Any opinions on them & how they sound? Not to be confused with Japspeed :shock:

Have just won one for the princely sum of £36! :) not bad when they are ~£200 new

Hoping it might sound a wee bit more fruity than OEM combined with the decat- straight thru design as well? Might even rev out a bit more keenly!

Thinking its a bit of a bargain really 8-)
