Hi all,
I just wanted to get some opinions regarding modifying a car that is on a finance agreement such as PCP.
I bought mine on this scheme, as I imagine many have, as quite honestly I didn't have £50k in cash ready to outlay and, with serious head on knowing that I change cars every two-three years it made sense and still does. Anyway, I'm with the car for another year but the modifying itch is strong. I'm not talking about a supercharger or full exhausts, or a removable tune using a MyGenius even, but I'm strongly considering a Cat Delete (not the gutted version as I'm about 500miles from Edinburgh where this service is advertised here) which is going to be a fairly obvious modification to MB.
What are your thoughts?
I know, obviously that this would wave off the warranty concerning all exhaust related faults and hell, if a main dealer wants to create a shht storm over engine issues and wriggle out by blaming it on an exhaust, they will but the M156 seems reliable enough so there's a certain amount of "fingers crossed" there. I suppose I'm hopeful that, even though a secondary cat delete only makes one cut and clamp to the exhaust system, come the time to return the car and refit the cats, MB wouldn't mind so much.
