K-Tec Exhausts

[Bodge!]

Im thinking of getting this exhaust

fitted to my 03 1600 Clio.

Has anyone done it before? what does it sound like? etc etc

i dont like the way it "hangs" under the bumper, so might get it cut into the bumper ever so slightly.

Thanking You Muchly!

i used to have one on my faster clio... i had it sat right up to the bumper and never had a problem at all.

Not the same exhaust, but a K-tec stealth sports exhaust on my 1.6, and a quick vid (of decidedly low quality lol)

cheers for the vid, gives me a bit of an idea

been quoted £305 for belt and tensioners, didnt think that was too bad, will shop about

HOPEFULLY - i can get both zorst and belt changed..... if not the zorst will wait!

I got my 36k service done in January, along with both belts changed, total cost £515 or thereabouts, dont remember exactly.

Exhaust only cost me £20 to have fitted.

its been "mini serviced" as i bought it from a stealer...

im going to pop down to k-tec and get the whole lot fitted, £50 isnt much and i can wander about while they do it!

Not a fan of the twin pipe exhaust, always prefered their stealth system

I know. I emailed them about it and they said you can adjust it by loosening the rear clamp, pushing the box up and tightening back up, have done that and its as high as I can get it, though there is still a gap between the exhaust and heat shield, garage also said tey cant adjust it anymore either.

I admit to feeling a bit cheated, as the whole reason I went stealth was that it shouldnt be able to be seen.

K-Tec said, bring it down and we will adjust it for you, not really an option as i live near inverness is it though.
