k-tec exhaust

[coxy79]

The standard exhaust on my 172 cup started to fall apart a few weeks back and after a bit of searching (and saving!) I plumped for a k-tec stealth exhaust.

This turned up on time and well packed, it was pretty easy to fit (if your mate owns a garage and is willing to let you use a ramp!). So far I'm very impressed, sounds much better and the car feels more responsive. I'd say its a little faster but that might be because I haven't been able to drive the bugger properly for three weeks!

All in all I'd say a good buy and I'd recommend it, anyone else used k-tec?

Cheers

yea i've got a k-tec stealth as well on my Cup, the note is a lot tighter and its very very subtle when your crawling along, as soon as you open the throttle though, it has a bit of a menacing sound!

it sounds awesome coupled with my Viper i/k and decat

My mate had a K-tec stealth on his cup. Sounded nice and subtle when driving arround town, but as soon as you opened the throttle it was an animal! Hes now got a Pro-speed straight through exhaust with decat and that is loud!!
Strange thing about the k-tec was the box in the centre of the exhaust was hollow!!

thats meant to be another silencer isnt it?

[Nick_R182]

Yep its supposed to be!

I was going to get a Ktec, but ended up getting a Powerflow instead, because I was driving round with no exhaust, and powerflow could fit it asap. Ktecs are supposed to be very good though.

Hi Guys - have mk1 172 and after a visit to ktec - group n remap/ stealth exhaust and sports cat/ and viper induction - now revs to 7800, (70 in 2nd and 100 in 3rd) - bit droney at low speed - lovely at 75mph, and sounds just like a group n rally car at full chat. definiately faster, especially overtaking - as you can hold the gears.. 3rd is fabulous from 70 - 100.. not cheap at £1250.. but the car only cost me just over 4k..highly recommended

sounds good mate!

i've got a Viper on my 172 Cup along with a decat, k-tec stealth system and an r-sport ecu!

pretty much the same group N stuff, rev's to 7800 and has improved the car no ends!
