none whatsoever

Power Rohr looks nice but has worse airflow than the std item as the bend is cut/welded rather than being mandrel bent

ecotek are a waste of time also

I have seen some chips on ebay but dont really trust them they seem a bit too cheap if you know what I mean for all that they claim they do. What should I be looking for and how much would I expect to pay?

Cheers in advance

Have just fitted a PiperX panel and Ecotek to mine.  Not much improvement in MPG, but definite improvement in pick up and top end torque.  Mine's standard otherwise, so have to say I'm fairly impressed.   Don't expect miracles, though! :smiley:

i had an ecotek, did sweet fanny adams on my digifant. gave it to my mate with his k-jet and he seems to think he gets better fuel economy.
power rohrs (like gambit says) do nothing, i only got one to match the bling! (and it was only a fiver off ebay)
