   How reliable are these guys?
   looking for manifold, box, straight through tube.

   Great value for money in my opinion, very nice note but can be abit loud for some people. Might be worth spending a few extra quid on a stainless steel mani though.

   to be honest wat is the main advantage of a stainless mani, to a mild steel? apart from being shiny and more expensive?
   
   cheers for the help matt

   Wrapped to fight corrosion and finally after a long.... time when it starts wearing off start the painting job though it's not going to help
