just a quick one to see if any more members in the UK

just bought new silver GCSRT8 great fun but needs lot more rubber on it

stock so far but plans afoot for change

There is a few of us. I am in Essex. Black with BB (Loud system) Cat back.

good to hear

are you running on standard UK spec wheels and tyres?

also who fit your cat back for you?

cheers

Standard wheels & tyres. Cat Back was bought from Southern Hot Rod & fitted by a friend who owns a garage. Jeep would not touch the fitting of it, but they have never mentioned it being non stock on any service or Warranty work.

spoke to Southern looking like going for BB myself

what are your thoughts on yours?

ie how does it sound and fit compared to stock?

also what are your thoughts on the Corsa system?

Cheers

Another Silver UK owner, down in the South, although I get up to Leeds quite frequently.

I also went for the B&B from Southern (quiet option), great sound. I have also switched away from run-flats as you cannot get the Pirelli's even if you wanted to !

The loud option is very loud!! And I had my doubts when I first had it fitted it. Because it was quite loud at certain speeds inside the car, but now I love it for me it has made the Jeep complete, and everybody turns to look when it drives along the street & in a multi-storey car park it sounds amazing. It can still be a bit wearing when I am driving from the airport in the early hours of the morning but I would not be without it. I also still have the original exhaust just in case.
If you are at all unsure I would advise try the regular option, and the worst way the only difference is the size of the mufflers(very US huh!!!) at the back, which I am sure Southern Hot rod would be able to ship different back section if you really didn't like the sound.

cheers boys

looks like i better get spending then

i will get back onto Southern and sort it

prob also going for air intake

cheers again:cheers:

anyone else out there in the good old UK?

sorry also forgot to ask if anyone has upgraded wheels plus tyres ie size

standard tyres just dont feel as though enough rubber on the road

or is that just me

I have had no problems with tyres but this time of year on greasy roads the jeep can get a little frisky but that can be fun because you can play with it a bit in the right places.
As for a CAI I would be very careful I think Jeep will moan about the warranty and I think they do not fit on European spec vehicles, but I think Mark has looked into this more than me so I think he will have a more definitive answer.

The Falken's I have are 255/45's, so slightly wider. Much better in the wet than the run-flats. You could push up to 275/40's but this about the limit for the width.

The CAI's should fit no problem, but DC UK are pretty hot on warranty issues - anything to get out of spending money !!

I had to fight with them to get the rear pads done under warranty (TSB).

Just had mine back from it's 22K service. Had the G40 recall done and enabled the side mirror tilt in reverse option.

HAD TO GET NEW FRONT PADS - £600 !!!!!!!

cheers again

Mark what was the G40 recall and is this something i need to look at

ive got a 2007 8 weeks old 1500 miles

See my quiet option at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1FYy__i9BQ

I took it down to a track day and it only just passed the 100db limit ! (95db) - I think the loud option would have failed.
