Put them on my car after the rebuild and do believe they are worth it, bit hard to judge as put decat on at same time. However cat is back in place due to (failed) MOT and now reckon there is an improvement. Plus they look the nuts

Just had a set shipped over from SS autochrome in the states Matt, and hope to fit them in a couple of weeks along with a de-cat resonator from another source... The picture in that ad is the very same as the one in the SS auto so i dont know if its them or someone using thier pic.. i got the ss auto's for $150 ! and had them shipped to an APO address for a measly $45 ! no customs either .. i belive there may be some fitment issues, but for the price, i'll struggle with them ..

Its said they give a little gain, not into double figures say.. but its just one part adding to the exhaust side of modding with a free flow cat and sports ss zorts, and together they help provide the bigger gain.

Paul.

Gone...

I would imagine improving internal aerodynamics (i.e. more relaxed gas flow, smoother internal surfaces) might improve engine performance (the Churchward school on engine design).

Unless appearance is the only concern the buyer has to prove a genuine performance benefit.

I been thinking of partnering these with a longlife hi-flow cat and exhaust.

It be interesting to know for sure if theres fitment issues or if they bring anything whether it be performance or just quicker response. Please update if/when you know

I just need to get the cash together hopefully will be the next mod

I should get them (and my new shocks) delivered tomorrow and on by the end of the week. It will hopefully make some difference as I will be stainless all the way through then.

They have just arrived, (bizarrely) all the way from the good ol' US of A. Just waiting for my shocks now, as my car is white and waiting for its flake top coat I may get it back for the weekend
