Definately 100% mate DO NOT buy them, you'll be well disapointed - i was!!

I bought those EXACT ones for £200 (when i say exact there's loads that look similar but mine even has the same 'solid' fixing between the two banks instead of being a flexi joint), and as has already been said they are complete and utter cack.

Had them on mine for a total of 300 ish miles, and in that time couldn't get them to seal reliably for more than 30 or so miles.... and they sounded a bit tinny too!!
I tried everything to plug the leak with paste, heat wrap, clamps, etc etc but still it leaked... so i got bored and took em back off!!

I'd either buy genuine HKS ones (circa £800 ) or get harvey to port your own.... If you really really insist on going the cheap route you can buy mine if you want (really cheap cos they're no good to me!!) but my advice would be to go the harvey route....
