   as above, not been sure what my centre section was since bought it second hand (couple of weeks old allegedly) first thought it was mild steel and as was painted heatproof black, thought sportex??, just give it another coat of heat proof black as its off before going my my new car..... but after wire brushing it its s/s under the paint, it has a small plaque with a 5 digit number on it? sound farmiliar too anyone? no brand name anywhere? just curious tbh

    I had a piper centre section and that was in two pieces. Don't remember it having any numbers on it. As above its probably an old supersprint. Are you sure it is s/s?

    the supersprint part numbers are 6 digit.
    Supersprint started making the centre pipes in two pieces from mid 2009 as the long single piece ones were costing a fortune to courier overseas.

    If its painted black it will either be mild steel or aluminised steel. Shiny bare metal will be stainless
