I require 182 exhaustings advice

[seanybaby1788]

On my last service i was told that my exhaust is nearing the end of its life so i need a replacement.

Now the two i think i've narrowed it down to are JP/Yozza and the RS192. I've looked at video's for both and i think i prefer the sound of the Yozza, although im worried about just how loud it is as its hard to tell from a video. I don't want to look like a bellend driving around with a chavvy sounding exhaust.

So which is best? Any differences in performance or weight?

What are peoples thoughts on the KTR/Janspeed exhaust in comparison?

Also i can't seem to find the JP Racing exhaust on the K-Tec website?

P.s. i have searched but i get an error if i tey to go onto the 2nd page of a search on this forum.

Yozza/JP is loud tbh anyone that says there not has obviously gone deaf from having one fitted to there car. Probably the best fitting exhaust for 1*2's though.

I wouldn't put a yozza/jp on a standard'ish daily driver. The BTB 182 exhaust looks nice.

Ive got a piper, fits nice and although its clearly not a stock sound, with a cat its only really loud when your giving it some...

Milltek.The grown ups choice.

Where can you get this from? Any pictures?

Just looked done some googling on the BTB, £800 is way out of my budget lol. The girlfriend would kill me whilst i sleep

The Milltek is a system that you can live with even without a cat. On that day mine blew 88db @ 5300rpm. Yozza was ridiculously loud even with a silenced decat, and IMO only ever sounded good once under load and at full chat. Milltek is a happy medium.

Yozza+decat end of

 

[seanybaby1788]

yozza was my preferred option to be honest but i dont think k-tec are stocking it anymore from what i can see.

also before i make a purchase is it advisable to buy some new mounts?

you had any issues with yours as ive heard the build quality isnt this great. how do these shape up in comparison to the rs192?

 

[Rhys Beal]

I heard issues of old too so I bought mine new last year so I have the lifetime warranty and have had no problems at all so would assume that they have sorted them.

No idea about comparing the Milltek to the Scorpion as I haven't heard one.

JP = LOUD!!!
RS192 = Fits like a sack of arse. rather have powerflow :dead:
Miltek = CRACK!!!!!!!!!! (i've welded up countless boxes and hangers)
Piper = Amazeballs
Janspeed/K-tec = Great budget option, center silenced version (sport) is the closest you'll get to standard noise levels

i had ktec/yozza on, sounded pretty good tbh. have now got rs192 fitted, fitting wasnt bad, even on the driveway, it isnt lined up 100% but by time id got it on somewhere near id had enough of laying on the cold flags tbh lol. 10 mins on a ramp and itl be sweet tho. sounds like a wet fart though. cant hear it til im past 3k revs. even the kids hate it, they say its too quiet.

This. Though WITHOUT the centre silenced section. Mine's a daily drive, and I'm an old bugger and it's fine.

 

[The Fatty]

i would suggest mine as it has a really nice raspy sound from about 3k, but i dont know what make it is and no one could identify it :s

 

[seanybaby1788]

In the end i've decided to go for the KTR Ultra Performance 182 Exhaust System without the centre silencer

Good choice??

 

[Dan519]

not bad. not one of my favourites personally but its ok

The Yozza is not loud, louder than standard but far from being properly loud. I've had countless exhausts over the years on various cars and the yozzas I've heard weren't anywhere near the loudest by a long shot.

 

[seanybaby1788]

When you say not one of your favourites do you mean in the Ktec range or are you talking about all the different brands of exhaust.

I chose this one mainly due to the price but also i think it looks good and in the videos ive seen it sounds pretty good aswell.

I was going to go for the Yozza but it just seems too loud for me

Hoorah!!
Top choice mate.

 

[sam55]

My JP/Yozza with a cat isn't loud when hot. When cold yes it's pretty loud! But when it's hot it's silent on tick over from in the car, and only really loud when giving it the beans.

EDIT: should have read the full page I see you've bought a Ultra performance. I nearly got one of them. They look very nice!

 

[Stunty]

Make sure that when yours has been on over 3 years, it's still this clean, like mine *slight OCD* ....

Both really. I Prefer the Janspeed branded systems to the Ultra range. there's nothing wrong with what you've chosen though

I don't know how people can say the rs192 isen't loud, I put one on my old 182 and sitting in the back you can't here yourself think. And no it Wasent blowing as I did check. But it did have all the sound deadening tar taken out from when it was stripped out but its got all the interior back in wen the rs192 was fitted so I dident think that would make much difference...
