piper or supersprint centre section owners please read!!!

[blackie_2k5]

as above, not been sure what my centre section was since bought it second hand (couple of weeks old allegedly) first thought it was mild steel and as was painted heatproof black, thought sportex??, just give it another coat of heat proof black as its off before going my my new car..... but after wire brushing it its s/s under the paint, it has a small plaque with a 5 digit number on it? sound farmiliar too anyone? no brand name anywhere? just curious tbh:y:

[jeffchiz]

my supersprint centre pipe is in two sections, dunno if that helps you or not, dunno if the piper centre sections are a one or two piece

[blackie_2k5]

this is a one piece, just curious to the make tbh? dont really matter like lol.. with my piper backbox and 4-2-1 it makes a sweet sound!! so i wont be getting rid in a hurry, just wondering lol

[SaxoJamie]

my supersprint centre section was in two pieces also and iirc it did have some random numbers embedded in it.

[jeffchiz]

so i think we can rule out supersprint then lol

[blackie_2k5]

yeah im guessing so lol

[bluenotesmiley]

Older Supersprint centre sections were 1 piece, might have been olds stock.

[lharrowing]

yeah old ones were 1 piece they later changed to two piece

[joe333]

yeh min eis in 2 parts as well mate! and has numbers somewhere :P

[raunchz]

whats the 5 digit number on the plate ?

sounds like a supersprint tbh

[LWS_71]

I had a piper centre section and that was in two pieces. Don't remember it having any numbers on it. As above its probably an old supersprint. Are you sure it is s/s?

[stupotvtr]

my supersprint is a single piece bought it ages ago though

[stokesy]

sounds like a supersprint imo, already comes in black, 1 piece and has something stamped on.. mines coming off the car on sunday, will have a butchers then and let you know if looks like it

[MJ05LLY]

My suspersprint is one piece too

[MJ05LLY]

Lol nobody wants my wheels because there 16".. too big i spose :(!

Look spot on to me bud, when i get a set i want 16's

The thread can go back on topic now!!!

[KamRacing]

the supersprint part numbers are 6 digit.
Supersprint started making the centre pipes in two pieces from mid 2009 as the long single piece ones were costing a fortune to courier overseas.

cheers for the replies ppls. it has 82423 iirc stamped on a metal plaque thats welded to the pipe with o snot either side. nice pipe, sounds great with my backbox

[Mr_P]

How do you know it's stainless steel and not mild? :wacko:

[KamRacing]

If its painted black it will either be mild steel or aluminised steel. Shiny bare metal will be stainless

[blackie_2k5]

i know its stainless steel because i know what stainless steel looks like lmao
