Do you have a link? They are a UK company and looks like they are selling the Hooker setup. I would just buy Hookers from Summit or JetHot depending on whether you want black, ceramic, ceramic sterling, chrome or stainless (did I leave any out?). Can't go wrong with the Hookers!!! There are other options as well. You may try to do a search on sidepipes here on the forum. More info than you can ever read.

Their price coverts into $903.00, what about shipping from the UK? and what if it's damaged, will they cover it?
Buy in the USA, it's safer and cheaper in the long run.

Thanks guys. I did some checking on XS and couldn't find any real red flags but I don't want to be the gueinea pig and I can't find anyone who has used them so I think I'll just bite the bullet and go with the hookers.

I got them within a 2 days of purchasing them and they are HIGH quality 321 stainless steel with the mufflers tac welded inside. It really is the entire exaust set.
You will need header bolts, I recommend ARP header studs though, you will also need bolts to bolt the sidepipes up.
mine is a 82 and I have no choice but to keep the 02 sensor so I had to get a 02 bung also. but they are less than half the price of the hooker setup and stainless is the way to go, chrome will rust after a few years on headers.

Being here in the UK I would certainly look at those for my next project!
