May be interested. How long would you need the car for? Quite some distance so a few days probably achievable but longer would be a problem.

We would only need the car for one week, Mon-Fri.

Would also be interested, sent you a mail to the piper address. I'm off on Holiday for 2 weeks so you could possibly have it for 10 days if required?
Only issues is I'm in Scotland.

I've replied to your email.

If you're happy to drop the car off at our factory in Kent that wouldn't be a problem  :smiley:

I presume a GTD is no good?

I'd imagine that at some point a GTD system will be developed but if the company is looking to manufacture a GTI system then a GTD won't be very helpful.

I'm doing my bit to support British Manufacturing.   Next week my car is in the shop having it's Piper designed.  2.5" or perhaps a 3" Stainless Steel Cat back system 

Do you think it will sound :cool:

We'll get some photographs and videos up once this system is complete.

Is there anything anyone would like to see?

2.5"/3", choice of 0/1/2 silencers, twin tailpipes etc.

Post by: Cliff_944 on 04 July 2012, 18:48
Probably the twin pipe looks best but I'm wondering what the oval option looks like on the GTD - does look right with the Golf rear diffuser.  For the Mk5 GTi there is an option of a 6"x4" oval end pipe.  Do you think this would look good?
Title: Re: Free Piper exhaust for your MK6 Golf
Post by: Mr GTD on 04 July 2012, 23:09
Yes twin tails sound :cool:

Your probably right. The Scirocco R has Ovals - see the photo below.   But the GTD only has the pipes on one side.

Yeah they look very cool, that shape of tail as a twin(on the one side for the GTD) wud look stunning! Looking forward to seeing yours, is this costing you Cliff or are you a tester man and getting a sweet deal?

I'm the 'tester man' for the GTD and they are doing it for free....  They just need the car for a few days to do the R&D.  They are still looking for a Mk6 GTi....

If it wasn't so far and they have a car I could borrow, I'd probably be tempted!
