Mickus ( MS 700 ) entrusts his XC monster to them and speaks highly of their work. Also they are site sponsors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 10/08/08 09:30 AM Share Posted 10/08/08 09:30 AM I got quotes for the exact same thing recently from 3 forum sponsors up here in Sydney. 1 said they would get back to me and never did, 1 was way more expensive what you got quoted and the other was slightly cheaper than that. Can you guess who I went with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they are site sponsorsGen tech quoted me 2030$ for the exact same thing, they want 990$ for a tune, which I think is a rip, I got my exhaust and CAI done by them quite a few months ago, and said it would be fine to drive around with till I get a tune, now since I called them they are saying that they did not say that and do not recommend it. it cost me 3000 for a xforce exhaust and cai installed, no tune.

When we quote x force systems or any other system, we quote for turbo flange studs & nuts for the dump pipe & the turbo base stud & nuts because there normally broken or not there!I welcome you to get a tune done for $550 or less! but please give us a call when you need full custom tune &/or a new engine................Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinkboy Member 40 Member For: 16y 11m 13d Posted 11/08/08 07:26 AM Author Share Posted 11/08/08 07:26 AM It actually came down to 500$ for the tune I recieved compared to the 990$.And I was told "should be fine" about the exhaust at gen tech. . I was not told about any nuts or bolts that were needed . all in all I ended up paying 2999$ for that and the CAI. And you kept my Original exhuast...I am sure you guys do great work there and I have heard many great things about Gentech, but way to expensive for what it is, you should really have your prices comparable to sydney prices. which are way more realistic.I didnt start this thread to have a go at Gen Tech, another forum member asked me about "gentech" so I replied with my experince of it.
