not sure to be honest but that chrome isn't gonna last 6 months before it starts to peel with the heat in the bay, if i powder coat them red to match the manifold then it'll be more durable and aesthetically pleasing

The Hybrid ones i believe do stick below the bumper. With all the speed bumps around a bit of cutting and welding will soon fix that but obviously extra work

This is how the XS-power one looks and sits on the car

Have seen them go from 150 - 250. Just luck of the drawer to whos looking for one i suppose.

Still 150 is a few quid though, and makes f/m more affordable.

The hybrid one is from them direct via ebay funnily enough....think they have upped the price to 440 though but they threw in the induction pipe and a boost controller as well.
