there are mixed reviews about xs, to be on the safe side i would give xxxx a ring or go to their website, they have some of the best out there. failing that try rouge, thats where i got mine from and its the dogs.

cheers karam

p.s. make sure you use the support bracket to prevent cracking, whichever brand you choose.

Do Rogue still do 'em?

There are listed on their website as being discontinued.

Does that mean they are not making 'em anymore and are just left with what they've got in stock?

Patrick?

How do you know its a XS power pipe? Did Chris tell you? Im not calling you a liar but you cant just make statements like that on a public forum without evidence.

If you mount the support bracket then it should be fine on the xs power ones.

i'm not commenting on the xs power brand under pushment of death :-$

But thought i would say that i've ordered 25 downpipe which should be here shortly. there was an unforseen delay thats why the restock didn't arrive before i ran out of stock.

Not sure on the rogue downpipe but he's had a few of mine to sell to customers, dan at dc design does the same. There all my brand downpipe. Also i've not supplied a bracket with my downpipe as never needed one. not one cracked. Although i'm having some made up for my turbo kits as a safety measure against studs loosening on the kits, and found a solution was more support so i'll have them on the website once they get fabricated for people who want to be overly safe.

I was reliably informed that he used to sell them when i got mine.

Its a exact copy of a pipe purchased from XS themselves and when i tried to contact him on numerous occasions my mails went unanswered!

Poor customer service and needless to say i never purchased anything else from him! :(

bought an xs power one, lasted a year with the support bracket in place.

bought another one as no one else had any in stock but the support bracket was too short and wouldnt fit. checked it this morning and its already started to crack #-o has only been on the car 2-3 months.

tim let me know when you have one in stock and ill have one from you.

gonna see what i can do with this in the mean time to try and stop it blowing and cracking further.
