Welcome Aboard
Loads of pipes out there for the Storm. Quite a personal choice really you can choose them by
volume or style
Mind you if power is what you're after you won't find a quiet one

Hi Nick,
Welcome to the fray
Got Micron race cans (low swept) on mine, Sounds awesome
Seeing as it appears they've gone bust (well parent company has, and taken them down too) could be some bargains happening.

Welcome aboard Nick, am not far from you. I can also thoroughly recommend Powerlinks down at Ringwood - Mark down there is a real whizz with Firestorms and very reasonable.
