Not seen these before but it's interesting because it looks very similar to the PPE which is a great piece of kit and one of the best available.

Wonder if it's worth posting on Spyderchat to see if any of the guys over there have any feedback on them first? I could be interested in one too.

there is a few threads on there,those that have them seem to like them. i'd say the secret weapon r is the one to go for, better looking filter and comes with the pipe attachment to feed to your side vent...just wondering what import charges are likely to be???

It does look a decent bit of, the main downside as far I can see is that it doesn't have a heat shield which the PPE does. I'd guess the charges will be VAT at 20% plus a handling charge?
