Stealth Exhaust Choices

[497adam]

fair point, although really the options are
standard system
s/h stainless stealth system - ktec one available at the mo ( just a bit worried after my last experience of a second hand one)
new stainless stealth system - ktec super quiet stealth
ktec stealth system
Btm/yozza stealth depending on price/availabilty
Supersprint one linked above - not sure what these are like

 

[DaveDreads]

I'd take the standard system off the list mate, you'll just be replacing a sh*t system with another sh*t system.

 

[497adam]

My thoughts

 

[497adam]

My ideal exhaust would be, stainless, better flowing but not overly noisy and not boomy on the motorway

 

[DaveDreads]

In short, the holy grail. lol

 

[497adam]

Yep, not out there I don't think in stealth form at least

 

[DaveDreads]

The only way you could have what you want is buy the best system you can afford, then cut the tail pipe off and weld a stealth tip on.

 

[497adam]

Spoke to Fred@btm but unfortunately lead time of 3-4 weeks on exhausts

 

[497adam]

Nobody seems to have any exhausts in stock even a genuine back box

 

[NorthloopCup]

Not worth considering a trip to prospeed then for a custom job? I've had one of their systems before and it was very good. Quiet too.

 

[497adam]

Times the problem at the mo,

Kamracing no supersprints in stock
btb no stealth systems(not planning to make anymore of the normal stealth) in stock other than the ninja at £760

rang Renpart didn't get back to me but thought they didn't have any of there cheap aftermarket sytems in stock

 

[497adam]

oh even rang Pipe Werx about custom system, booked up til mid june

 

[ADS_V6]

i would if you can get a day off go to pro speed in cardiff m8if every bugger is out of stock,suprised ktec is out of stock i have their stainless stealth with silencer and its nice without incabin noise good luck

 

[497adam]

Getting down to Cardiff will be almost impossible, between work and other commitments. Also the car is at Birchdown for two days for belts, big service and various bits including shocks, arb bushes and a yahoo kit. Then its in for a bit of bodywork.

 

[ADS_V6]

anything on ebay usually a used ktec on there keep a eye out mate

 

[497adam]

nothing, even emailed pure motorsport about there systems- waiting for response

 

[497adam]

I'm exhausted with it.........

 

[497adam]

one thing I can say is I doubt BTB will sell there last Ninja system

 

[NorthloopCup]

nothing, even emailed pure motorsport about there systems- waiting for response

That's a good shout actually tbh. You could chop the tailpipe and get an angled one fitted if you wanted, then it would be stealth near as damn it. @MicKPM will be able to give you a good review of this system as I believe he has/had one fitted.

 

[NorthloopCup]

Not a cat in hells chance tbqfh!

 

[497adam]

I thought they might do a deal to get it off the shelf. I doubt many 172's are worth double the cost of the exhaust. To be honest I found them a bit arsey. How many people could justify best part of 800 quid on an exhaust for a Clio, especially bearing in mind this is not some special titanium performance system. Its just a well made stainless replacement for the standard system

 

[497adam]

Pipe Werx only quoted £450 for a custom system to my spec within reason

 

[JD_RS172]

You can buy any system most and get a new tip welded on. That's what I did and it's fine. As long as the gases escape and aren't being trapped behind the bumper and filtering back up into the car you'll be fine.

 

[497adam]

well depending on what i can get that will be the plan. Think I am getting more stressed because I wanted the car sorted for the weekend

 

[imprezaworks]

Did get a price on a btb stealth, they have a ultra quiet one "Ninja Sytem" on offer at £762 !

For that price id want a ninja in the car making exhaist noises and protecting me from all evil

 

[497adam]

Even my exhaust is a hundred quid more expensive than when I bought it, plus no stealth option anymore.

Is yours the twin box system?

 

[imprezaworks]

If I can find a good system that sits under the bumper my stealth would be for sale. Not that really helps the situation

 

[497adam]

Think we need to go into exhaust fabrication

Sent them a message

 

[DaveDreads]

What do you mean, two exhaust tips?

 

[497adam]

No single box or two box ( centre silencer)

None in stock ahhhhhhhh

 

[MicKPM]

PMS is absolutely perfect but it is pricey.

Joints are stunning, welds are quality and it does exactly what is claims. I never used any sealant and It must have been on/off my car 5 or 6 times. I'm debating about putting one on the Cup but, I would advise you get the silenced variant for a road car. I had both options and the straight thru noise was awesome, on track... Annoying on the road

 

[DaveDreads]

No single box or two box ( centre silencer)

It has the centre silencer but it's not very big and neither is the backbox, it looks like a race bike exhaust.

 

[Symon]

I am happy with my cheapo ebay exhaust.
As quiet as the standard one on the Focus most of the time but sounds good when accelerating hard, and appears very good quality.

Certainly a lot easier to live with than the Stealth piper, for me at least.

 

[DaveDreads]

I think you're right when you said stealth systems cause the sound to resonate under the car rather than going out the back, when I bought mine alot of people were going for the recessed Piper which despite being identical isn't half as loud in the car as mine is.
