   I know theres way too many threads all roughly saying the same but i really cannot decide.
   
   Thinkin 3.5 inward or outward (difference?) Piper
   
   but then i like the ashley exhasts as well but then you have to choose 3 inch or 4 inch so really not sure.
   
   found a few you tube vids:
   
   Piper : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPIIKl-tYwQ
   
   Ashley : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=149NA...eature=related
   
   Also what about the build quality and dificulty to fit between the two?
   
   Cheers
   Ross

    i wouldnt use that video as a good comparsion on the ashley their obvious not reving it properly. The piper sounds like a bike tbh. i wouldnt get either but i'd probably prefer a small 3" ashley.

    brap thats my ashley, thats the group n version. Sounds pretty much the same as it does in the vid, much perfer my ashley to piper.!!
    
    Mine was 4inch, but they dont fit 100% hangers need to be bent, which isnt hard if you have a hammer, that was around 4 days after i fitted it, I havent yet seen another group n ashley comp exhaust yet, but would say it pops a lil more than supersprint, and mabey a lil quieter on tick over than ss. also had a ported throttle body on it so used to flame when changing gear at 5revs +
    
    i orderd it straight from ashley and they said it was the group n but a lot off people seem to think there not... so im not saying it is or it isnt, just ashley told me it was.

    i think im going to go for the piper.. will eventually add ss centre section and either ss mani or raceland.
    
    not a big fan of the look of the ss back boxes and think the piper sounds immense
