I got a quote for a cat back stealth exhaust for my 172 from my local powerflow dealer and they are looking for 375 pounds

 

[Ricardinho]

pricey??

 

[royst]

k-tec racing do a stealth bout 300 plus your fitting

 

[John D]

£375 including fitting I take it? Its not exactly cheap

 

[Brasseye]

300 plus fitting sounds right..
long life near me wants 300 fitted

 

[John D]

Got a K-tec stealth; too loud for me.

Spoke to Powerflow; uncertain if they can do what I want

Spoke to local Longlife place though; could be on to a winner!

Cheers for the comments

i used my local powerflow who did it for 280 fully fitted - perfectly just what i wanted.

also did a 172 off here, and that was 280 as well.

 

[ChrisR]

Local (Exeter) powerflow quoted me £220 fitted, then when I said it was a stealth systme they said it was only £200

Proper pleased with it as well, sounds just right, good fit and goes well.

Loud on the motorway, and while giving it beans, but dead quiet round town mate.

Got a powerflow cat back 'stealth' system for my 172 for £200 - plus when I needed to go back to Bury st Edmunds and have it re-sealed they paid my petrol!

Am quite happy with it in terms of how it sounds and that, just isn't really that 'stealth as you can see the back box below the bumper (didn;t have the right backbox in stock at the time) and I don't really like it at all...thing is I only got it coz I needed one ASAP (original fell off) and needed it cheap.

Gonna get it sorted in the New year, might get a single exit cut out, seen some on here that look sex...:evil:

Powerflow in Leics did my gfs for £230 on her Punto HGT, it was basically the same as the standard system but stainless.

Anything over £250 for a stealth system is pricey imo.

 

[ben_p]

cant go wrong with a k-tec stelth best sound for a 172 imo

 

[tonesgtt]

Just got the last stealth (version 1) off K-Tec!! It was found in the workshop having covered about 10 miles on their demo 172 car!! Arrived a few days ago and looks as new. My luck was in there chaps as i paid £220 for it! Fitting it myself in the new year.

Big thanks to K-Tec for taking the time to go and have a look round their shop for me. Top blokes.

also did a 172 off here, and that was 280 as well.

Mine was 280 from silver systems in Leek.

the guys there really know there stuff and he sorted me out with something that isnt "intrusive" as i didnt want anything that hurt after driving for a while.

deffo go again

Have to admit the K-tec stealth does resonate a bit at around 60.....over that and it's not too bad.

Agreed ^^^^^^

 

[Neil G]

Still happy with it though.....fits nicely and weighs half what my Magnex did.

 

[docwalker]

Super timing of this thread as my original has jsut started blowing, merry christmas

Ah well did manage 54k on it.

Anyway which out of these two exhaust do people think is the best for motorway driving, leaning towards the powerflow as I an hopefully get it done tomorrow.

Cheers

 

[tr1pp1n]

dont get a powerflow. Waste of money and it will only fal lapart like the standard renault exhaust

Really but surely the lifetime warranty should take care of that.

 

[ChrisR]

Powerflow Exeter, which is right by their head office, did my cat back stealth for £200.

A normal exhaust from them was £230 but as I wasn't having a tailpipe it was only £200.

It's a little noisey, worse on motorways, but overall sound nice and danpl6 said the welds on it were very nice

 

[j6 pkp]

yeah i paid £250 for mine, stainless too, in walsall, west mids. bit of a drive for you but worth the saving!
