As much as I expect you're keen to get it fitted and see what it's like, I'd warn against fitting them if you're not 100% happy. No doubt they cost you a few quid and their response after you've fitted them and you're not happy won't be helpful.

I'd advise strongly that if you're not happy already, to at least make contact with them expressing your concerns. I'd be asking them how they want to progress. If they say fit and we'll see what the results are - fair enough. After you fit them, you'll be stuck.

If you compare how they look to the way the recently polished up second hand ones that are going to get fitted by Big-Jay they don't seem to be anywhere near the same standard. I appreciate you didn't buy them for looks, but surely it gives an indicator of the quality. Post 19

That doesn't look as good as their old fanimolds. What a shame as they used to be wonderful!

Quick update guys spoke to Janspeed the exhausts are now steel as the nice SS ones were cracking so we get the rubbish looking ones now hopefully will get it fitted this week. On a BIG plus note ive passed my ARDS and medical with full marks

Just make sure your 100% on your flags mate as sure you are anyway, the ones that I was having to think about where things like when do you hand your licence in for signing at your first race meeting and things like that. Id say watch that bit of the dvd a good few times as was few questions about things like that others were fairly straight forward like what to do if your helmet is cracked, what should you do if you crash and car wont move, where to stop if your car can move slowly (coloured barrier) what should you do if throttle sticks wide open (hit the kill switch and declutch)

Well done, have to see if you are near any of the tracks near me, love to come along and support you.

What's close to you mate

Finally got the Janspeed on, not rapped it yet just wanted to check fitted which is mm perfect all tho the lambda probe is completely in a different place. Luckily since I done my own loom had enough wire to reroute it. Doesn't seem much louder with the decat thankfully and car definitely feels quicker in mid-range. Just need to increase cam timing on Verviers and get back to emerald for map tweak....
