They used to advertise them with the option of nickel plating on their web site.

Ken said:I emailed Aaen about making them due to the interest in them. I sent them a link to an ebay auction that went for $$$$. They emailed me back that there weren't interested because they would be too loud and suggested purchasing their quad pipes.
Skinner said:Wow, good move Ken. IMO, a fresh packed stinger makes less racket than a set of quad aaens. Ran them both and the stinger don't wake up until about 6500.
I will be at Aaens shop tomorrow, I will ask Olaf what the reasons are behind his decision. Sounds like one the secretary made
SRV540 said:"Another fact is that dyno reports will generally show that popular aftermarket "silencer" kits on stock pipe applications will result in horsepower-loss! It may sound louder and meaner but 9 out of 10 chances you are losing valuable horsepower. Stick with the basics guys"
RDL 93 V-MAX4 said:Well my stingers were made of Aluminum. It had new tubes tig welded and looked like new again. Sent new packing with them all for $50 + shipping. I can't believe how much money someone would spend on these stingers. After seeing how there made there not hard to make. Just the long inner tube with holes for the packing and spring would take some time to get done. Anyways I was not looking to make money for the pipes. I wanted to help out a great friend in Finland. After I found out his shipping cost I was more than happy he did not have to pay more for them.
I wont buy on ebay anymore. Everything gets so overpriced and I would rather send my money to a fellow member that I know here on the site. Someone should start making these Stinger!!! Make alot of $$ on them for shure.
