I turned 25 this last Saturday ;)

Stainless LCBs are expensive! I'd say get a nice steel one and save some money! I need to get a replacement for my tired paint flaking one.

I heat wrapped it but it didn't last long nor is terribly required!

Look under Projects, A Series, Shiny new LCB.
At £93 I'm well pleased, no worries about rust there anymore :D

I take that back! For the cost of two lcbs may as well get the stainless one that you won't need to replace in a few years time for the same price!

Add that as another thing to the list of future purchases!

Installed this LCB as well and it's a gem. Because it's Mini it sits about 1cm lower than a standard Metro exhaust but that's easy rectified. Looks fantastic. For details and advise on pipe clamps see an earlier post.
