QuickSilver Stainless Steel Backbox Group buy

Dennis I fully understand your frustrations. We all feel the same. Ant and I have already missed an "event" where we would have loved to have had the b/boxes fitted. :roll: But they have arranged for the return of the parts themselves, we have not had to arrange anything or pay for anything. Which is good.

If it is of any consolation I still believe these are from one of the best manufacturers of exhausts for the V6. Looking at the pictures they are clearly high quality items. They also fitted perfectly (hangers, tail pipes, and one entry pipe) except for the single erroneous pipe position. I fully expect this to be resolved and all the rest to fit perfectly. With hand made, in low volume like this, these things do happen. Especially when you are talking about a car as rare as the Vee.

On a personal level I am acutely aware that I have "sold" this deal to so many people, only for them all to be let down.

Yeah I wasnt meaning to sound grumpy or moody, Peter and dont feel for one minute that your responsible for letting people down, it was each individuals desicion to buy one.

Yeah I have seen the pic and they do look extremmely "Posh" if I do say so.

I like the rest of you am just feeling the frustrations of wanting my back box.

Soz. :cry:

when i ordered my back box James told me they had to tone the noise down from the inital prototype box. i hope they havent toned them down too much.has anyone else started up the vee without the back box on,it just sounds like a full race metro 6r4.
 
Dennis, we all feel a bit like that. We have paid and want it ASAP – it is like being told Christmas has been postponed until the 2nd or 3rd week in January (well, unless you are a Jew or a Muslim). It is disappointing. But we will get these boxes, they will be of superb quality and hopefully we'll all be pleased. If there is one thing the Vee would benefit from more than anything else it is a better sounding exhaust, with the possible exception of the Orbisoud we couldn't have chosen better.
 
QS ordered today :D :D
After my recent KT problems, i feel i have no other choice and lets face it, its a good choice
 
Im just far to impatient, :twisted:

Had to wait 3 weeks for my BMC, was on the fone everyday asking for it.

Best bit was tho even if I got it I couldnt of drove the car...Had a broken leg at the time.
 
Peter,

Is there any chance of requesting these back boxes to be different volume levels based on our individual requirements, I am just a bit concerned to read in the thread that QS have toned down the noise they make, in my eyes i want it as loud as possible.
 
It won't be toned down that much. The backbox is 2/3rds the size of the original we already have.

Yes I think it is possible. One of the other buyers has asked for the same thing. And TBH I want it LOUD too! :twisted:

BUT the first need to be made standard to get something to judge against so I guess i'm just unlucky. :( The rest however could be tailored by QS. Tom has already asked for this and QS are holding his awaiting feedback from hearing my b/box fitted. I feel sure other could do so also but this will obviously delay delivery! :? Its up to you really. Feel free to speak to QS but they must (obviously) not make yours for a while if you want to hear a standard one first. There will be further delay if you put in bespoke requirements. I am far too impatient to wait any longer than necessary.

Peter :D
 
Pete, are you going to call James and tell him not to hold back on ours. I want it funcking loud as well.
