Hi all. Hope it's appropriate for me to post here given my association with one of the companies mentioned.
I'm really pleased to see some positive comments about Longlife - we do try to be the best that we can be and use the right materials. Not sure where the above poster is but he's correct that we do try and consider gas flow and all of the other elements that go into a quality system.
I'm sorry that Powerflow (with whom I have no association what-so-ever) have been badly knocked. Obviously great for us but to be fair to them, they have improved their game in terms of their materials in recent years. The original materials they used were fairly poor though.
Magnex, Mongoose etc are all OK at what they do and their products will do a fair job. The perception of how much they have done in terms of development though is often over estimated and I wuld say our product stacks up very well over the competition. As a (totally independant) example, have a look at the Redline magazine test on an Impreza
http://www.redlinemag.com/page/redli...dline_longlife in which we came out well.
Anyway, that's all from me, hope it's of help.
Kind Regards
Jason
