Hi,
I am looking to replace my old and very used Taffy mark IV pipe on a TS1 225 running an SX200 gearbox with standard sprockets, 4.8 final drive ratio. I am looking at the chrome PM30 Fat Mamba or the stainless Devtour. I like the idea of the stainless pipe as it sounds like it will last and not get too shoddy looking, how do the chrome pipes these days stand up to our weather before they start rusting?
If anyone is running these pipes what are the pros and cons for each or any other suggestions? Looking for something that will last.

cheers
