I've got a Blueflame on my 182, perfectly happy with the quality, obviously not up to yozzasport standard, but half the price.

Definitely going for the Mk2 KTR stealth now, as reports (and KTR's info) say it is less boomy than the Mk1 so sounds ideal.

Just come back from having it fitted at my local garage and giving it a bit of a hoon - am impressed so far.

While it sounds a bit quieter than I expected (possibly as I'd got used to the extra noise of the dying OEM backbox) is got an aggresive wail at around 4000rpm, but having found a local airfield to experience 3 figures I caa report that it's not boomy at all, as wind and tyre noise takes over well before that point.

All told, the exhaust (with 5% cliosport.net discount), fitting and my donation to that crook at #11 was £391, a bit more than I'd expected to pay originally (just wanted a back box), but it's a quality bit of kit and should survive a lot better than the soft steel rubbish Renault supplies.
