   as above though, loud and very raspy can get a bit annoying especially if you have decat mani but as said they good for the price

    Very good exhausts, been saying it for years lol
    
    Good value, good fitment, good looks, pretty good sound, if you get the full system then a nice little increase in power - Can't go wrong

    How do you know it is sportex then if it isn't stamped...? Think that is what he is trying to get at.

    if it has a few scratches it might be an itemthat was returned so used before, might have scuffed a speeadbump or something. call sportex and ask them why there's no sticker, stamp and why thre's marks on it, you paid the brand new price to get a brand new one after all..
