Just curious when you can get a full kit inlet/outlet same side for 125 delivered by auction why buy a diy kit? Are the inlet/outlet same side not as good or summit? I thought they be better as slot less issues with leaks as far less joins.

I went for the THS kit. It fits a lot better than the ebay kits and if you want to use your original grilles you just have to trim them a bit. Used ones come up from time to time. I've had mine fitted about a year now and never had any problems with leaks etc. after being stage 2 mapped.
