Induction kit and stage2 exhaust question??

[bing]

Guys I was just wondering, my 111r will come with a piper-cross induction kit and stage2 exhaust, apart from the daaaaaaaam sexxxy sound are there actually any real performance gains to be had from these products or am I still pushing about 190bhp!!!! Just wondering really as I count down the days (5 - 4 - 3 -2 is it here yet!!!!!)

Cheers

No real performance gains... just the fun noise really!

I'd be very careful here, I've had load's of issues with my Quicksilver & Pipercross induction kit combination, it kept tripping my Engine managment light. I've contacted Pipercross (Who seemed interested at first but didn't come back to me) Quicksilver who were only interested if there was a few of us with the same problem and Lotus who have still not given me a clear answer on warranty & feedback.

I'd get them to remove the Pipercross Induction kit unless there going to warranty the product just in case. I wouldn't but anything else or fit anything else from anyone else then Lotus just in case

Thanks boggy!!!

Did your car run ok with the light on and who paid for the diagnostics? Is the car ok now? And if so how did you resolve the problem?

The thing is I am buying from a private seller and he had the option fitted from new at an authorised Lotus Dealer.

The car is still in warranty it's an '05!!!

I am a bit worried in case I get the dreaded MIL/warranty issue!!!

It's running fantastic now but didn't run to cleaver with the light on, I think it might have been down to the wrong software loaded onto the Ecu but I have no doubt that that the combination caused the error in the first place, the new software was loaded by Lotus at Wilson's and they've done all the work. To be honest I don't want to part with her now even thou I've got the money for an Exige S, she run's so well and sound's cracking, I'd just make sure that the Induction kit is covered first, give the dealer a quick call just to make sure

The Pipe will be fine as it's a Lotus product

will do mate, are you still running it with the pipercross and stage2!!!

I've spoken to Lotus and they say that basically they'll cover Lotus's own parts and any additions i.e the pipercross is covered by the manufacturer...

Ok just rang the dealer, they said that the Lotus warranty would not be invalidated due to the piper-cross!!! Woo hoo!!! figures crossed and lets hope for the best!!!!
