Looks cheaply made!
VXpaul on MIG used to make them and they were only £200 and were made very well!

Well of course it's cheaply made, there's about a fivers worth of materials there then the gaskets on top.

tbf it doesnt look that bad to say its poorly made from those pictures is a bold statement and as for a fivers worth of materials please entert the real world.
The vx paul ones were very well made but then ruined by the fact they were at the wrong angle and hit the bulk head and also the pipes come out the end and crash into the header tank.
IMO this is a better design than the vx paul ones.
BTW I have no connection to the people selling this!

Can just fit, but better gains if you re-map and up the rev limiter

Good for you, and if that's the case, you'll realise there's quite a bit of time and effort that's gone into producing it, which is proberbly the reason why Ebay's not flooded with the things!
Doesnt look particularly bad to me though, and is probebrly the exact same design that Velos were charging more for the privalidge of owning!
If you don't happen to have a TIG welder, a need for bulk supplies of Ally square section and plate ally, a piller drill, the neccessary gaskets and connections, and a good day's worth of head scratching trying to get the holes in the right place, everything lined up properly so it fits, and the ability to weld properly.....
... £250's not that bad a price to pay

ive fitted at least 15 inlets now. the best one and easiest one to fit was the Velos torque tube. was also the simpleast design. the best design imo was the dbilas but more difficult to fit.
