Ian Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 Personally I wouldn't touch it. For £350 I think you can get a K1 from phil Quote
Sarnie Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 Personally I wouldn't touch it. For £350 I think you can get a K1 from phil £450 i think it is Quote
GIXXERUK Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 Personally I wouldn't touch it. For £350 I think you can get a K1 from phil £450 i think it is thats with the Y pipe £350 without iirc Quote
TT Convert Posted June 16, 2008 Author Posted June 16, 2008 ill need the Y pipe wont i? going from a standered nissan exhaust Quote
Digsy Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 ill need the Y pipe wont i? going from a standered nissan exhaust You don't need a new Y-pipe but that is the most restrictive part of the OEM exhaust. Quote
Chris`I Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 I wouldnt trust some no name exhaust from ebay. Get a K1 from Phil, or look for something like the Scorpion (~£330) if you just want a different sound. Performance gain with no mods and no ECU fiddling will be naff all anyway, its all for the sound. Quote
Digsy Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 To my untrained eye this does look uncannily similar to a K1. Any owners care to comment? Quote
martinmac Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 To my untrained eye this does look uncannily similar to a K1. Any owners care to comment? Having seen several K1s on my recent travels I must admit that it does resemble Phils. Quote

TT Convert Posted June 16, 2008 Author Posted June 16, 2008 for £250 I think ill give it a shot, if its shite Ill put it back on eby and get a K1 simple. wont do any harm will it? Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 I am thinking it is very close to a K1 too..... Quote
tmJak Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Starting price is £250, so could sell for more. Looks similar to K1, so why is it going for potentially £100 less - would rather give the money to Phil and have a bit of comeback if it goes wrong. Quote
TT Convert Posted June 16, 2008 Author Posted June 16, 2008 if I can get it for £250 with the Y pipe its a bargin , no? I have just had pictures of both side to side, even the holes for the bungs are in the same place, it very very simler Quote

Looks like a y-pipe back system. Quote

Rare 3 Piece System - 2 Rear SST304 Back Boxes & 1 SST304 3" Y Pipe Pipe and 2 cans - 3 pieces. Quote

My money would be going to Phil - much more piece of mind buying from phil than ebay Quote

drewbie Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 I have just had a K1 fitted. I took it out of all the wrapping. This is IDENTICAL. Clealry the manufacturer is selling them to others as well as Phil. Bugger that I paid £395 + fitting !! Quote
TT Convert Posted June 16, 2008 Author Posted June 16, 2008 Is it really???? I should be getting one off him on ebay and testing it. Like i say if its shite (hopefully not) Ill just resell it and get one of bigphil's K1. Quote

I love it but it isn't much fun on motorways. Quote
