4C8 Y pipe question
Thinking of getting a Y pipe for my 2007 4c8 and just wondered what peoples experiences are with the different brands, some guy on a facebook group told me the Akrapovic ones are a b1tch to fit?  PLus Akra Y costs a fortune.
What have people fit on here? Found this on ebay seems legit and only costs an arm, not an arm and leg!

Re: 4C8 Y pipe question
+1 for the mivv. I got mine new delivered for £100. Welds on mine are fine, fitted perfectly and my right leg no longer catches fire in the summer, so win win for me

Re: 4C8 Y pipe question
I have no idea , the ones in your link look like stainless , which will be fine , just depends on what your lookin for, I have no experience on the mivv or any other just saying that the akra does fit fine and you can get em cheap 2nd hand now 
 , im sure the mivv be fine goin by what the lads are saying
