Urgently need a good x pipe and spacers 22mm front and 25mm rear.

Anyone selling or recommendations?

H&R is a good bet.

I found autodoc to have the best prices.

I bought some, then returned them as I decided to keep it stock.

Yes they aren’t as good with spacers, the ride is compromised, stress on arms and wheel bolts. No liability just improves the car removing them.
I have often wondered if there was a link to having spacers and early wheel bearing failure, but guess not or it would have been discussed here.

The problem with coming up with a link between spacers and wheel bearing / suspension arm failure is that they sometimes fail anyway.

What we can say is the they produce more load through the scrub radius and lever lengths, so choose your poison. Personally, I wouldn’t.

Add to that the age of the cars.

In the end I fitted it together with Larini back boxes and I am very pleased with the sound, no motorway drone and quiet enough at tickover but great when revved. The quality of Jason's work is highly recommended and I bought directly from him for 420GBP (07555-675503). I also know of a Larini X pipe for sale but it is for a GS, and I assume different dimensions on the Gran Turismo.

Might be interested in the Larini X pipe, could you let me have details please.
