Any truth in that?

Not to mention it would work harden like a bastard and break, probably within days, just from the vibration alone.

hmmm, a 3" zorst on an SP, sounds like crazy talk to me 8)
Went for a drive and there were slow cars everywhere, why are NC's so common . . . must be NC = Normally Cardiganed.

Some of the SP replica race cars have a 3" system fitted to them, and seeing one being fitted up gave me ideas.................
