All im going to say is: You get what you pay for.

Will more than likely be poor quality steel that will eat itself away in a matter of months.

If my memory serves me correctly, they are also the company that produce the front mounted intercoolers for £5 and a reach-around.

I'd steer clear  :sick:

I thought the pipewerx included a sports cat?

Money isnt really the issue, blueflame do them for £250. It was more of a fitment issue as after all as long as the steel grade is the same i cant see it eroding? Its only a downpipe after all. :smiley:

Go to the 'other items for sale' I posted up a link a couple of days ago for a Milltek one that was only about £280, saving about £300 off new.

Still cheaper than anywhere else I have seen them for sale though, I am leaving Milltek in the next month or so and going for a pipeworx exhaust instead though still leaving the Milltek downpipe in place.

Getting it done direct from Pipeworx, take the car to them in the morning, and they make it through the day to the exact spec you want. Going to get a Revo map done at the same time, They are based up North, and seem to really know what they are talking about.

The original post   :happy2:
Cheap eBay number , was sceptical when we first fitted it but had no issues with it since fitting so can't really say a bad word against it :wink:
