exhaust options....

[mrl]

hi people, does anyone on here have/use a k-tec 172 stealth or supersport stealth 2.5" exhaust system??

i need a new system for the 172 i have just bought but i would rather have one that doesnt hang under the bumper or where the bumper needs cutting!

any good suggestions??
iv seen loads on here about yozza exhausts but never seen/heard one???

thanks in advance :approve:

I have the KTEC supersports and it doesn't hang low at all, infact you have to lay low to even see it however...its loud!

Probs a bit to loud for me and the neighbours so only good if you hardly do any miles imo

 

[Sam@NP]

Yozza creates a lovely sound and the built quality is great. Much better than the majority of others available as well as this it is one of the lightest systems as well. Plenty of pics if you search around

If I'm honest, you should buy a yozza.... BUT, if you want to buy my k-tec stealt, PM me.

Then I'll buy a Yozza

i think the stealth is suposed to b quieter than the supersport so maybe thats the better option??
do u have a cat or a decat pipe?? coz im looking at the supersport with a decat pipe so maybe abit loud??

Yozza.

I had a K-tec stealth, didn't like it anymore so bought a Yozza. Couldn't be any happier!

 

[mrl]

iv done some hunting on youbube and found some yozza exhausts!!they sound amazing!!
but i would rather not have the exhaust visable (hanging under my bumper)

thats what i like about the k-tec one.is there any others anyone can suggest that arnt visable??

 

[maynard]

You can have the Yozza system with a stealth backbox instead of the one poking out.

really where do i get these from??i cant find them

 

[montana]

fred at btm does them i believe , you will need to be a paid up member to see, you will need to get saving as they ain't cheap, everyone raves about them on here mind!

 

[vecbtb]

BTB or Yozza are the two top options.

 

[jonny_rs]

decat with the supersprts imo would be too loud but like I said, depends what sort of driving you do!

 

[Fred@BTM]

BTB or Yozza are the two top options.

i agree!

i have a ktec stealth that i was about to put up in the for sales section,itwas only on my car fro 4 months, if ur interested?

 

[hilldawg172]

Yozza + decat = biblical sound i absolutely love mine wouldnt swap it for anything. Id even go as far to say that if for some reason i couldnt have a yozza id sell the clio lol.

 

[Jimbo_M]

Yozza for show, BTB for stealth

 

[.Kev.]

Ktech for proven gains.

Great round up, and in two posts.

If you're not in a hurry you could wait for the new Supersprint stealth.
Stainless steel 304, completely hidden...

 

[mrl]

look what arrived today

im abit worried how loud it is going to be but we will c......

il have to start a project thread as iv had lots of bits turn up today

 

[Gardus]

It will be LOUD

 

[jonny_rs]

LOUD

 

[Mark-172]

Let me know how u get on with your exhust mate as i am really debating on getting one soon.

 

[domjolly]

thats looks like a lovely built exhaust. i got the ktec steath supersports with a decat its f**king loud so good luck withyours lol

 

[mrl]

so iv been living with the very very very loud exhaust for a while now and its starting to get to me!!in fact i swear its still getting louder :S
its rattled most of the car apart and given me lots of headaches!

its soooo loud i cant really drive the car hard as the noise is killing me, so iv spoke to k-tec who said its because the noise is sent down to the ground and bounces back up into the car.
so i have tried a middle box which didnt really do a lot and putting the cat back on makes a big difference when driving the car so thats staying off :evil:

so im now looking at getting a diffrent back box.i am thinking of getting a 182 back box (as i have a 182 bumper spare) but can someone tell me if a 182 back box will fit to a 172 system??

 

[Fletcher]

What system is that. Yozzasport race/ stealth?

 

[mrl]

no its a k-tec stealth supersport system with decat

 

[Gardus]

A 182 backbox won't fit because of the spare wheel. You could go for a recessed exit or a 182 style endpipe kit. It's true that the stealth exit has more resonance than a straight exit, especially with the k-tec that's not very well hidden and closer to the ground than other systems.
Why did you go for that k-tec if you were looking for a "quiet" system? You would be better off with a BTB Ninja or a Supersprint with the centre silencer (but this one will be loud too with the decat pipe, at least with the current centre section).
I'm fitting on my car a differen rear box with reduced piping (54 mm) to see if it's enough, so my configuration will be 182 manifold, sports cat (not much of a different than a decat in noise terms), 2"5 silenced Supersprint centre section, 2"12 rear stealth Supersprint exhaust. The last one is this one:
http://www.supersprint.com/it/prod-c-98-6051-7991-posteriore.aspx
modified in the last part with a pipe directed to the ground
The centre section will be modified to fit the new backbox, reducing the diameter of the pipe without any cut or weldings.
I shouldn't feel any powerloss, it could even run better as the gas gets colder running downstream a reduced diameter in the backbox could increase the gas speed.

 

[mrl]

im not after a "quiet" system but something that doesnt make my ears bleed would be good!!
im also about to order a set of coilovers for the car so the exhaust will b closer to the ground so im guessing its gona get worse!!so iv got to get a back exit exhaust before i lower it!

cheers for the advice on the spare tho forgot about that

 

[Gardus]

Not at all, you just need a "real" stealth exhaust.
This is mine:

As you can see, there's no clearance problem. My car is on Eibach Sportline, but even if it was 30 mm lower it would be ok.
