fitted the system today, first impressions out of the box were good. to me it looks like a realy good quality pipe, you know, all nice welds, comes with all stainless bolts, much easier to fit than getting the old one off. on start up it sounds very different to the standard pipe and out on the road (to me) an improvement on low down power, it seems to build the revs much faster. i am very happy so far and can see no reasons for problems in the future, as it seems to be such good quality. i do not know if you can expect such a good improvment in power with standard carb or not, but it is great with the dell 40s . i had a conversation with one of the guys from vw speedshop and they will soon have available an efi for our engines(19+21wasserboxer) he was talking about being able to supply all the bits(pipe efi fitting) about 2k . sounds good to me. anyway hope this all helps :D

yup came with every thing needed. check all your nuts to the heads and buy them in advance. my system was refitted a year ago and lots of rotten bolts and nuts. is it best to replace them with stainless or is this not good in the alloy heads? i dunno cannot see any reason why not. so yes gaskets for the heads and for the silencer 8) clamps for the manifold where it joins. luvverly. took about an hour to fit. :D
