Finally arrived today . Just fitted. About to go out for a drive.
Getting my spare rocker cover shot blasted, and painted gloss black. Also have a Janspeed manifold to be fitted, and hopefully buying a De-cat from some one of here.
Here's some pictures:

Replaces the upper inlet mate. Improves air flow, and increases BHP

Nope. This is brand new, from Germany. 
It's so much better, from about 4500 rpm it pulls all the way to the limiter, it revs so much better. At about 6500 it used to lose power, but now .

I don't see how these give good gains if you still have the tubing around the back of the engine
