ktec 172 to 182 exhaust upgrade

[Big Bob]

Has ony one used this conversion and is it worth the £600 and does having the 182 manifold make much difference ?

thanks in advance for the replies.

kullycliosport has the 182 manifold conversion on his cup, and is using a 100cpsi sports cat. when i spoke to him about it he said it made a difference but wasnt sure whether it was worth £600.

so i think if you've got the money then why not, but theres loads of things id do before going for the 182 manifold

 

[Big Bob]

share some wisdom give me you top 3 mods prior to manifold

Iirc its makes a difference at top end of the rev range, but the 172 mani pulls better from low down. Or vice versa. Its not a clear cut winner.

 

[Big Bob]

maybe just get the de-cat then

 

[Middo]

kully said it pulls a lot smoother from lower down in the revs.

but for me if i had 600quid it would go towards suspension/brakes/seats before manifold

 

[Big Bob]

all them i have allready done part from the seats.

 

[for a pound]

go on a 600 pound bender,thats what i would do
