Mr96er Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hey, So the blow on my exhaust is the seam facing forwards on the backbox. Can't fix that so I found some guys in Leeds who are making me a replacement that comes with a lifetime guarantee. Well cheaper than an original with good looks, lighter weight and hope get sound from it that makes milk maids moist! Fitted on Monday, pics vid to follow..

Toeside Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 It will be interesting to see what they come up with. If its good they could generate some more customers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr96er Posted July 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Posted with that in mind.... Then remembered many forums frown upon promoting non site sponsors, hence not blasting out the name, also very cautious to mention them by name until I know if it's praise and exultation or a law suit followed by grid coordinates...?

Toeside Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Sounds very different Like machine gun at first then settles to a smooth sound.............. What is it like at cruising speed for 'drone'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr96er Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 There's a spot around 2.5k where it resonates but I've already found ways to drive around it. Overall it's a bit louder than I wanted, but it's got a deep tone rich and burbling that I do like ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toeside Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 It must be a bit lighter than standard also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr96er Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Loads lighter!! The old one was ridiculously well made but they took sturdy to a new level. This one is minimalist and light is good ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr96er Posted August 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 So, turned out the boom was debilitating and not really livable with, so the great guys who made it, made this! Whisper quite but with a deep bass note. Perfect touring system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr96er Posted September 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 After 1000 miles this has bedded in beautifully and now has a rich deep tone that has drawn nothing but positive feedback. Hats off to the chaps at KelTec Performance Exhausts in Leeds. They know their stuff?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witko999 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 I notice that the support link for the cats is not present on the new exhaust. Is there any problem with this? I need to remove my silencer to fix my rattling heat shields, but the support link looks like it will disintegrate when I take it apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witko999 Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Thanks. It's ok, I managed to cut off the nuts and will make a couple of new plates, so the support links will stay. It was an awful job getting the silencer off though. All the clamps had to be cut off and the retaining bolts also ground off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr96er Posted September 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 I envy your skillset, I had to bow out and let the professionals make all the important moves. I just drive it... And love that sound especially between 5&6k rpm.... Weak at the knees doesn't come close. Moist.?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
