Sure there was someone on here using it . The quality of their products are next level from the parts I have seen first hand , I should imagine it would be very good

I have one on my car. It was on it when I bought the car but it does seem like a good quility piece. I’ve had no issues with it

Thanks for the replies. Might have to get one ordered then.

Was going to go for a Tomei elbow and then a downpipe of some sort, but it’ll be easier to fit it all I should imagine as one piece, plus with the Parts Shop Max one I won’t need to get a wideband fitting welded on.

That’s true. I’ll have to find out what they’d charge.

They aren’t extortionate for the quality . I know a lot of people running their systems and manifolds . Very happy from what I hear

Does anyone have any advice on wether or not a flexi pipe is necessary or what pros or cons ect they have I understand they are better for longevity for your manifold as to not put as much stress on them? Is this true

I was also looking at getting the Tomei down pipe and manifold as I already have a hpi dual pipe front pipe, decat, kakimoto regu 06 catback but factory mani and down pipe I believe

It’s probably not necessary to have a flexi pipe, but I guess it’s peace of mind that you reduce the risk of damaging your manifold/turbo should you bottom out or something. I’m sure there’s plenty of people who’ve never run a flexi pipe and have never had a problem, but can’t be too safe I suppose.

I don’t know if it’s worth changing my manifold for a tubular one. I think there’s a discussion on it somewhere and supposedly the factory cast manifold is very good up to a certain power.

Ah ok that’s good to know then it just seems everyone is throwing flexi pipes in their cars recently but unless your like stupid low then shouldn’t bother?

I ran without a flexi for maybe 2.5 years (about 20k miles) in an S14a without any issues. I still think it’s no harm to have a flexi in there though

I suppose when you think about, a lot of cars don’t have a flexi from factory.

You’d like to think I did but I did not ;)

I’ll give you £21 for it. That’s a £1 profit, think what that could buy you. 5 Freddos? 2 whole pints of milk? A 150g bag of Tesco Finest crisps? Any of this could be yours.

It was more like £50 altogether if you count the fuel I used to go pick it up
Peanut M&M’s are my weakness just sayin’

In all seriousness, what do you think of it?
