Exhaust choices.

[Luigi172]

hi, over the last month the ktec stealth on my car has been getting louder and louder to the point were a dare drive it fast anywhere let alone on track what exhaust do people recommend to run? Im running a decat which will be staying so need something that is fairly quiet

 

[Ben.m]

Milltek all day long.

Milltek all day long.

Were the best place too look mate- and is it stealth?

 

[Don]

Luigi...are you looking for off the shelf or custom made? Also where are you based?

 

[Luigi172]

Looking for something that will be fairly quiet with a decat. I'm in Buckinghamshire Aylesbury.

You will struggle to get 'fairly quiet' with a decat as a decat is essentially just a piece of pipe without silencing. I would suggest custom made so that you can tailor the sound to what YOU want...but I don't know of any custom builders in your area. I would suggest ProSpeed in Cardiff...but it is a fair trek...(I've done the trek twice with 2 different cars from Telford to there).

 

[sbridgey]

Prospeed or BTB would be my choice if i were you.

Dont get a miltek they look horrible.

 

[tom172cup]

K tec reccesed is my vote

 

[Luigi172]

thats cool i know i wont get anything that quiet with a decat but want something better than this ktec i got at the moment Btb is fairly close to me- has anyone had any issues with them?

How old is the stealth?

 

[The Russian.]

These guys are good and do it all in shop from scratch. http://www.stainless-exhaust.com/

All the best

 

[Bren Rogers]

Just don't buy a Powerflow

 

[Luigi172]

How old is the stealth?

i dont know it was on the car when i brought it

Oh nevermind, it's not under warranty then. All it needs is repacking.

 

[Jamie86]

Or replacing with a BTB!

Anyone tried this with a decat?

 

[Fastfishracing]

Why not go with a sports cat to quieten whatever cat back system you decide on?

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Anyone tried this with a decat?

Chris205 has and it sounded awesome. I had one fitted to my ph1 172 with a cat and it wax great sounding.

 

[Dean0o0o.]

I went through the same questions a month or so ago.

Ive ended up with a K-tec stealth, twin silencer jobby along with a 182 manifold and decat. The noise levels are perfect, its quite quiet when at low revs, so you can sneak away in the morning without waking people. But when you boot it it makes a great sound!

 

[Luigi172]

yes think it's down to a new ktec stealth or a Btb. Ktec stealth is cheaper and can use the discount but am disappointed with this one I've got at the moment...

 

[sbridgey]

I would definitely get a BTB. The build quality looks superb.

 

[The Russian.]

Sorry to hijack thread, but what does the overrun remap actually do??

thanks

 

[sbridgey]

Overrun maps sticks fuel through the engine when your off the throttle, the fuel ignites on the hot exhaust causing a popping noise.

 

[The Russian.]

Any performance gains or just the pops.

Thanks for replying fella

 

[Don]

Thanks for replying fella

No performance gains, just noise and worse fuel economy from what I'm aware.

 

[Jonny1*2]

Worse fuel economy? Never heard that before

 

[Jaff.]

Worse fuel economy? Never heard that before

If your putting fuel into the engine when it's not needed purely to make a pop out the back then your fuel ecomony will suffer

 

[Jonny1*2]

Ah reading fail, though he meant just by changing the zorst

 

[Luigi172]

back to my original thread btb or k-tec stealth? or any other opinions?

 

[The Russian.]

I have mongoose cat back with decat, I love the rasp

 

[ksr-cupra]

Ordered my btb system today thou none in stock so have a 2 week wait, not fussed as it looks great and not heard a bad thing about them

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Good choice. I loved the btb on my 172 and I'm thinking about putting one on my trophy.

 

[Don]

Ah reading fail, though he meant just by changing the zorst

No...sorry dude....just meant the question about pops and bangs.

 

[DaveDreads]

Just to add my two penneth,
i've had a Piper stealth on mine for years and it's a bloody good exhaust tbh,
the stainless steel's still shiny and they're very well made.

Mines a bit droney at 70 80mph, but from hearing other members exhausts at meets,
i've come to the conclusion it's quite quiet. lol

 

[Luigi172]

Any idea what warranty is on the btb? Also is the btb quieter than the ktec?

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Btb is quieter than the ktec, not sure on the warrenty though.

 

[Jamie86]

The build quality really does have to be seen on BTB to be believed!

Although I think i'd quite like the ninja version next as I'm getting old!

 

[Ben.m]

IMO I am still gonna say Milltek...mine sounds good not to loud but sound good when you put your foot down..fits well and is of good quality build...got mine from K-tec.

 

[Jimbo_M]

BTB the end. Awesome build quality and a lovely sounding system.

 

[bengtt5]

my new ktec stealth is near as quiet as the standsard system and its the 2.5" jobby
