    I've got one of Marco's downpipes and it is superb. While it may not be all shiny and bling on the outside (although it still looks great) it is perfection inside with beautifully smooth welds and flow between the wG pipe and the DP.

    As I said to Marco when I recieved it, we don't buy these things for how they look, rather what they do.

    As for value I can't think of anywhere you would be able to buy such a well made and hand crafted downpipe without paying 8-10 times what Marco charged.

          IIRC Marco has had to have some time away from his S2 and related projects recently. I know that someone asked him in the summer about these DPs, but I think he's had more important things to deal with.

              Is there no U.K based people with the contacts who could make these downpipes?

                I know someone who can I'd need an ABY downpipe initially to work from though. Pic below from a urS6..

                  Would Sal or Bry have one knocking around?

                    This is the hard part mate, the rest is easy. An ADU downpipe would be even better but whats the chances of finding one of those?
                    This is all thats holding things up for the guy.

                      Hmm, i was think maybe someone like S2avant and Tekkno would have one as they've had Marco downpipes fitted.

                      Is the 3B downpipe the same as the ABY? i know Sal broke a 3B a while back so he'd have one.

                            I'll bring the ADU DP with me on Saturday to Croft.
                            Is that any good?

                              In Spain, it would get expensive and be risky trying to send a DP betwix Spain and the uk as I have 3 parcels which have "gone missing" totalling £750 with the ****king PO
