Anyone used a 172 Sportex exhaust ?

[RichValver]

As titled, I fancy a change from my ktec stealth system. Has anyone got any opinions in these systems? Very cheap but I'd like to know what they sound like. I do trackdays so it can't be too loud. Also I can't find the bore of the system if anyone knows it?

Any help appreciated

Ktec stealths are stainless steel 2.5" aren't they? Mine was anyway. I would say that for 200 quid the sportex will be terrible compared the the ktec .

Is your ktec on its last legs or something?

If not and you just fancy a change in looks then just weld a stainless pipe onto the back of the ktec and fit it recessed into the bumper.

I can’t help with a Clio but I had a Sportex on my Saxo back in the day, it went crusty after about a year but the sound was OK.

I looked at so many options mate when replacing my exhaust but ended up getting a ktec stealth resonated with a ktec sports cat and I am happy with the system and sounds just right. Not sure if this set up contributed to the power figures but overall the car made good power when mapped

Aluminised steel construction so its going to rust if you plan on keeping a while.

It's a bit battered yeah but I'm mainly looking to have a straight tip rather than recessed

It's cheap so I'd expect it tbh

I bought a straight tip for my stealth, was only about 15 quid. There's a thread on here somewhere, loads of people have done it

Decided to go down this route Instead now. What tip did you use and did you weld/clamp it on?

Welded.

I got it off eBay, was about 12 quid, I've still got one you can have if you cover postage? Pm me your email address I'll send you a pic
