Glad we got there in the end and glad I could take the opportunity to run the group buy for myself and other members benefit which of course without the admin and mod's putting in the work the forum wouldn't be here and that chance wouldn't occur.
I'm sorry.. i'm not very good with speeches
First of all I'd like to thank my....
Once again... Well done!
These things are VERY hard to get off the ground. I've done a range of these and they have all taken a lot of work chasing suppliers, forum users etc. You really can't tell the effort required from just the forum posts. There is a lot of investigation, phone calls, and emails behind the scenes!
BUT.... This is the whole point of these forums! To help us all. The more we all put in, the more we all get back. [smilie=thanks.gif]
Anyway back on topic!
Those standard back boxes look rubbish and sound poo! Enjoy going deaf! :badgrin:

As Clarkeeuk99 isn't a member he can't post in here so posting this on behalf of him.
The K-Tec buy will still go ahead because they've received 4 deposits and well mine got posted yesterday so to late to turn back however!
If anyone else does want in my suggestion is.
Contact Clarkee99uk and then he can ring K-Tec to say the deposit can be transferred to .... Mr 'X' ... then pay Clarkee99uk his £100 deposit back and K-Tec the £475 outstanding.
That way you've paid the same price and Clarkee99UK gets his deposit back.

Mine didn't arrive today which is shame as car has no exhaust at the moment.
If yours is coming Friday then I guess they've given you the 1 in stock even though I paid first and he told me it would be posted Wednesday?
Semi-sour grapes if so as organised the group buy, first to pay and told it would be here Thursday on Tuesday so spent time taking my current exhaust off ready to fit.
Should it take 2 weeks to order another set i'm screwed as i'm off to Modded UK next Friday and took what I was told in good faith. Infact it would annoy me enough to ask for full refund.
Anyway, I'm prob getting on my high horse as tired so I'll have to wait till morning and just phone and double check it was sent Wednesday for me :approve:

I got told they had 1 super sport and 3 sports in stock.
It's the offer you've made that makes me proud to be part of this forum and community but I couldn't take the offer up.
Like I said, i'm most likely jumping the gun and getting myself frustrated for no reason. I'm on short fuse tonight due to well 'family illness'.
Maybe they stock checked again and actually had 2 and 2 I dunno, will ring tomorrow just to see if I need to wait in for a delivery or not and take it from then, no point in me assuming anything
Seriously though! thanks for offer really appriciate it!

Hi Andy
I think Ktec have them selves a little confused as they rang me this morning to check the card details of the card I paid my deposit with as the had not actualy taken the deposit. All paid now and I asked him when it would come as they did tell me it would be here today but he said about 2 weeks for mine which suits me.
Not sure what they did but I think were all sorted now.

I rang this morning as they were still confused? I'm chasing lots of things up at the moment ordered other bits from other companies it was.
£8.50 - Next Day Delivery (I ordered on Tuesday)
£6.50 - 2 Days Delivery
£4.00 - Standard Delivery
Today is day 3 and I paid the £8.50 :approve:
It'll all work out in the end
Things could be worse, someone angle grinded my friends Skyline door yesterday for around 15 inches along [smilie=evil.gif]

I feel it's sitting a little to low and a fraction more to the left than centre but it is also 'the best' possible fit I can do at present.
When the previous custom exhaust was built they've cut the standard exhaust hangers and made custom ones up and also cut the puts coming down that connect to the exhaust so it's meant it was a struggle fitting and I needed to re-work the new brackets to adapt it to fit as when I originally lined it all up the exhausts sat top left.
Needs a clean but as soon as fitted I headed out so didn't take pics till late last night.
Overall i'm pleased and i'll decide if I'm going to mesh the side gaps today or not.
One thing I will say.
It's not as loud as my old racing can exhausts and certainly doesn't pop as much, but then I had 2 backboxes last time 1/3 of the size of this one.

Ive ssen the pics of your old ones I did like them but prefer the new one. Were they bike cans?
Do you have the standard cats and exchange box?
I have a repalcement which are all in one with single cheery bombs instead of the exchange box.
So it may be louder then the standard clio system
