    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.
    Cheers

    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.

    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), but would like some more.

    Did you find any improvement in throttle response or otherwise as I was under the impression we already have high flow cats?

    Do Milltek do backboxes too?

    Maybe they will be even better than the Janspeed Xpowers.

    Janspeed will do them, but have no jig.

    So if several people want to get together and do a group buy....?

    Will even put the Xpower logos on too.
