Spluttering at near-walking pace...

Chugging at Central London filtering pace...

Smooth blasting along A roads speed...

Hypersonic and hanging on for dear life...

Stopped/broken down

Mine ran great out of the crate, saddest thing was when the stock exhaust went rusty and I put a Remus on it...

My Ulys have been ace.

Bear in mind on any forum you only really hear the bad.

Like pash, mine have been great!

The stock exhausts are crap, but then most folks replace them for a nicer sounding one anyway.

Long story short (too late) they're awesome. Love mine to bits.

As above. Replace the stock exhaust, put some decent rubber on it and enjoy. Remember forums generally only have horror stories.

Bought my XB12Scg when it was 6 months old. Already had Remus Exhaust and free spirits tensioner on it. Have put Maz's gearbox grease nipple mod on, and have put Pirelli Diablo Corsa 3's on front and rear.

I'm having the time of my life....!!!! :dance: :dance: :yup:
