Here is a picture of the steel pipes that were shipped with my Kirkham:
I don't know what the general concensus is, but I don't like them.
Here are a couple of pictures on the "new" new style steel pipes. They aren't brilliant, but they are much better than the first set and I can live with them. Joe is sending me a new pair of collectors so I will need to cut off my current ones and weld the new ones on.
This pictures came from Joe and he won't let on what the shiny alloy bits are in the background  I guess all will become clear on that front on the open day.

When I put them next to a shot of my pipes I think the new Kirkham's are actually "racier" than the old style pipes. They're different alright, but I really do like them. Here are both shots, one on top of the other -- the difference really is quite remarkable.

I can see I need to have a lesson with Joe on "What's in the background when I am taking a picture."

Patrick, thanks for the comparison pics.
David, leave Joe alone. He may have to be "knighted" or "sainted" after putting up with me and all my questions.  |

I'm sorry David, I didn't intend to drop Joe in the mire, he's been a real star 
I should point out that my opinions on the side pipes are purely subjective and reflect my personal preference. One thing I will say is that the quality of fit is first class. Once the silencer is slid onto the headers, the mounting bracket is in exactly the right place to fit onto the car. No tweaking or "adjusting" required.

Are the diameters of the pipes before the collectors the same as the old pipes? Do these pipes flow any better than the old pipes?
