pipe on my YZ250 and didn't have a single problem. PC won't give you a pipe if you've busted 4. It shows it wasn't an individual product fault, but probably the fault is your own

I cannot believe the level of ignorance on this site. You people cannot ride motorcycles, let alone race. Yes your pipe can bend going around corners. 4 Strokes do not make the same ruts as 2 strokes so when you lay it over on a 2T, the curved part now makes new grooves and bends into the frame. FMF and stock pipes use thicker steel and they can stand up to the abuse, pro circuit pipes use a thinner steel and bend much easier. All the pipes stick out about the same.

Unreal, put the pipe down, pipes don't bend themselves, my fault cause I bought 4 waiting for PC to warranty the first one so it's my fault they bend against the frame. Holy cow people, really.

So it's my fault PC makes their pipes out of thinner metal because it's my fault I corner to low.....huh? Never bent a stock or FMF pipe.

How low do you corner, bro?

Still trying to figure out why it's PC's fault that you hit stuff with your pipe and bent it. Doesn't sound like a manufacturers defect to me.

What is the gauge thickness on the PC pipe compared to the FMF? I'm guessing that unless it's a Gnarly, they will be the same. Surely you have measured them since you state as fact that it is thinner. Clearly Pro Circuit doesn't manufacture their products for guys who are as hardcore, or corner as low as your bad ass self.

I bent my HGS pipe against the frame. Oddly it never occurred to me to expect a warranty replacement. I must corner too low too.

I can't believe you used a thread where someone wanted to share their good experience, and turned it into...well, whatever this is.

Because I didn't hit anything. 1 day on a pipe and you wouldn't think of warranty when the bike never touched the ground.

I just made a comment of what they did for me, nothing, after spending 1200 in pipes. The replies I got from other people after that is what turned it into, "whatever this is". Can I not fore warn fellow riders of what my experience was with the company after someone posts their experience.

If you felt that you were in no way responsible, why did you even buy a second pipe from PC, never mind four, before switching to FMF? Sometimes sacrifices have to be made in manufacturing to achieve a desired level of performance, which apparently you felt was worth it, for a time.

How did it happen then? You don't really make sense

*edit: Don't worry about answering that. Would like to end the shit show there.

Now in response to the forum.
I feel less guilty about buying pro circuit now since I know they support their customers. Last 3 bikes have had pro circuit systems and it feels good to support and original company with a quality product.

Did or didn't the pipe come into contact with the ground?

The ground smashed my PC pipe, I wonder if they will warranty it? haha jkjk.

PC have always been good to me, but I have never had any problems with FMF either. I prefer the PC just because..no real reason. This pipe however is at Pacific Pipe Repair now getting a makeover.
