Uhm...your Indy's slightly off on his information.....
BUB Enterprizes and Rinehart Racing merged on a project to make BUB/Rinehart pipes for motorcycles a few years back. Through the efforts of BUB Enterprises/Racing, in cooperation with Gerald Rinehart/Rinehart Racing, you saw BUB/Rinehart exhaust for motorcycles. It was born...
Gerald Rinehart, the owner of Rinehart Racing, is who owns the motorcycle exhaust part of the company now. They've worked with, and produced exhaust for Championship NASCAR Teams including Richard Childress Racing, Dale Earnhardt Incorporated and Roush Racing.
What has happened, is
BUB is no longer affiliated with the company, and As of October 20, 2009, Rinehart is now merging with Clearline Industries, to continue producing Rinehart Exhaust.
