    Luckily for you I think they stopped making them, Alan M would be a good one to ask about them.

    I've heard that they were utter pish too from a few mates who run Jap stuff.
    How sad is the banner on the home page??
    Kinda says it all ;

    Jetex, BSR, Sam Steffansson, Ferrita... for Volvos you probably couldn't go wrong with these guys.

    I know AlanM has an issue with the corrosion on his system but to me with pretty much every stainless system ive had running it through the winter it will get surface corrosion due to the road salt.
    And thats not taking anything away from Alan, if he's not happy with that then its his right to complain, my personal standpoint is as long as the thing stays structurally strong i dont care if it gets a bit of surface corrosion during winter.
    Ive got my eye on a 3" system for mine at the moment but if that falls through i will be going for the OBX system.
