   sent him a message tbf!!
   
   "Hey.
   
   I seen you state on your advert that this back box will add from 4 to 8 bhp, would just like to see proof of these claims before i purchase one of your rear boxes.
   
   Reason im asking for this proof is i have spent over £300 so far on performance modifications (manifold etc) to gain 14bhp (RR to proove this) so i find it a little hard to believe your rear boxes can gain that much for the price you are selling them at.
   
   Proof would be good otherwise your advert can be classed as giving false claims to lure in potential buyers who dont have a clue.
   
   I look forward to your reply.
   
   Regards,
   Karl."
   
   i await a reply

   So if I were to buy one for a standard car, RR it, fit it, and RR it again immediately after, and I didnt get 4-8bhp, who thinks it'd hold up in court as a case? Lets face it, they dont claim 'upto 8bhp' they say it 'will increase BHP by 4 - 8'...
   
   Not that I'd do that, too much hassle, for not enough gain, but in theory...

    yes that the point they dont say it MIGHT or it MAY increase bhp, they say it WILL increase it.

    think the way they can get away with it becuase its universal, on say a large cc turbo's car you will probably get 4 bhp from this

    This line makes me laugh "This universal stainless steel exhaust box is manufactured from quality T304 grade stainless steel, currently the best grade available."
    
    I'm an engineer/welder and I do beleive you'll find 316 is the best grade within the 300 series of stainless steel!!
    
    which people would do there bloody research!!
