The original thought of the thread was look two pipes not what coating should go on them. Some people are so sensitive on this forum it's funny. I haven't been going on and on about the cost of the HPR 19 I did go on and on about a quote for machine work triple what other quotes were. The only logical answer anyone provided was the price of that was so high because people pay it. Nobody has explained why the cost of that work is so expensive based on some drastic difference or power gain potential that justifies the cost.
The 19 is a grand that's awesome I'd love to buy one and probably will in a season or two. All I'm saying regarding the 19 is that I'd be a lot quicker to come off a grand for a pipe if it were plated and stamped. That's my personal opinion and preference you don't like it don't comment about it. But don't try to tell someone to stay on topic in a thread that started with 0 topic.
