I got my drgas xpipe on this weekend and I am very pleased with the tone. The sound is deeper than my bbk o/r x, no rasp what so ever, and the drone is down to minimium. At first I was very skeptical of replacing my bbk x with another x fearing it would contiune to rasp, but now I am a firm believer in drgas and recommend it everyone. The best way to describe the sound is healthy! I do have one concern; when I first recieved the pipe, I decided to polish it. Given that its galvinized steel, highly polished, and freashly welded, should I be concerned of it rusting? Should I coat it some how? Thanks for your help!
