My setup is far far cheaper but does sound good for the costs.

It would be cool if you can let me know where you got all the piping from, did you have to bend it yourself, or just by it component form?

That's not a problem at all, I would gladly do it for you but it was all prefabricated parts I used so its really just a case of buy them and put it together so it really wasn't too difficult. If I'd actually done the pipe work myself I'd have been much more chuffed about it but I don't have the gear to bend pipe work like that and if I did I'm sure it'd never be as good.
I think I've found the links to various different bits now so once back at the computer or rather when the mrs gets back home with it I will put all the links up I can to help you out.
Can then choose whether our rather go the alloy way or the silicone way.
Would you rather a list on this link or via a pm?

List might be good for people in the future, but its up to you if some of it is private links etc.

Right, well here it goes with the list. Main thing I was telling myself was I needed to keep the main hoses 76mm internal diameter and the breather hose 19mm internal.

With all the extra bits of pipe work along side of the kit you may think why but that when you only use 2 or 3 pipes as a max but when you compare the cost if the kit against buying more of the 90 degree pipes seperately it actually becomes cheaper this way.
Again its only a guide as its what I used.
The silicone pipes again which ever colour you decide to go for can be selected before the buy now option and I believe three of the bits are from the same supplier so would get in one hit.

Hope its of some help to you.

Then you would just need to choose a filter you want for it along with some larger hose clips or equivalent. My most expensive part as went as big as possible on the itg one that would fit. Filter as with all this kit is just a guide but I can say im very pleased with how it works for me.

then you should have something that looks like my setup.

I have a Janspeed backbox and when I changed my centre section from OE to Janspeed it made a noticeable difference to the sound. All very positive.
