KTEC / 172 Cup



Is the KTEC the closest thing you can get to standard without paying outrageous amounts for a Renault one? Also seen an ebay shop that is selling 172 CAT's for £144, I assume you need rear, centre, and CAT to make up a complete exhaust? The KTEC is fine, but trying to get it standard and not really after something booming.
Cheers

A KTEC what?

edit: ok i can see the word exhaust hidden in your op :cool:

edit again: i've got a ktec recessed, was on the car when i bought it. no idea what its like compared with standard but its not loud at all. its the two silencer version.

edit again again: you're not far, i'm in farnborough, you're welcome to come have a listen

Well at the moment it has a KTEC Stealth exhust which is what it came with fitted by the previous owner. So would I be correct in saying it will still have th renault CAT fitted and I only need to get the rear box as posted above? Apologies not really clued up on this. YES, my exhaust is very boomy on Motorway's, becoming a real pain!
Appreciate the advice. Rubber exhaust hanger has gone and really just think its a good time to sort it out.

If it came with a Stealth you will need the Renault centre section and back box, as the stealth has a different bore size for the pipe work. See I wasn't wrong about the boom was I? A standard system will totally transform the car
 
Ah OK so I still have my CAT in place. IN that case I think Im going to look at getting the above Renault sections. A lot of people have said they rust really quickly, do you coat of Hammerite before fitting it sort this?

I've never had a problem, it'll last you 3 years no bother imo. Worth it for the peace imo :D
 
Oh yeah absoloutely, every time you go to overtake on a motorway you just get an ear full of drone! Sounds like a plan, wait till pay day and then see what I can do!
Thanks again

I hate my k-tec stealth. It sounds great when you're giving it the beans, but it's ridiculously boomy inside the car at motorway speeds.... and don't think i'm driving like a dick, You can sit at 70 in 5th, the slightest touch of the pedal and it's horrifically loud.

I love a bit of exhaust noise, but it's not good noise, just noise.

Ask Fred, he can make you a yozza stealth that is quieter than standard. Better quality, cheaper. WIN.
 
Totally agree, exact same problems, slightest bit of throttle above 3k rpm and you barely hear yourself speak! Fred? Sounds good, already got it declared on the insurance, so getting another aftermarket one isn't going to hurt.

Fred@BTM - he's a trader on here, makes the yozza systems.
