KTR Centreline

[clio-0wner]

anyone any ideas if and when Ktec will make this or even put it on thier website? it says its for sale on the fb page ect but its not on the website. ive messaged them but never had a reply off them, only reason i ask is i think this is a good style/looking exhaust for the 182

 

[jesus]

Looks familiar...

​buy this one instead.

 

[Joe#]

Lol!

 

[Dan@SJM]

It's a poor copy of BTM's exhaust. Get the BTM and never look back.

 

[mr.pink87]

LOL @ KTR's product policy/piratery...

 

[clio-0wner]

i cant see the BTM one due to not being a member. anyone any pics or vids of how loud it is?

So don't be a pikey and become one...

 

[clio-0wner]

if this is it im not keen on the look of the tail pipes, the ktec ones look better.

 

[Stefan.]

^That is the BTM one. i agree with the tail pipes. i think fred can change them to ones you want though..

 

[clio-0wner]

sweet. hmm seems a tad pricey though at just under £500

 

[Fred@BTM]

quality costs I'll let the owners of my new exhasts do the talking

(note i can do any tailpipes you like, but you can't please everyone so we've stuck to the same design for 9years now, it seems popular!)

I could do a £300 exhaust that cracks and falls off, i'd probably make more money but i don't like selling tat

They do!

 

[yeecup]

Lol.

 

[Fred@BTM]

LOL but that one is over £1K (and doesn't fit very well)

 

[Stefan.]

quality costs, and all that fred

 

[Fred@BTM]

In the case of the orbi it doesn't

 

[aucky]

Baller's choice And mine fits spot on.

I can't quite believe the audacity of KTR if this is to be put into production.

 

[clio-0wner]

ah well fair enough I shall start saving lol. yea I don't think they've made it yet as it ain't on the site yet on the fb page they give a price of £380 I think

 

[davo172]

They do!

Flol

 

[Christopher.]

LOL how do they get away with that !

Looks cheap.

 

[MartinR]

Who is copying who though?:S

Orbisoud
BTM
K-tec

 

[Fred@BTM]

I admit to "borrowing" some of the orbisoud ideas, just improved areas where the orbi is weak

 

[MartinR]

Do orbisouds crack like milteks then?

Looks like k-tec are up to their old tricks again!

 

[p@blo]

Wonder if there will be a hefty 'R&D tax' slapped on to justify the countless hours of dyno time that will no doubt have gone into producing this?

Who's making them? Will it be Janetspeed?

:lolup:

 

[Fred@BTM]

Do orbisouds crack like milteks then?

na they use V-band clamps which are ok, but they strech and cost a bit to replace, plus the orbi is heavier

 

[MartinR]

Whats the weight differences alot?

 

[Dan519]

No copying AFAIK. They put the pictures up on the same day and had one on a car for 3 months beforehand

 

[Fred@BTM]

not massive, the main weight difference will be to the wallet (ours is cheaper than the orbi)

 

[aucky]

Can you even buy new Orbs anymore?

 

[Carbonraider]

Reminds me of when jp started selling yozza items to ktec. Sure your new suppliers aren't doing the same Fred.. Loving there attempt of upgrading the exhaust mounts hmmm now if anyone is copying I'd say ktec want to see your ring piece Fred.

[Fred@BTM]

Our new supplier is JP LOL (long story)

Are they still fabbing stuff for KTax or have they opted for a different supplier now Fred?

 

[Fred@BTM]

Our (JP's) exhausts had more warranty claims than sales when they had them apparently

" For your information when we were selling the YS exhausts we had to deal with more warranty claims than systems we sold, many people of which had been trying to get claims sorted through yourself but with no luck, hence we stopped dealing with them." David K-tec

I've had 5 claims in 8/9years

Cracks? Don't know what you mean

Get the R26 exhaust sorted!!

Fancy that. Poor Ktax.

Lol!

 

[jonbrown]

Looks pretty similar to my BTM exhaust. Have to say it's great, it's quieter than a standard system when cruising, gives a lovely burble on idle and is nice and fruity when you put your foot down. Quality seems top notch and if you have it fitted by Fred it will sit perfectly too.

Ktec must be loving you Fred.. Think you need to start putting copy rights in lol. I mite ring jp and ask them that I believe ktec are developing a new exhaust.. Cough cough.. Is there any chance I can by from them.

They can't seem to leave other company's products alone. For example the pms wishbone kit. But then again it's business. Ways of saving develop money.
