Stupidly loud Ktec stealth

[flebay]

You missed the bit about twin pass ktec or should I say janspeed are the only company that make this type of exhaust for the 172.
The Integra type r dc2 and dc5 use the same design. The 2.5 to 2.25 bore will make little to no difference sound wise.

Thanks will have a read of that.

Looks like i’ll just have to change the centre box,which should be a cheaper easier option,just need to find the right box and company to do this.The thing is what do i look for and ask when asking these garages on the silencer,i know just to say i want your quietest box

Also found this when reading up on the supersprint system,they also mention about having one of the systems at 54mm bore to stop inside drone noise,and there group N at 63.5mm.

Front section with HJS 100 CPSI sports cat or with resonator (to avoid the typical metallic buzz of decat pipes). Ø60mm for optimal flow, compatible with OEM headers and centre pipe.
-Resonated centre section Ø54mm, to avoid drone inside the cabine
-Rear muffler Ø54mm, homologated, available in "stealth" version, hidden behind the bumper like the stock system, or with a 120x80mm oval tip under the bumper (no need to cut)

This exhaust has been developed to give optimal performance gains without being too loud and drony for daily commute and highway driving. The HJS metallic cat reduce the pollutant gas perfectly.

A version for the 182 '04-'05 version bumper, with twin central outlets, is available

The racing "Group N" exhaust, Ø 63.5mm / 2"5, is designed for race cars and trackdays, so both the front and centre sections are available in unresonated straight pipe version. The rear silencer is available with a simple Ø70mm outlet under the bumper or as a "stealth" version.

Got another price today and this fella wants £300 just to do the centre section.

IWS Developments Ltd

And £600 for a system from BTB

 

[imprezaworks]

Lots of money

Crazy aint it mate,prob go with EMP as there work looks amazing to be honest & its £250,which seems cheap compaired to what other prices ive been getting and they give a lifetime guarantee

 

[imprezaworks]

What’s the 250 for again?.

 

[MrBlonde]

What’s the 250 for again?.

centre section in 2.25 bore with quietest silencer to fit my rear 2.5inch bore rear box.

 

[yeecup]

Seems very expensive for a centre pipe IMO. How much do ktec charge for the resonated centre pipe? I take it you have the straight through centre pipe just now?

No mate i have a ktec centre section with silencer but its the 2.5inch bore.
I got a price off ktec today for the 2.25inch quiter one they do and priced me
£120+vat and £10+vat for postage
But then i would need to get a sleeve made or something so it fits the 2.5inch rear box.

[MrBlonde]

Thats funny as i was emailing them today about what one to get,just depends if the 2.5 or 2.25inch bore is an internal or outside dia?

@flebay

 

[MrBlonde]

So for the 2.25inch super quiet centre section,its £156 inc del.so im going to go with that i think.

I may go over and see that guy at IWS, work looks fantastic. I want the impreza louder and to be able to hear the turbo more.

His work does look great but quoted me to much mate just for centre section wanted £300!

 

[Mr R.]

See now I'm not being funny but on a low cost car that's alot but if that was for something worth ££££ then it would be reasonable.

Also the guy us making a one off from scratch. The guy who made my down pipe charged me £300 I think and wanted another £700 for the rest of the system.

 

[MrBlonde]

Yeah i agree with a proper car its worth the money but not a 2k clio.

@Phase1sr

 

[MrBlonde]

So the new centre section came this morning ready to be fitted this weekend.Interested to see what it will be like.

 

[imprezaworks]

Worse

 

[MrBlonde]

Well fitted the exhaust and got to say no difference haha!.:weary:

So maybe rear box next!.

 

[imprezaworks]

Really

 

[hsustyle]

Well fitted the exhaust and got to say no difference haha!.:weary:

Oh no!

 

[MrBlonde]

Yep!.same drone at 70/80!.soo f**k knows,maybe get a decent rear box made up or something.

It may tick over a bit quiter but im sure theres hardly any difference

 

[imprezaworks]

Worse



:smile:

 

[MrBlonde]

Gutted 😞

I hate to say I told you so.

Don't listen to inprezaworks.

 

[MrBlonde]

Don't listen to inprezaworks.

Haha,its meant to be ktec’s quiet system!.well the centre section,so either get there so called quiet rear box which is a twin pass or just do a custom job!.

 

[imprezaworks]

Had the same system. Might be a cup thing lol

 

[MrBlonde]

Had the same system. Might be a cup thing lol

It still has the 2.5bore year box on it tho just the super quiet 2.25inch centre section,even tho it looked the same as the one I took off,just smaller bore.Its annoying me as to why it does it

 

[welshname]

He also ran it on his ph1.

The exhaust was so loud because the baffles were shagged. It was the most distinctive sounding Clio ever. We'd be waiting for him at Trafford park and we would hear him a good 5 minutes before he turned up.

 

[MrBlonde]

That sounds like a straight through centre pipe tho & de cat?.

Im changing the rear box for ktec super quiet one i think,waiting on an email back from James at ktec

 

[MrBlonde]

Found some exhaust wrap in my tool box yesterday and wondered if wraping the centre section it may help with the drone noise,may make the pipe less resinate.

Anyone done this or used the exhaust wrap apart from on the manifold?

I'm sure he had a resonator?

@Jonff

 

[MrBlonde]

@Jonff

Is this different to a silencer then?

It won't mate.

 

[MrBlonde]

Was worth a try i guess,may stick an original system back on it.

Ive looked into the resonator idea tho & just thinking if there would be room.

It won't make any difference unfortunately. I bought my system wrapped and it still makes a hell of a racket on the motorway.

 

[MrBlonde]

Shame ay mate @197. as would of been a nice little fix.

I guess may just have to put up with it for now & get a custom made of decent system in a few months when ive got the money together.

 

[Jonff]

@Jonff

Yeah had a centre silencer, when it was straight though it was measuring 112DB so you can imagine what kind of racquet it was making.

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol at 112
