which cat back ss exhaust for my dads 172 ?

[cat171]

He has a mk2 172 & he wants to keep the car looking standard (no visible exhaust pipe) who is there out there ?
If the worst comes to the worst he says he'll have the pipe sticking out under the bumper (he doesn't want it cut to fit the exhaust)

It must be a decent stainless steel cat back exhaust (403 grade) he doesn't want it to be loud & only wants a 3" tail pipe max.
What is there out there thats worth getting ?

Thanks
Craig.

K-tec make a stainless stealth (not externally visible) system, this should do the trick.

forgot to say we are in Romford,Essex.
tbh K tec are miles away & they want £311.00 for the exhaust (too much money)

Well, I'm thinking Powerflow for myself. Hidden tailpipe and <£300, or about £400 with a sports cat.

There's 3 other people on the forum (that i know of) who are interested in the stealth system (me being one of them). Why don't we see if we can get a group buy organised?:approve:

id be up for a group buy on the stealth exhaust, i want one for my 52 reg cup! how many does that make for the group buy list? lets get it sorted and see how many we can get and see how much discount they will give us. while we are at it why dont we ask about a discount for a package including the stealth exhaust and the sports cat? i make that 5 people alreeady interested which is over £1500 in exhausts add to that a few cats and we are talking big money! lol maybe we should start another thread about the group buy to raise interest?

Powerflow is a franchised company with outlets pretty much everywhere, so there should be a centre near you somewhere. It has been said that quality and service can vary from excellent to terrible depending whereabout you go though, so may be worth popping into a couple and seeing what they seem like first.

Should be low 200£ for the group by - VAT and hopefully a wee discount though david...

i had a powerflow on my old fiesta 2.1ZVH, the quality was superb but the person who had it fitted went for a too large bore exhaust and it was wayyy too loud, grating even especially on steady long trips!

k tec are quite away away from us, but if the exhaust sounds nice (it must not be loud etc) then I think he'd be interested in it.
Ohter than that are there any other out there ?

My mate had a powerflow on his 106 gti - the thing was horrendously loud !!!
Plus I have heard that they aren't the best quality, apparently the boxes are, but the pipes aren't.

Custom stealth is the way IMO.

yeh powerflow will be too loud for what you want, definantly go for the ktec stealth (group buy)

Any good custom stainless steel place will be able to make as loud or as quiet as you want.
