they are better to a certain degree as they dont have the same amount of flex in them.

If you are ruuning BIG power then you really need the pipes done in alloy and just use silicone hoses where the joins are.

You will find a few companies selling these now, but as I said, it just depends on how much power you are running

Hope this helps

where do I get "Pipes" I think the Silicone hoses might be nackered?

The car should be giving out about 320 - 350bhp when I get it in proper working condition (i.e. fix the boost problem)
