Ph1 172 (titanium)
Think dan@519 had one on his old itb'd 172.
He rated it. Not much noisier than standard. Said it lasted really well whilst it was on the car

Is it really less noisier ?? I drove my clio with k tec stealth with the booming at low rev's it sucks .
I have the ktec recessed system. No booming.
I think the stealth system is louder inside the car than outside because all the noise is within the bumper.
i have wondered that actually because of the noise is being pushed under the car rather then out i just want a nice sporty sound when having a spirited drive that doesnt make my ears bleed driving day to day
which will make naff all difference on a near standard car, and I ran a proven 209bhp/175lb/ft on one
How was the sound from yours?
We had one with 197 cams and RS2 inlet, so circa 200bhp, worked well, sounded nice.
Did eventually fall apart but was a few years old at the time.
As is always the way with such things it of course chose to fail miles away when we were in the middle of a Ring/Spa trip, lol.
Luckily a quick favour from Rent4Ring with their welder sorted it:
So back on
and on with the holiday
Main reason for failure was just too much strain on the joints where its a bit poorly designed and not very well gusseted, if I had one again I would just weld a couple of extra brace bits on while its still new and im sure you would get 5+ years out of instead of the 3 or so ours did.
Really quiet exhaust, passed noise tests everywhere, was quiet on the motorway, and yet still sounded a bit sporty when you put your foot down.
I think its a reasonably good product, just needs a bit of extra bracing and you are sorted for ages.
