After watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvMc4PZtVWg on You tube, conparing the Xpower's to the Cobra's, I prefer the Cobras. I'd be using the car for everyday use so the Cobra's won't be too loud at 6 : 15am and personally, I like the quad pipes rather than the twin ovals...but that's always gonna be a personal choice.

The Zero quality is great - easy to shine them up like a mirror and I would not want to lose the quads.
But mine are too loud due to race cats (Milltek), so I am going to have the entire exhaust system wrapped.

I had a thought about wrapping, in particular the engine bay section and did some googling. I found a lot of comments indicating that exhaust wraps lead to rapid deterioration of the metalwork and that ultimately all you'll be left with is a tube of exhaust pipe shaped wraps.
But mine are too loud due to race cats (Milltek), so I am going to have the entire exhaust system wrapped.
Decided to leave it alone.
Are the Miltek's a direct replacement?
I do like the sound of my X-Powers (now very expensive or not available
Did you find any improvement in throttle response or otherwise as I was under the impression we already have high flow cats?
