I have a chance to buy one of these for 50 quid or so, should i take off my Ebay after market downpipe with no flexi and swap for this one local with a flexi in?
Wonder if I'd get owt back on the ebay jobby it is nearly new, I didn't put it on by the way.

Only toying with this idea as I am paranoid that my wastegate may be intermittently sticking with the one thats on. :-k

It's all they're good for. Just be careful the door doesn't hit it. It'll split in half. :lol:
