Because... GDi exhaust in development with Piper - £370 Piper exhaust in development with GDi - £299 Hmmmm, are they really going to be different???

Yeh, I'll give all parties a phone monday to clear it up Dave, I know - soz if I came across a bit rash just annoyed!

I don't want this thread turning into a GDi bashing, there might be an honest reason, or maybe not!

Yeh, they give this special discount where you get charged more than going some where else for a product they claim is specific to them ;)

But I didn't get free fitting :S

Mate, You presumed I didn't know what I was talking about, I mean i forgot to mention I had a full engine rebuild for that £420 - NOT!

No I know what I bought! Else I wouldn't be kicking up a fuss would I???!

Yes, £420 fitted, £370 for the exhaust!

So I bought for £370 the new GDi exhaust system marketed as a GDi system. Then I'm in WHSmiths today flicking through French Performance Magazine (May have the name wrong but you know which one I mean!) and in the new stuff section there's a new PIPER system developed in conjunction with GDi on...

3.1 litres. Fill plug is a butterfly plastic nut on front, drain is a 8mm square socket plug on the bottom. I bought a funnel with a long flexi bit attached that went straight into the fill plug. Easy

Used Comma 75w90 - £17 for 3.5litres My sump plug was leaking hence the change. When I unscrewed it it was only finger tight and the washer was in perfect condition so just reused it, else I had some spares from work.

.....and boy was it dirty! Absolutely filthy, so much dirt in it, was told to expect it to be relatively clean but it was a black cloudy solution! Mines only a 02reg on 39k miles! Fully recommend doing it.

EASY EASY job to change them, and mine was £21 from dealer. Takes about 15mins to do, the exhaust sits much better and lost a tiny rattle I had before. Why bodge when you can do a proper fix for £21 and 15mins???

cool!

Hi So once they're fitted the black rubber bit sit just above the shell due to the washer raising it up 3mm, this correct? Cheers Tom

I paid £83 for my exhaust and lowering springs with Admiral

He also wants superhuman powers, FHM Top 100 Women at his disposal night and day and a tree that money grows on! :rasp:

Yeh, spend more now to save later. I've got a 4Ch Alpine V Power amp . 4 X 40 RMS for sale if your interested? PM me if you are

Same, my TomTomOne has 5/5 signal all the time no matter where it is. Good write up though

Don't even waste a breath worry about it. At work we ship out cars at 60psi to stop flat spots and they're still absolutley fine!

Cast Aluminium I'm pretty sure

Yeh I've got all the tools, but I know I'll grab a hand full of various washers from work and I'll be stood their like a plonker with none of them fitting properly! Any chance you could measure up at some point? Cheers

Hi What are the washer sizes for: Sump Plug Gearbox Sump Plug Gearbox Drain Plug Cheers! Tom

How loud a system is depends on the person listening, just take that into consideration when asking advice. I've got the NON stealth version of the GDi system. Very pleased with the build quality. Obviously can't comment on what the stealth system will sound like but my exhaust is deep rather...

As in the GDi system? I had it fitted yesterday!! I'll be doing a right up at some point, so watch this space!

Yeh mines a little lumpy, epsecially on start up in the morning. Once it's been running for a few mins and its up to temperature then mines fine.

Hi Quick one - Are the Torque Values for things such as Suspension, Brakes, Manifolds, Genral engine parts etc the same for all Clio's across the range? And as such the figures for the 172 can be found in the Haynes manual? Thanks Tom

Racing Blue (I think), Stopped for a chat on the round about :) Also, 51reg Monaco Blue with exhaust - quicker than me :o

Silver 172 parked up by Top Park about 2.30ish Monaco Blue 172 parked on the parade about 4.30ish Blue 172 Cup Twin Exhaust heading down Brunswick St about 5ish Anyone?
