12mm mild steel bar welded to 1.5mm wall stainless with two chewing gum spots against the torque flow... mmm that'll work, let me guess the flex is 4.00" long as well.
Winds me up when I see these pipes touted off flee bay at 'make me an offer' prices knowing that there's going to be pain down the road for genuine lads trying to tune on a budget...
Rant over
Nige if your systems and cat backs pipes erc were cheap enough then I'm sure we'd all have a pop at them
Best thing to do in with those cheap ebay stuff is to get them welded over for extra strength before fitting.
I don't normally pep up when there is an issue on forums, but I disagree with this. Powervalve systems are priced well I think, considering the quality in build, fitment, sound and service.
I hummed and hawed about whether to save and spend the money, but I can honestly say it was well worth it.
Also, as Nige is actively on the forum (and others I'm presuming), he takes on board any feedback and helps out in any way he can.
But even more so, the proofs in the pudding with the performance gains on his systems, just speak with a few top custom tuners who have had a few cars running their systems and comparing them back to back with others around the same price, and I can assure you they will tell you to put your money into the bcs/powervalve systems.
That's me! Sorry if I have offended anyone, rant over.
