Hi All

Put your name down on this thread to show interest in taking part in a group buy for Gruppe S Stainless Headers.

Price at the moment is £400 including shipping for the headers and up-pipe.
So any group buy price will be less than £400



Clicky

Will leave the thread running for a week to guage interest, then quote prices for group buy if it's a goer

Cheers

Think they will be coming direct from Gruppe-s in the US. Cheaper that way.

Hi All

The price of £400 is based purely on what is has cost people on this board to import them from Gruppe S direct to their front door.

Gruppe S advertise them on their web site @ $499.00 which works out at around £300. Add VAT and shipping on top of that brings it up to £400.

The Gruppe S headers also come with an up-pipe!!

So we have:

What would scooby do
Muffleman

The price on the website is $499, they want $599 to ship to the UK and the import duties come out at £40.

$599 = £366.50 + £40 in taxes = £406.50

I have emailed Impreziv to see if they can do us a deal as well but I think the US price will be better.

Windows - Did you mail Gruppe-s? I dropped them an email incease you hadn't yet.

Tried phoning them a couple of times but I think they are all sleeping!!

They are not good at answering e-mails, so I'll try phoning them or you try later on in the afternoon?

Lmao at Windows!

He will do the best deal he can for us on the group buy. Ive bought to many goods from him and sent quite a lot of business his way to.

He will do us the best price he can but i think US may be cheaper

I would be interested at that price, but I'd like to know some of the 'Experts' opinions as to whether they offer any real performance gains over the standard manifold!! Also hows the fitting of this kit?? do they line up ok?

"The headers are hi-flow unequal length, the design being based on the HKS items. I spoke to a customer in Greece at the weekend (the only one of our customers to have done a before and after power plot) who claims 15% extra torque all the way thru the midrange and nearly 10% extra bhp at the top end, remapped but with the same boost level as before."

This was the response from Impreziv when I enquired about them a while ago. sounds worth it to me

D'oh. Just read the clicky, Windows!. That'll teach me for rushing thru the thread without reading it properly It would be a real shame to wrap those headers since they look so good!
These will fit a P1 I take it??

Pickle, I've been looking through some threads, but can't find conformation that the headers will fit a P1.
I'll ask them when I get them on the phone. (no answer yet)
Sorry, I'm not up to speed on the P1's engine spec, so wouldn't like to say for sure, but I "think" they will fit OK.

Can anyone confirm please?

They will fit a P1, all of the 'classic' scoob headers designs are the same.

Nothing on the email before I left work, will not be able to check that email until tuesday now. I am in no rush to get this sorted if anything it gives me time to save some cash for them.

Just keep trying the phone now and again, do they have an answering machine?
