Welcome Aboard

Loads of pipes out there for the Storm. Quite a personal choice really you can choose them by volume or style

Mind you if power is what you're after you won't find a quiet one

Hi Nick,

Welcome to the fray

Got Micron race cans (low swept) on mine, Sounds awesome

Seeing as it appears they've gone bust (well parent company has, and taken them down too) could be some bargains happening.

Welcome mate, advice on cans is watch ebay for bargains then post the thread on here for opinions on any you fancy buying.

Hi Nick

Wondered what the second half meant, guessed as much!

Welcome aboard Nick, am not far from you. I can also thoroughly recommend Powerlinks down at Ringwood - Mark down there is a real whizz with Firestorms and very reasonable.
