Jhoo Neutral Newbie January 13, 2005 Share January 13, 2005 I seriously thinking of fixing a 2nd hand supersprint (LTA approved), only reason its CHEAPER than new!Is it advisable?(Somehow, I also feel like changing my nick to "Cheapo" ) ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvinch Neutral Newbie January 13, 2005 Share January 13, 2005 Hi, I also bought my Supersprint 2nd hand at less than half the price of a new one for my Mondeo. Got it fixed by Jeep Chee but have to pay about $200 for both installation and transfer fee. No problems whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Neutral Newbie January 13, 2005 Share January 13, 2005 do Jeep Chee sell 2nd hand? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhoo Neutral Newbie January 13, 2005 Author Share January 13, 2005 May be doing that at Jeep Chee also, $200 for installation + transfer. Any reasons why so much, I tot application to LTA for transfer only $60+? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvinch Neutral Newbie January 13, 2005 Share January 13, 2005 Bought it from an ex-Mondeo owner who upgraded. I think S200 is inclusive of labour, transfer and also approval. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhoo Neutral Newbie January 16, 2005 Author Share January 16, 2005 Just installed the SS, still trying to get used to the "Humming". I personally find it quite loud. Probably my stock was too quiet! How do you feel about the sound? My air intake is still stock, do you think breathing better will help(K&N)to reduce the sound? The tune was fanstastic when starting the engine, but finds it noisy when crusing at 3000rpm. Wifey & kids are already complaining they felt What to do?

Zen Neutral Newbie January 16, 2005 Share January 16, 2005 the note is the characteristic of the exhaust, either u like it, or u feel it's too noisy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvinch Neutral Newbie January 16, 2005 Share January 16, 2005 Dear Jhoo, You might experience a loss in low-end torque after fitting the Supersprint. If so, try get an air intake device like the E68 to regain it. The K&N drop-in will improve the throttle but probably not the noise level. You can buy it on Ebay.

Jhoo Neutral Newbie January 17, 2005 Author Share January 17, 2005 Ya, I would expect & learn to appreciate the sweet low bassy humming from a aftermarket exhaust. On previous occasions, i have heard the reving the engines on stationary rides and thus decided to have one for myself when I'm offered the chance. I have never drove in one before & didn't know what to expect while inside the car? I'm still a noob in aftermarket parts, and was wondering whether soundproofing at the bbot area and floor plan would help? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhoo Neutral Newbie January 17, 2005 Author Share January 17, 2005 No improvement felt as at present, hopefull that the upgrade of intake will help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhoo Neutral Newbie January 17, 2005 Author Share January 17, 2005 Got the bass, going for the growl, still need a piggy to attain the real performance. Need the $, contemplating buying ear plugs for the passengers instead of sound proofing . The owner whom you know may be letting go his piggy....but cant afford his asking price!
