Great for a highly tuned motor, but not so for a std-ish. You'll need to up the rest of your pipework to 3" or thereabouts.

For £80 i think they look gash !! can't see why they need to put that dent in the front of the tube either, if it was positioned propperly to start with then it wouldn't be needed.
If you can weld or know someone who can then there a piece of p*ss to make, have a look on here at a few home made ones ...
