What makes you say that? Have you got one or seen it?

Just from the pictures! all the welds look real rough!

ive got a KTec silences decat and for something that goes under the car its bloody excellent looking and the welding is perfect...

im sure Janspeed have got a spare welder you could show them with...

Mike, as I said before please try buying one. I think you will find you will never receive it or if you do receive it it will only be a de cat pipe.

Hello guys, I see we have a few detectives among you.

It is no big secret that our sports cat is made for us by Janspeed as they make many parts exclusively for many companies. Our cat is our own design, we have paid the development/testing costs and you will not be able to buy it anywhere else. The price you have been given for a sports cat through a Janspeed dealer is actually for a decat pipe and not a sports cat. Janspeed actaully called us yesterday to see if it would fit a Cup. Until we approached Janspeed they had never made a sports cat for the 172 even though they have it listed in their catalogue. This entry is being withdrawn from next years catalogue. They have only made one decat for a customer and that was soon taken off the car as the customer found it too loud.





One de-cat? How did I just manage to order one then?

Nope the sencond lambda is just unpluged, no lights come up on the dash! I did this on Dougmals Mk2 172 worked fine no probs!!!!

Mk1 decat will fit the mk2 just need the first lambda.

Anyone know what the second one does??????

 

[Turkish]

probably just a monitor, you have a regulating lambda and a monitor one so this is probably just cheking that the 1st one is doing its job. i might be wrong tho

Since the thing is going to be sitting underneath the car, and not seen, what difference does it make to its appearance (to a certain extent) just as long as the weld is stuck together properly!!

Looking at K-tecs website for more info on the Sports Cat for the mk2 172 and Cup the text below mentions it was tested on Janspeeds rolling road. After thinking this was kind of Janspeed I have found out that they also produce a Sports Cat for the Cup albeit slightly cheaper.

So if Janspeed produce this why would they allow K-tec to use their RR? Or is it the same product?





Maybe Janspeed have the nearest rolling road to K-Tec as Salisbury is only about 20 miles from Ferndown and the guys will all know each other too I should think!
