    Are the X-powers sleeved?

    If they are you could "un-sleeve" them to reduce the noise.

    When I bought 211 the X-Powers were sleeved and personally I found the noise unbearable. I got Brian to remove the sleeves and it's so much nicer now.

    Slightly off topic but it's about time you went GREEN Graham. Have you returned your questionnaire to Tim yet? Whereabouts are you located?

    I honestly can't see the point of sleeved x-powers. If you don't like the standard, go for Zeros. If they're too quiet, have X-Powers.
    If X-powers are not loud enough (for the few grown up hooligans on here) do what ZTpony did and get bespoke Zeros

    Why slam a bit of scaffolding in a set of perfectly good exhausts is beyond me

    Sort of. They look good but are useless for walking. Sleeved may sound good stationary but too loud (for most) driving
