172 Cup OEM+

[Darryl_1983]

One thing I've noticed recently is how boomy or droney the exhaust is. It's a stealth KTEC resonated exhaust, sounds fine when going for a rip around some b roads but on a motorway journey or sustained 60/70mph my god, it's awful.

Recommendations for something not as droney?

I'm pretty sure mine is the same system, and it isn't droney at all. It is however, pretty loud, and definitely more raspy than typical. But it also has a sports cat rather than the standard cat. In the past on my 182's, I've found that changing from the standard cat to a sports cat makes a big difference to noise, and does add a bit of raspiness.

Honestly, I'm quite surprised how loud my cup is, it has a pretty large resonator and reasonable back box, but it's probably louder than my 3.0 Z4 with the back box deleted and tiny standard resonator. I guess it could be related to the lack of sound deadening in the Clio compared to the Z4 though.

I like the KTEC around town or on a blast out. But my god, motorway speeds it's just DRONE.

I guess everyone's tolerance to noise and what they find acceptable is different.

I've got this on mine with 2 x resonators

Not loud, not raspy and not boomy
