K-Tec vs Scorpion RS192 for 182

[Mr Anderson]

What like are K-tec exhausts? Considering one myself, mostly due to positive feedback regarding fitment. My 192 won't sit right in the bumper (o/s won't sit centre) and it vibrates too much.

I will go for the silenced type.

Am I right in assuming the tailpipes sit dead centre in the bumper?

Pictures please.

Or any other alternatives that aren't loud and fit perfect?

Also how much would my 9000 mile RS192 be worth?

 

[not normal dan]

I've got one of there's sits pretty well tbh, check out me progress thread. Have you looked at the btm system?

 

[scott.p]

Speak to Fred@btm get one of his exhausts.

 

[Mr Anderson]

That does look tasty! £500 plus delivery though, was thinking £400 tops tbh

 

[hipwell]

My ktec janspeed fits perfect, sounds a bit s**t unless your giving it some though

 

[Mr Anderson]

Does it vibrate noise into the boot?

 

[unofficialPete]

I'll post back in a few days, have the ktec janspeed going on this week..

 

[Mr Anderson]

What hangers are you buying?


What's the general consensus between the 2 KTR types http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1264 and http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2419

The Ultra one looks like you can adjust the width between the tailpipes?

 

[Wick]

I'd personally go Janspeed, and pending condition 200-250 for the 192.

 

[Mr Anderson]

It's in great nick. I was hoping around the 250 mark, cheers

Oh im special, hangers, what ones do I need or have you looked at?

 

[Mr Anderson]

Standard Renault one for the middle and the Powerflex DIY ones for the tail pipe ones.

 

[Tommo.]

The K-tec exhaust is seriously poor quality IMO.

@Fred@BTM has welded mine in several places- it was literally falling to bits (cracks everywhere)!!

It doesn't fit very well or look that good either.

Cheers, I'm a bit tight on time so may have to go with Renault parts but basically these then..

[Mr Anderson]

No, buy the centre hanger, and keep your existing tailpipe hangers and mod them with the Powerflex bushes, they are £6 each on eBay IIRC

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370706314441

The standard tailpipe hanger rubber is soft as s**te and will droop in no time

Use your current tailpipe ones until the Powerflex bushes arrive

I have the supersport one of this version, fairly light weight, welds are good and fits nice in the bumper. The tail pipes follow the contour of the bumper lovely and you can't really see the box.

 

[MDP91]

I'm running the Janspeed Ultra Supersport with a decat and it's been on over a year now and still looks mint, sounds lovely to

Dude you've saved me much embarrassment!! As you say, I'll get it fitted with the current back ones and upgrade them when they arrive...

I'll report back at the weekend with how the Janspeed fits etc.

 

[Tomh182]

i've had an rs192 and a ktec janspeed, and much prefer the rs192 system! Ktec vibrates a lot and has been repaired in several places

 

[Mr Anderson]

Mixed views then.

 

[not normal dan]

I took the sports version off mine and replaced it with the super sports, that had been on 4 years and was mint tbh. Only reason I removed it was because some had chopped around with the middle to alter the cat and I wanted to fit a decat and straight through centre

 

[Dan519]

I sell loads of Janspeed/KTR systems and never have issues, lots of happy customers. I see a fair number of cars with scorpion systems and they're always badly fitting, cracking, or just generally crap

 

[Saamm93]

I'd recommend my RS192 to anyone. I love it.

 

[Mr Anderson]

Is there a system that fits the 182 bumper better than anything else?

 

[DanGill]

Iv got the ktec janspeed silenced system, seems really good but fancied something a little louder. Fits really well but does rattle a fair bit!

 

[Mr Anderson]

Not fussed about noise, just want it to fit right and no vibrations on idle

 

[RSprojects]

got k-tec janspeed one in silenced with de-cat great noise and not too loud on motorway and had for over a year sounds great not sure what the other chaps on about?

 

[RSprojects]

you probably just need to replace the mounts or tighten them? fitting a de-cat adds alot more noise man i have the same system with de-cat

 

[RSprojects]

you have an odd one then should of sent it straight back as they have a life time guarantee... once you start welding it is bound to go again.

 

[sbridgey]

The BTM system fits the best, I believe piper systems are quite good too.

 

[RSprojects]

also heard great things about the milltek one

 

[unofficialPete]

My 2 mile review of the ktr sport... compared with my blowing standard exhaust it's quiet, too quiet. Why'd I pay more for a silencer :clown:

Looks better though and is sitting ok considering it's on the original mounts.

 

[Advikaz]

Sisters other half had a Ktec recess job on his cup. Was too basey for me tbh.

 

[jackdaviesUK]

the piper system hardly gets talked about on here or even recognised, shame because I find it a great exhaust! easy to fit, looks and sounds brilliant, lightweight and you get a choice of tailpipes. oh and it's only £400 on demon-tweeks ATM (£480+ RRP)

 

[Dan519]

also heard great things about the milltek one

got to be kidding? never seen one without cracks in it

 

[Dan519]

probably bought the one without the center silencer to save £30. massive mistake that far too many people make, and then base negative opinions on that.

good point always heard millteks to crack.

 

[Advikaz]

I asked last night mate, it did have the silencer in it. Was very drowny

 

[Martin.]

My Milltek is fine

Also as it comes with an unlimited lifetime warranty I wouldn't even be too fussed if it did.
