too be fair they are probably made in the same factory in china and are branded in the uk slightly differently hence the price tag. Dont think you would notice any difference in performance or quality. although as said, if you buy from a trader you have peice of mind incase something is not right or broken, through ebay you may have problems as the warranties are "usually" crap! are the ones of ebay from china? in which case u may need to pay import charges etc, i havent looked myself as to where they are coming from mind you.

The pipework on those are both piss poor.

They both go up and to the right, over the top of the exhaust manifold.

The HDi kit goes up and left, away from the massive heat source, and down by the front of the belts.

Hdi Hdi Hdi!

If you fit it right, they're wonderful.

Had to take quite a bit out of mine, but I run a TOMS bumper on an 82.

The result...
