If my manifolds crack again - nuts to welding, I wanna pair of those puppies. Much nicer than the lumps of pig iron presently under the bonnet.

Nice one Podie!

I've been wondering what to do with all those piles of cash lying around the house - I keep tripping over them, the cats are nesting in them, the hoover's clogged.... I'll have to visit Austec and offload some... "Gimme the full Podie please my good man!"

Wouldn't miss that one for anything - need to hear if yours now sounds sweeter than the Ferraris.

You know you'll have to buy a Karcher now to keep the rest of the 'bay spankin' don't you?

Cobblers.

Was seriously impressed with the quality of them... very solid.. nicely made, oh and shiny!

Certainly no hesitation in recommending ACT products... very happy... and they sound great.

From what I've seen they're good quality, but unless your leads need replacing I wouldn't bother...

... get a S/S exhaust instead!
