   Piper items are built more for performance than the Sportex systems.
   
   Cant really comment as Ive had niether but in the case of you get what you pay for, Id go for Piper.
   
   Wouldnt totally discount Mild Steel just because its not Stainless Steel, Ive had a Janspeed Mild Steel system on mine of a year now and its fine.

   wasnt on my car wouldnt have them anywhere near it was on friends cars. Shoddy build quality leading to difficult fitting were the main issues.
   
   I now have a piper stainless system, good fitment and sounds good enough imo

    as stated above sportex are wank, bought one of their manifolds and the bolt holes were no where near to lining up, rang them to complain and was told i wasnt fitting it correctly needless to say it got sent back and i got a refund!

    Would of though the Piper has the better rep mate out of those 2.
    
    If it were me I would just the 3.5" inward rolled (like the magnex). Its
    simple but doesnt look out of place.
