I appreciate your response but what you should realize is that the stock
pipes, both your Maxim and Vmax are double walled meaning there is a steel
pipe inside the chrome sleeve. This accounts for the long lasting finish and
also for the poor exhaust flow even when you add slip-ons.

P.S. I also have a Maxim, an '85 to go with my '88 Max. Big Max and Little
Max.
Everyone needs a big brother.
