cheers!

funny at the end how the guy just threw the cansiter in the box!
bit more real than the akrapovic manufacturing video,where they treat the exhausts like works of art(im sure not like that in reality..)

Aah pipes! The magic of aftermarket pipes!
I'll likely get flamed here as we all believe a particular brand holds magical qualities.

Looking back at this I recall a few years ago a company that made perhaps 80% of the pipes and cans for most aftermarket brands. Being in industrial fabrication management while I was employed in Cali I came across this operation. Perhaps it is an Italian outfit that makes these systems for Arrow, Akrapovic, Micron, Termignoni, and several other well recognized brands. Once I researched it I immediately saw the resemblance in design and build between all the brands. Traveling to Italy several times for work and as I had contracted Ferrari design to do a percentage of project development for our product I was exposed to this company as a recommended Ferrari vendor for motorized vehicle exhaust fabrication.

Materials, closing bands, rivets, cores, bending, surface finish, and so on. All the same. Just a different label distinguished the brands. Maybe a slightly different end cone for exclusivity.

I should have retained the name of the company as their website showed all the brands but at the time I just smiled and accepted that as a job shop popping out a commodity this operation was on target and had good marketing penetration.

Yeah, i'm with Kurt on this one.
Definately like the Akra vid better.
Having said this though, i'm quite sure that Simon has the money on it.

Grab some pop corn and your wallet! There's a BIG differance between the two companies in my opinion. I mean seriously, how did they clone all the members of Divo to fill a warehouse full of workers?
