To quote S2TinyFlier ‘Certainly feels as if the pick up is much sharper.
The diameter of the lower pipe in particular is much larger than the standard plastic (oddly shaped!) unit so airflow is undoubtedly much improved’.
The Bad Points
In the year that these have become available, Janspeed have routinely increased their price forcing Smartarse Design to increase theirs to cover the cost.
Originally they retailed for £69.99 but due to Janspeed’s price increase they are now £105 plus postage and packaging. Personally I think the price has stepped over the boundary. I hope that Smartarse tells Janspeed to stick it and finds an alternative manufacturer.
