#1: So Shocking I had to share! Author: G1ggs, Location: WiganPosted: Tue Aug 09, 2011 5:14 am ---- I've not posted on here for a while but I just had to share this.
My 180 needs a new back box and was thinking of going with a Scorpion but a local garage has managed to source me an origianl Peugeot 180 back box for £197 fitted.
Out of interest (and for a laugh) I gave my local Peugeot dealer a call for a quote on a 180 Back box fitted. I couldn't believe what amount they said it was going to be. I thought being Peugeot in would be around the £400 mark but oh no the total amount, with fitting was,
drum roll...............................£572
I then asked how much for the part alone........................£540
Extracting the Urine is putting it nicely

#3: Re: So Shocking I had to share! Author: G1ggs, Location: WiganPosted: Tue Aug 09, 2011 5:23 am ---- I did say to the lad on the phone after I picked myself up off the floor from laughing.
#4: Re: So Shocking I had to share! Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Aug 09, 2011 5:27 am ---- those are listed price. i don't know why you are shocking about that.
garage get stuff at trade price, not surprise if they can replace it cheaper.

I knew a Peugeot dealer would be the most expensive but that price is a bit ridiculous
#7: Re: So Shocking I had to share! Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Tue Aug 09, 2011 5:43 am ---- I'm gonna be honest with you.
I'm not sure what's more ridiculous; the fact that the worlds most crappily made exhaust is £590 from Peugeot, or that you are still going to pay £197 for said crappily made exhaust from somewhere else.

glad you don't have a german or renault
and i bet the garage are not using oem exhuast anyway better to get a stainless steel exhuast make up that will last for life.
#9: Re: So Shocking I had to share! Author: G1ggs, Location: WiganPosted: Tue Aug 09, 2011 5:48 am ---- I know what you mean bud. Like I said I was tempted to go with Scorpion but I heard they had bad build quality and I'm not keen on the Janspeed as it to loud for my liking.
#10: Re: So Shocking I had to share! Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Tue Aug 09, 2011 5:54 am ---- Scorpion has a lifetime guarantee, and although the Janspeed is my preferred choice i've never heard of problems with Scorpion systems.
#11: Re: So Shocking I had to share! Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue Aug 09, 2011 5:54 am ---- just get one with a lifetime warranty lol
#12: Re: So Shocking I had to share! Author: E5GDM, Location: EssexPosted: Tue Aug 09, 2011 7:36 am ---- As far as I know, you cant get an after market exhaust for a 180, other than the likes of Janspeed & scorpion.

Someone on here had a hole in the Scorpion exhaust they had.
But apart from that I've only heard good things. Janspeed is a bit loud for my liking.

you can get an aftermarket exhaust for anything you want if you go to one of the places that make them to order. powerflow etc
#15: Re: So Shocking I had to share! Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Tue Aug 09, 2011 8:54 am ---- my exhaust was £70 for backbox and middle section fully fitted from an exhaust garage
£570! what a stupidly high price! I wonder how much they want for a full exhaust system inc cat.. lol
#16: Re: So Shocking I had to share! Author: G1ggs, Location: WiganPosted: Mon Aug 15, 2011 8:34 am ---- Decided to try and get a Scorpion Back Box. Best deal I can get is £275 from Ebay. Anyone know anywhere cheaper?
