Hi Carl,

Got your eBay mail with the link - thanks! I've actually frequented this forum from time to time over the years, and registered recently. For everyone else's information, I was the previous owner and had these on an SP-2.

Great job you've done of cleaning the cans up (something I admit I wanted to do but was a little too lazy!) and customising the pipes to fit them to the 'storm headers. I reckon they look superb, and sound just as good as they did on the SP-2 :thumbup:

Not sure how they could upset the front end unless you're making a lot more power :D

But anyway, enjoy! Great to see them put to good use. And glad you appreciated the thorough packaging :lol:

v nice Carl - not envious at all :lol:

on another topic - what are the indicators? Are they a straight swap. I really don't like the originals too much in the 21st century

Thanks for the comments.

:lol: funny first post Alex, welcome to the forum mate. I'm sure they have increased the torque a bit and everything is so much smoother even without a jet kit. :thumbup:

The indicators are just cheapies of the bay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220748774799? ... 1439.l2649 I went for the shorter stalk ones. They where pretty much a straight swap, only used one of the original holes so I'm left with one hole to fill/tidy over. It is also not easy feeding the wires through the hole supplied in the plastic undertray to behind the brake light. I tried the coathanger trick and that did not work so ended up getting the drill out to make the hole bigger.

Have fun. :thumbup:
