Back to work... After our recent road trip to Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps and the Nürburgring, we knew we still had a few creases that needed ironing out, mainly to fix the inconsistent power figures that we had before the trip.

If you haven't already seen our vlog on the trip give it a watch: Not long after arr …

It also has twin 3" Rolled Slash Cut Tips as standard. The standard grade of stainless is very poor and we see a lot of cars with rusty ex …
