    Default Might want to buy Zero's or X-powers anyone interested selling?

    Hi

    As you all know I am looking for a ZT260 and I have been presented with a few options but 1 only has a standard exhaust and I think I wont be happy with that. I would prefer a set of Zero's but X-Powers are more affordable so basically is anyone interested in selling and if so how much would you want?

    Hopefully will be testing the cars soon so trying to plan ahead and cover all bases by work out expenses and which one to go for.

    Thanks

    Martin

    My Zero's are currently on order for about £500 new. They should give a good power increase and are quads.

    I'm not sure if the X-power exhausts increase power and they are not quads.
    Cheers

    i believe there is more of a power increase with the x powers over the zero's. scooter tested a car with an accufab and x powers and got around 15bhp, although i prefer the zeros which i have although love the noise of the x powers, just don't know if i could live with them

    I thought that X-power did not make any claims for a power increase, just better "noise", so I assumed power would not be up?

    The Zero's do claim more through-flow and my tuner (SEM) seems to think they will make a difference. Still you never really know until you get it on a dyno.

    Well I would prefer a car with zeros on as they are still quads but beggars can't be choosers....

    Though If I have to upgrade then I will prob go with the zeros unless I get offered a really good deal.

    Xpowers new are 300, Zeroes are about 500.

    I'm interested in a set of Xpowers too, but as an additional set to the zeroes I already have. Doubt I could live with them for ever, especially in winter when I drive with low engine RPMs. So would be a summer time swap over for 'fun'.

    But as it would be an unnecessary expense I would only get some if I saw a cheap 2nd set.


    Doesnt help you out much though, sorry.

    If you did get xpowers, im sure you would be able to sell them if you wanted to get zeroes...

    Would rather have the cobra over that cruiser.....

    Sh4rky that sounds too much work to me with switching over exhausts.... If you want louder just get and keep the x-powers and if I need a set of Zeros sell them to me
