Good point I guess. Though my Xpower box is an Xpart one I think. Wonder why they never endorsed a filter kit for the 180?

All Xpower exhausts are mnade by Janspeed with Xpower branding. They may be sold through Xpart but they are still Janspeed.
Yes, the ITG Maxogen kit was the Xpower approved filter for the ZS180 and ZR160.
Trivia time !! Did you know that Scorpion made the exhaust tips for all the Zed range? While the exhausts themselves were mass produced from cheap metals in another factory, it was Scorpion who manufactured all the nice shiny, stainless ends !

Ah I learn something new everyday. Only problem is then some of the old stuff falls out.
Did the ITG have XPower written on it or did they just say to customers 'buy this one'.

Hmmm Xpower must have approved it for a reason, but dammit why does it have to be the most expensive one.

Because it is developed by a company that do a lot of induction work for F1?

The company being run by William Riley that will be making the SV has nothing to do with XPower. However, the XPower name from my understanding has never officially been registered and is in use by other manufacturers for other non-MG products. RML (Ray Mallock Ltd) are using a logo very similar to the MG XPower one.
The XPower branded exhausts currently being sold by XPart are not made by Janspeed. To add to the confusion, Janspeed make their own range of exhausts which have the XPower branding on.
Confused? You will be, after this episode of Soap!
