cool - anyone know if the performance is better than a std 48mm clubman or is it just for show?
(my bird wants my lammy to have a loud exhaust - she will end up bloody deaf lol)

What's your engine? I was always led to believe 48mm pipes were for 225 and up. But I'll probably be corrected by one of the guru's

i had one on my scoot, took it off after 3 months, couldnt bare the noise, its not even a nice loud noise just ear ringing!

plus i found myself at the back on the way to rallies etc lol.
they do look good tho, i also found i had to re tighten all the bolts as they vibrated loose all the time, havent had a problem with my new pipe tho.

Mine isn't loud. It's never come loose either. It sounds lovely. And it's quieter than a JL4.
The loudness is more to do with the size of your exhaust port. If your barrel was tuned by a caveman with fat fingers, it's going to make a racket, whatever exhaust you've got on.
