K-Tec Stealth WOW!

[the filthmeister]

This is simply to sing praises to the K-Tec Stealth cat back system i had fitted to my 172 ph1 yesterday!

Like a boob job for a already gorgeous girl - i have fallen back in love with my Clio!
The difference it has made is more than expected! - and...so far - 100% happy

Well done K-Tec

Excellant.

What differences do you feel? Mine came today and hopefully it will be fitted tomorrow. I'm going to K-Tec from Magnex.

 

[nathanH]

glad your happy with it. once the price comes down a bit i'll be buying another (had a mk1 stealth)

 

[the filthmeister]

noticed a tad more power - but mainly more pickup along the rev range - rather than a surge of power near the far end

also - having to shift earlier but more frequently eg. changing into 3rd gear at 60ish rather then 65 previously - but gets there faster!! :evil:

o - and the noise.... :approve: timid (and only just louder than standard) at cruising pace but - when booted - soujds like a completely different beast!!!

the smile on my face hasn't worn off yet so to speak, haha

love the fact there isn't a can protruding from the rear for all this

recommended.

 

[iPap]

I have one and I hate it!

 

[Gaz_]

sounds kev to me all rasspp

 

[mattih5]

I'll let you know my thoughts tomorrow when I get it fitted. Hope I like it.

I'm joining you on this. Just witnessed it being fitted and took it for a spin, absolutely top. About the same noise produced as my magnex when you floor it. Car feels a bit more responsive as well.

Exhaust fitted for a week now...

It's a poor one handed mobile phone video but gives an idea.

They do sound ace, there does seem to be a lot of mixed oppinions about them which concerned me when I bought one without listening to it. But i'm really happy with mine. Had it on a week so far.

Good exhauust

I've had my Stealth on the car for over a year now and it still looks new and sounds even better than when I first got it.

I changed froma Magnex too as that fitted shite, looked shite and weighed loads.

[the filthmeister]

[Big Iain]

I really must have no luck with these things number 3 now!!

 

[Alan]

Lol ^

 

[MarkCup]

No rattle on mine. Sounds gorgeous.

Just as a matter of interest....I had mine fitted last week at a local garage and I watched every moment of them fitting it, in fact I was under the car with them.

When they came to fitting the strap that fits around the back box which then in turn slots into the centre holde of the mount, they asked me whether there was a screw or bolt for the strap pin that holds into the rubber mount. It seemed as though the pin had been threaded which would suggest something is meant to hold it in place.

Did anyone get something like this to hold the strap into the mount?

The guys at the garage managed to find something the same size and put that in.

 

[the filthmeister]

yeh!

one of the boys asked if there was a nut or something to screw on to that part - i told them what i was giving them was all i had - and until now - completely forgot about it because the other guy that fitted it didn't say anything when i picked her back up haha

i'll check it out and see what they did about it - but it's on still ok

Does your hang right?

I've noticed on mine that the back box is quite low down (defeats the purpose of a stealth) and has about 4 inches room at the top of it. Also, it bangs sometimes when going over speed bumps or with more than 2 people in. How can I use the 4 inches or so above the box, is there a way to push it up>?

I have a Mk1 version and it's okay

Just taken some photo's and wondered if anyone could look at these and let me know how I go about adjusting the damn thing. At the same time as having the exhaust (K-Tec Stealth MK2) fitted I had a new Reno hanger fitted. As you can see from the photo i've put some support in as the it is gash (just this minute fitted) - this seems to have pushed the exhaust up slightly but I cannot see any other way to move it up.

The hanger is as far forward as it will go.

I think the reason it was banging was because the hanger gave too much, i'm hoping these 'bungs' will stop that.

If anyone can suggest a better way of sorting this I would much appreciate it.

 

[Greeny.]

I dont think my Magnex looks that bad tbh..

I had my stealth fitted on friday by K-tec and had the tailpipe cut into the bumper. Really impressed with the responsiveness and sound.

Qu qu for these with these, does anyone get a noise like you get if you blow into the top of a coke can ( obviously more solid type noise - but to give you an idea!) whilst not accelerating hard, through town etc?

Looks fantastic and not aftermarket at all. Well chuffed, thanks David.

wwwwwwwoooooooooooooo :dead:

 

[Greeny.]

[172blue]

Ah I am with you!! Can you get rid of it? What did you do? Thought I was going mad...

 

[Gaz_]

Sold it lol. It lasted a week. Shame cos the build and fit were supurb

 

[Se7en172]

I have a big b*****d problem. My Exhaust is looking a tad rusty and I want to change it to a stainless steel exhaust! My insurance company will not allow me to but a SS exhaust on the car! I argue that I wish to add it because the Renault standard exhaust issues, and a SS exhaust has a lifetime warranty. Meaning I will never have to pay out for an exhaust system again? Other than changing my insurance company! Is there any way around this?

 

[Gaz_]

just put a stealth on it.

if you un-do the strap which is around the can u should be able to push it up and then tighten it back up around the can when its sitting further up. no?

Yes, I had a think about this before and it did come to my mind. I will give it a try after work tomorrow.
