I was thinking of experimenting with an expansion pipe for a change and saw this one on eBay, has anyone had any experience of them?
Set-up is a stage 4 tuned 200cc aluminium kit from AF with a Jetex on a Pacemaker gearbox.

Just the ebay equivalent of clickbait - it'll turn up in those searches.

Surprised it doesn't say 'mod / vespa' too...

Good feedback on Ebay. Looks OK. And you have opportunity to reclaim from PayPal if not up to the mark.
Not everything has to cost over £300 to be good value.
Take a leap of faith.

There are a few different variations, these have a mild steel manifold and the SPAQ have stainless. What's the best? Ive heard that mild steel gives better head dispersement compared to stainless?

They don't look half bad, although the downpipe looks a bit quirky were it narrows down but definitely worth a try

I agree, it looks half decent, good price compared to the magority of pipes. If you invest please provide some feedback when fitted and running, I'd be interested to know how it performs.
