Ph1 172 Downpipe

[.Stevo.C.]

I gave Btb exhaust a call today to purchase a stealth system for my ph1 172 the only problem is that the guy said ph1's have 2 different lengths of down pipe he said the ones with 2 cats have a longer pipe and the cars with 1 lambda have a shorter pipe, is this true? As I've never heard of it. They guy from
Btb said I would need to go down there and have the system made on my car if my Downpipe is shorter which is a bit s**t since im in Edinburgh. Anybody help with this?

 

[Martin_172]

yep thats true, k-tecs systems have a telescopic pipe that can be adjusted to cater for both cars

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Ah that's pish how much longer are they?

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Anybody know what the length difference is?

 

[Cupman29]

Whats up with the ktec stealth?

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Fancy something different and a bit less boomy.

Find out which cat / downpipe you have. There might not be a problem?

If it is shorter could you not just get a ph2 172 (longer) downpipe :S

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Just had a look and I've got a shorter Downpipe with one lambda in the cat. I'm not sure on the ph2 Downpipe I'll have a look into that.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

If I got another ph1 cat with 2 lambdas would this solve my problem?

 

[Andyman]

Is your cat a twin or single barrel ?

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Twin.

If I got another ph1 cat with 2 lambdas would this solve my problem?

Yes

 

[.Stevo.C.]

For definate John?

 

[Djw John]

Yup, the only difference is length. I used to run the twim lambda cat, yozza fitted fine, now running the 182 manifold, ktec decat link pipe and yozza. The twin lambda is the same length as the ph2 cat.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Shhweeet I thought I was going have to get a bit welded on to the btb. Need to find myself a 2 lambda cat now. Cheers John

 

[Andyman]

If you can't find a twin lambda version you could always lengthen the one you have. Would probably work out a lot cheaper cutting and extending it than buying a 2nd hand cat unless you got lucky

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Yeah that's another option but I'm sure I seen a guy on here selling 2 of them for £50 each.
