I wouldnt buy Fox alloys because there bloodly heavy and ive heard too many stories about them buckling(and there fucking ugly)- You cant say peco exhausts are as bad as fox alloys

Every time this post comes up peco gets slated by people that havnt got one- Those who have bought peco will usually say the worst thing about them is that they rust fast- This is reflected by the price

I had a BB2 back box for nearly 1 year and never had a problem. Only thing i didnt like was the angle it sat at.

I think that about the best quote so far has been, "You get what you pay for"

If you're on a budget they're ok, I've got a power master and am fairly happy with it, takes a while to warm up but sounds ok. You just don't get a real deep note taht you do from Magnex etc.

A lifetime guarantee WHICH DOESN'T COVER AGAINST RUST......just thought I'd comment that, because as you can see from the link below, this is the kind of condition a full stainless-steel exhaust can get to and not be covered by Powerflow's guarantee:
