I just had a HKS Downpipe put on MY99 RB5 to compliment the existing JeTex Full System.

The pipe looks amazing and sounds so meaty. I got a Forge dump valve as well, and almost every time i change gear i get back fire

IMHO i'd go HKS

From memory the KHS isn't stainless steel though?

If had to choose any, it would be any of: TSL / Magnex / H&S

Next mod would be to ditch the dump valve and fit the re-circ back on. Then go for an aftermarket ECU such as a link or Gems.

And use the search

Have a search but they do nothing posotive for the performance and can cause rich fuelling when they lift.

Speak to Bob Rawle / John Banks etc - All of them advise against it. Ive had them and although the sound is good for a while, performance is better with the standard one. BRD wont sell you an atmos one
