We have a winner......

Function over form any day when it comes to exhaust systems

If it doesn't make the car go faster or stop quicker, you're just buying presents for your car, and wasting your money....you'll never get it back out when you sell.

I think you'll find 100% original cars fetch more money in our country

I know of two RST's and at least 1 RS1600i that have gone for over £10k and none of them had a stainless on....LOL

Well, P.T. Barnum once said 'there's a sucker born every minute' and I'd put people who 'collect' mass-produced cars into that category.

Something is worth what the market will bear, but I suspect that the market in that case is VERY small

Ok then, try finding a 100% original unmolested RS1600i.........bear in mind there were less produced than the 'Back to the Future', the De-Lorean.
