« on: 15 September 2008, 11:15:49 »

No they dont, at least mine did not. Still double skin but not chrome and not angled. Pipes are square cut at the end and are the same material as the rest of the box in appearance.

 They have changed the construction of the boxs so youll get a round tube with 2 end caps for the silencer rather than the original pressed top and bottom halfs. New one is lighter and will probably catch less water with the round shape.

And they don't come with the clamps already fitted/welded in place.
