Better in summer but with the weather how it is it won't be too much different. If yours isn't a twin pass it'll probably be less responsive due to the longer route.....

Saves spoiling your bumper. I think they look wretched! The forge and ths are good as the pipe routes are the same length so there is no more lag than the side mount  :smiley:

apart from the fact the air has to do a complete 180 degree turn which can slow the flow down in itself so IMO it also has its cons.

id do it. I fitted ebay job with bigger pipes and better silicone joiners and seems to have given a tiny bit of lag, but a lot more mid range torque.

And lets be honest, looks damn cool! :grin:
