Xceed Masterfix Pipes & springs

New from Xceed, and made in Germany, their new range of Masterfix pipes are super strong, high performance pipes that work on the most popular model car engines like NR, Max, Picco, Mega, Sirio and more. Available for 1/10th and 1/8th on road and 1/8th off road, the pipes are CNC machined instead of being pressed into shape, the advantage being that they are stronger, consistent and a higher quality aluminium can be used. The parts of the pipes are then precision soldered together with top quality pressure nipple and flanges. The supplied springs and silicone seals are also of superb quality. Under the Xceed MF line Xceed also offer some special made exhaust mounting springs and .12 and .21 long exhaust springs in normal way and a new version which allows a nicer fit between engine and carburetor.
