Performance was fantastic.
Ralfs are the best around..IMO..but its getting him to make you one..
Thats why they go for (2nd hand) nearly as much as they do new..
It is very common for clubmans to have misplaced baffles...

I kept mine on the 185 motor he did for me when i sold it.If i had a better state of mind at the time,i would have chucked on a cheap AF one instead.Lucky though.....ive still got one in my loft.Im sure he is making them again though.

I've had the Casa one on one of my GPs and it's done 12,000 miles without a serious problem - except for the tab that bolts under the engine casing snapping off.

I hope I've got one like yours, although I got from from Ron at Casa Lambratta Australia, so think I've got the same batch his his. I've had one since they came out and except for getting it coated because of the crap paint, it's been on the shelf unused.

Yeah, exhausts can be weird. I know that some people had fitment issues with theirs. Mine just went on with minimal hassle.
