Looked tidy. I was in 2 minds whether to have a punt, but as Im waiting for the Janspeed I decided against it.

How much did it go for?

Ive got a Quicksilver that im selling so was interested in the finish price

£312.. looked like new from the photos apart from the joint pipes.

more than half the KTec price
 
Well done! Great buy! With some bias aside i think the k-tec is the best sounding backbox on the market...It enhances the noise without being overly intrusive.
 
I'm not a fan of the Qucksilver at all mate. Listened to Matt's video on youtube the other nice! - WOW! (But loud!!)

Janspeed full system sounds nice, it's just the tailpipes i don't like!

I'm with you on this Ali. However, Shaun has had Janspeed weld the more traditional rolled tip type on and my god its a good set up. We had a bit of a ding dong returning back from RWS sunday. Sat next to each other flat out in 3rd his car sounded fecking amazing. I actually nearlly wet myself! Its by far and away the best sound I've heard come from an off the shelf setup.
 
As we were discussing at the lakes evening meal, shauns janspeed seems to "rip" almost like a turbo'd sound and it does sound brilliant!

Matts however...... :bow:

Best of both worlds then!
 
Cheers guys! I'm very happy with the Janspeed set up on my car. Its the full Janspeed sports cat system, bought second hand from Bill Pitchfork, and fitted by Scott whilst the engine was out having cam belts done. Like Ali, I dont like the standard tips on the Janspeed, Si also had them changed to his taste but not mine. So, I had the back box away and back to Janspeed for the same size tail pipe as standard, inward rolled and square cut. I'm told it sounds great.. but I can only hear the sound from infront of the engine, and not the full effect from behind. :rollseyes:

I had a QS sport back box on my Black Gold vee, and it boomed inside the car quite badly in comparison to even the full Janspeed! I didnt really notice it was that bad at the time, as it was on the car when I bought it. I wasnt unbearable, and at the time, I quite liked it. The Janspeed however, is in a different league. Plenty of bark when the gas is on.. and yet very subtle when driving normally. Win - win!

Do Janspeed still make the systems as sold and badged as KTec?
 
Grey area there, because my version of the k-tec, (The loopy system) was made by Tiger?! I believe the latter ones were made by Janspeed.
 
I'm gonna throw a spanner in the works here... if Janspeed used to make the KTEC exhausts, how come they are having to retool/make up new Jigs for the Group Buy that Spike is arranging?

They were made for the ph1 lol

The back box will fit straight onto a ph1, where as with the ph 2 you'll need the down pipes too, maybe even the manifolds! I loose track of it all to be honest.. :rofl:
