I like the look of them C. :wink:

What do they sound like? Gazza has some that are similar but not exactly the same:He says the vibration annoys him at certain revs especially on the motorway.

They are loud, but fine. Very loud at 30mph in 5th gear. Serious resonance at this engine speed. Dropping it into 4th cures it. But even this is ok.

I really like 'em.

I'd be looking to add something like that, not get rid of them!

But are you happy with the sound?
That's more important really.

I only get bad 'Droning' 'Resonance ' at 1500rpm ish, other than that I'm happy with mine.

Keep them Conor :wink:

Keep these Conor as you may find the silencers are actually made by G Power (stamped into the silencers) with Scorpion tail pipes welded on in the uk at the Scorpion factory

Thanks Mark and Richard.

They say Scorpion on the ends but as Mark says the silencers may be made by G power. Need to get it up in the air to tell properly.
