my 172 sounds like a nova

[172man]

i think the exhaust is blowing, its suddenly gone very loud, any help?

So what kind of exhaust have you got ....standard mild steel or stainless? If its the former its probably rusted through and fit for the bin, the later it may have cracked and require tig welded ?

 

[172man]

oh its the standard one mk1 172

 

[172man]

if it needs bining what should i get magnex ?

 

[chris172]

gotta be a K-tec

Good question! Im thinking about getting a replacement zorst for my MKII. Think the guys have persuaded me to go for a K-Tec SS. Magnex certainly do a system for your model and also appear to be very good quality.

Sorry 172man for deviating from your topic: Thought you would home in on this thread Chris ..LOL! K-Tec rukes OK! Just waiting on an O/T payment coming through from work. Hope to get my Oval with extra big central silencer very soon. I keep asking this but did you ever get your new system? Can never remember when you were booked in for the change

 

[172man]

life time guarantee with the K-tec? also i want a tuned sport sound not booming + a bit more power would be nice

 

[Ben j]

how loud is loud sounding? - your problem?

 

[172man]

it all of a sudden sounded very load on the way home like its a different car boomy... its the std zorst that comes with the car mk1

 

[Ben j]

could be a split in the manifold. it may get loader and loader beyond belief that it can actually get that load and ull find uve lost near enough all power.. having to cain the sh*t out of it to reach 30. and itll eat petrol big time.
