no,it's the ipp smic's ,i take it they're generous with performance figures but for £346 are they good value ,and a straight swop with no xtra pipework or wangling to fit req'd?

If memory serves, the general consensus was that IPPs don't work that well...

Got them and noticed an increase in 2ng gear pulling. Physically miles better than the stock ones which is really all I wanted them for (piece of mind).

Heh, not as easy as they would make you believe. You have to loosen the AC and Radiator and the oil cooler (pump?) on the driver side made it quite tight. Fair amount of swearing and brute force required.
