De-cat? Sports Cat? Where?

how about this ro55o..... http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1564&catid=8&appid=2&pic=1
for a 52 (ph2 172 cup)?

I had a de-cat on my 182 (With the standard exhaust). I didn't mind the noise, was quite nice at times. Ultimately I went back to a standard cat. Don't know what it'll be like on a 172, especially as that one has a silencer, so maybe not too different from a cat. You'll need to remember that it won't pass an MOT with a de-cat pipe, but if you search the forum there'll be a few threads on the subject. Also take the power gains with a pinch of salt, people have different views and results from fitting a de-cat pipe. That one you linked looks good, but I'm sure someone with a de-catted 172 will come along and give you a better answer.

don't bother with sports cats tbh, you'll pay a fortune for no benefit really. It will most likely fail emmisions on them anyway. Decat wise, ktec, miltek, yozza (although i'm not sure if they still do), and scorpion. You'd be better off getting your cat modded, but it depends on what you're after in way of results. Best advice is try not to spend too much because the gains are minimal.
cool, cheers lads.
so I can get my cat modified...? sounds better (money wise) just finding who does it I guess. I quite like the look of that one ^^^^... are they easy enough to fit or a ballache ?
this one seems better - no silencer ro55o: http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2034&appid=2
let me know what you's think!
thanks again!

I've never fitted a 172 one, but I believe they're a bit of a pain, so if you need MOT doing on it, then you'll be changing it back to the cat unless you know a dodgy tester 
. Modding the CAT exit would be better, but if you're running standard setup it's not going to make much difference. If I were you, i'd save up a bit more, get rid of the standard zorst, and get everything sorted at the same time. I'm suprised, you still have standard one on, thought it would have dropped off by now.lol

only owned the car around 6 months and the middle pipe went on me once already....... well I'll prob buy the de-cat this month, then the middle pipe/backbox. can you get them separately or is it cheaper to save up like you say?
which brand/exhaust do you recommend my mate lol
cheers

The Yozza systems on here tend to be the ones people opt for however there rare second hand and go at a hefty price second hand too.
You after a stealth exhuast or a showy one? As you can often pick up a few second hand exhuasts for sale on here around 100-150ish, I think i saw a 2.25" S/S one on ebay auction from k-tec a day or so ago too
there's the stainless stealth (KTR) option http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1088&appid=2
or there's the mild steel stealth (KTR) option http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2774&appid=2
I obviously like the s/s one but they are a bit pricey...as for sound though, will these sound similar or very much different?
thanks for this btw much appreciated.

much appreciated.I think the S/S ones are slightly louder than the mild steel ones but then they wont rust!
Theres this one from k-tec at the mo but its missing a bit or two http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110659909545&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I have 182 manifold+sports kat+k-tec mild steel and it's too loud.
We're developing a new 63.5 mm stainless steel catback with a stealth exit, it'll be quieter than any of the k-tec systems and it should perform well, I'm going to have the car on the dyno both with the k-tec and the new system and see what happens. Then I'll have a custom remap the same day and another dyno...

Might be placebo, but I run a ktec sports cat with standard exhaust (did have the SS stealth but it was too 'boomy' at 60+) and it makes a difference. Both in sound and performance.
Ktec have just released a super quiet 2.25 SS stealth, which is another option if you don't want intrusive noise.
