Spotted These on ebay.
Has anybody tried a set? Are they any good?
Cheers,
Mike

Feck that's a bit steep. There are a few guy's on here that have used these successfully. :)

As good as FCRs?
Or just inferior copies?

I have those and love 'm.
It just that there are only FCR believers on here. :P
Kedo might be even cheaper (€ 1000)?
You want the bellmouths with them though:
Item 32292: TDMR Sports-Kit for TDMR Flat Slide Carburettor

Costs € 90 extra.

I bought a set from Kedo a couple of years ago. I paid approx. €959 at that time. They are about €999 now.
Well worth the money!
I'm not quite sure how many HP's they add, since I haven't had the time to get a proper Dyno adjustment yet.
BUT - they sound great and are a very easy swap to the original ones.
I had in mind buying FCR's but they were too expensive, even second hand ones.
