    Now that I'm the proud owner of a pair, no gloating obviously, I've had a chance to have a good look, gyno style mirror up the tubes style

    Obviously without pulling them apart its hard to say but they don't look the most complicated beast, rather a lot of emptyness in truth. Surely any decent fabricator could do a straight 'copy'?

    Isn't it when people start with 'I'd like Xpower noise but with Zero quality + twins + x + y' that it gets complicated?

    Or am I missing something?

    I've also looked inside and other than the last 7inches its a straight through pipe, and with the added 7inch pipe they are effectively straight through, don't know if there is any material inside the hollow of the exhaust but the x powers are very light, in comparison to the zero's

    spoke to Kevin at zero yesterday. The hooligan in me wants to remove the perforated resonance reducing mod from the zeros, but was discouraged. He said I would gain little noise benefit but get the nasty resonance so Im not going to bother. He mentioned the x power style boxes he is going to have a go at, and his plans are to build a perforated tube inside to tune out resonance. A very nice chap to speak to, and his products are top quality

    Be interesting to see how this pans out. The quality of the Zeros certainly appeals and as much as I like the look of quads, I really like the twin ovals.

    I'm hoping to have a test set on for Brooklands so you can see and hear them. In the end I'll have the zero quads and the ovals then will swap depending on how I feel.

    Some men see things as they are and say why - I dream things that never were and say why not.

    Happy to put a set on mine for comparison if needed
