[Let's buy together] AR Design 3" Catless Downpipes

RaihaX · 06-15-2011, 02:01 AM

The only problem with getting DPs is I don't know which shop I can trust to get it installed!

After a bad experience with my KW V1 I am so paranoid now...

Thanks for the reference price Kenny! Will definitely see whether our buying power is enough to get a discount.

That's not good to hear, I believe DPs require more expertise than the KWs to install

My downpipe installer wanted to shoot me when I went to pick up my car after the install.

It's just not for everyone.

$400 for shipping that hurts.

I bought my AA's for $544 plus $120 shipping. Cost me almost the same for install.

I seem to remember Dale rolling his eyes at the downpipe installation too.

Yeah I have to be honest and say I don't worry about costs quite as much as your average punter. I think as you get older (and richer) you stop caring to be honest. Terrible I know.

I hope when I get older I also have this problem

MrBlonde · 06-15-2011, 02:52 AM

I *should* care more, each dollar you save is another dollar you can spend on some other mod. But to be honest I don't care enough to try very hard. The decline of Western Civilisation!

err I was going to try the DP install myself...

...I'll let you know how I go

Yeah, that is exactly what I was thinking. At least we can get someone to install it together.

RaihaX · 06-15-2011, 09:31 AM

And hopefully he will do us a deal!

So flip a coin to see who goes first then

RaihaX · 06-15-2011, 09:51 AM

Or buy a ticket to fly Andrew over here haha...

Jeef Beef · 06-15-2011, 10:29 AM

Just got a reply from Andrew@ARdesign, telling me that he's organised a group buy with Andrew@southernbm.

So looks like team Andrew has something worked out for us. Can't wait
