which exhaust-suggestions please

[bill]

sounds like my exhaust is on the way out, not something i've ever had to replace before, so never looked into them, got a standard one on at the minute, but would like an aftermarket one, not to loud for everyday driving, but dont mind a bit of noise when on full pelt

so what are my options?

pics welcomed!

 

[imprezaworks]

I would say the rs192 but you haven't got a 182, so I'm out lol

 

[bill]

cheers lol

ktec stealth?

 

[Jonny Waugh]

Iv always been told that milltek cat back systems are very good but they are around 400-500 quid, BTB exhaust systems are also supposed to be superb but I think there even more expensive, yozzasport are also meant to be really good but I think they may be a bit loud for you, coz my mate has one and its very very loud IMO, I think in all honesty it depends how much you want to spend mate

 

[bill]

ktec stealth?

are they reasonably quiet? what about when putting your foot down?

wow! dont want to be spending that kind of money, ( unless second hand ) was thinking around the £300 mark if thats possible? think a yozza is out of the question. will look into the other 2 mind

 

[bill]

are there any bhp gains to be had by any particular exhaust system?

 

[Jonny Waugh]

On its own probs not m8 if so very minimal even from the very best ones, don't hold me to this I'm no expert just what iv learned on here m8

 

[bill]

pretty much what i thought tbh

 

[Knuckles]

i think theyre 'sporty' when you put your foot down but quiet when pootling along.

thats the only moderate 172 exhaust i know of sorry

 

[Coops Mk1]

depends on the model too, the silenced ktec is supposedly very nice, good note and live with it day to day, but the unsilenced makes a yozza look like a buddist monk in the height of the quiet season

or so i heard

 

[Emma.]

I've got a ktec supersports steath. It is rather loud but I love it.

sounds good to me that

i will bear that in mind, dont want my ears to bleed :shock:

i'll stay clear or the mrs might not want to drive it...................................... oh hang on!

 

[Emma.]

Go on YouTube and search for the exhaust names. That's what I did when deciding

 

[imprezaworks]

Thinking about it, btb?

will do, is yours very noisy when just driving along normally? just been on k-tec site, they get very good reviews, by yourself as well i think lol

Thinking about it, btb?

will check out the price

 

[bill]

btb £550 sack that!

 

[imprezaworks]

Fair one. I had a ktec on my old phase 1, it was boomy and heavy . Then I bought an omp and that would be a definate no for what you want lol.

 

[Jonny Waugh]

Forgot to say m8 that I had a magnex system on one of my previous 172's and that was pritty quite until you buried your foot a bit, but it was reasonable when just going easy, it had a really nice sound as well IMO but again I'm sure it was around 400 quid ( sorry this was around 4-5 years ago), not sure if you want to spend that much m8, but then again not sure if you could get a genuine renault one for that price, price them up m8 you will be shocked how much they are lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Genuine=loss.

 

[bill]

right, definitely want a stealth exhaust of some description, k-tec seem to be top trumps so far, looks like i might be creeping towards the£400 mark

 

[Jonny Waugh]

I've never heard anything bad about k- tec go for it m8

 

[Emma.]

i wouldn't say it was very noisy driving along normally. I have a motorway commute to work and at 70 it's ok. But it's definitely not the quietist. And yes a review by me as its way louder the ktec state unless I have a "special" one lol.

Im sure there is someone up your way who has one. They are popular I think

 

[bill]

the mrs drives it on the motorway, so probably not the best option, will have a search around on you tube like you say between the stealth and super quiet stealth, i want some bloody noise though lol

 

[imprezaworks]

It may be worth nothing but my advice is look into the btb one. Or t a custom made one to your specification. I can't think off the top my head who I was asked to speak too but I'm sure someone will know. I think you may regret buying the ktec one.

 

[Jonny Waugh]

Have a look at the magnex m8 I think that might suit you well, mine was quite buy aftermarket exhaust standards but not to quite

 

[bill]

its alot of money mate tbh, more than i want to spend really, what makes you think i might regret a k-tec one? i'm not rushing into it as my intentions are to get the current one welded up whilst i decide on a new one, i wouldn't know where to begin with a custom one tbh

 

[Jonny Waugh]

Like Imprezaworks said BTB are superb, but there super expensive around 600 quid I think, wow

 

[Daz.]

I really would buy another new standard one personally Bill.

I looked for ages for a suitable replacement then realised standard was the best replacement.

is it a stealth though?

 

[imprezaworks]

Magnex arnt afaik. Try a custom made one?

i fancy something a bit more throaty Daz, and i'm a firm believer of modify rather than replace with standard when the opportunity arises

 

[Jonny Waugh]

No sorry m8

 

[imprezaworks]

That and the fact they are over priced and don't last long. Yeah makes perfect sense

 

[bill]

Magnex arnt afaik. Try a custom made one?

think i'd rather a tried and tested one than be the tester, as there would be no going back once its on really

 

[imprezaworks]

Pay the money then dude. Good luck with the search

Oh and a custom one will be made to how you want it to sound, and I'm sure if you didn't like it down the line someone would buy it, as 'custom exhaust for sale' sounds cool lol

 

[Jonny Waugh]

Yes I priced a standard up once and once only it was crazy not far short ov BTB money lol

 

[Jonny Waugh]

I just checked with my girl and she said that the standard was over 500 for sure

 

[bill]

oh you mean as in a powerflow one etc ( the penny has dropped lol ) had many of them on previous cars, always liked them actually

f**k that!
