Found this and was wondering if anyone has it? I know K-Tec get some abuse here, but ive never had a problem with their stuff.

Just ordered a unsilenced one! Hope its ok.

Yeah. Had a k-tec exhaust on my old 172, and a few other bits and bobs and never had a problem with them. Fingers crossed this is alright, but it WILL be a thousand times better than my rattling standard exhaust!

Going of looks alone that's looking similar to the new BTM exhaust isn't it?

Its not up on their website yet, but it is available to the public. Just ring em up and ask about their centreline exhaust. Its priced pretty reasonable also, think it was £359 for a unsilenced one. Tips available are slash cut and inward rolled iirc and it uses the same back box as the ultrasports.
Just realised i dont even know what tips i ordered! Was in a mad rush as i wanted it for the weekend.

Raider, 172, the van
Lol.. Looks like jp have given Fred's time and effort again. Happened with the old yozza style.

That's not a JP exhaust, look at the welds and sleeve joints for the tail pipes!
it's only a modified version of the same thing they've sold for years, just moving the box into the center. They've been doing these for 18 months+
Its just an exhaust, don't panic!! LOL Nothing to do with JP! This isn't the invention of turning air into gold

Ktec don't make them anyway, just sell them, so whats the problem.

So Andy @ DTM fitted this today. No pics yet, i'll try tomorrow. Andy did say it was a bit of a ballache getting it lined up, its not perfect, one tip sticks out a bit more than the other but i can live with that, btw thats totally the exhaust/bumpers fault and NOT Andys. The sound, well, sounds great outside the car, best way i can describe it is, its a lot more aggressive sounding over the standard, with a nice rumble. Inside, its a bit bassier, definetely more noticeable than the standard one, but not intrusive. Didnt really give it any beans on the way back, thought i'd take it easy, do exhausts need bedding in?
Overall i'm pretty happy with it, just glad to get the knackered centre box off and not have a rattling exhaust!
Oh and Andy fitted a new Fabia splitter also

Yeah, Andy said it will get a bit louder, but i meant do they need bedding in i.e, taking it easy for a bit or can you just give it the beans right away?

No they don't need bedding in like a fresh engine. But they do bed in over time changing the tone of it.
Same with my 172 Recessed Supersport.
Also don't be alarmed by the burning smell and smoke coming out the back, it happens for a good few mile
