Sounds like a good purchase. I know someone who does chips for Rover diesels and to flash a chip with the program costs a few quid so he can sell them on at a low price and make profit, sounds alot like what this guy is doing.
I'm not argueing over the price, its the fact that the system I've got is meant to be a GDi system only, and yet Piper have suddenly come up with their own - and it's £70 cheaper.
As for how I deal with it, I spend all week on the phone haggling with people and discussing stuff, I want to enjoy...
I know, hence why I'm going to look into it on Monday. As far as i'm aware though this was going to be a specific GDi system and Piper weren't bringing there own out
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???
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
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...
