  1. Ordered this:

    http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2674&catid=&appid=12&pic=2

    Now i understand that Miltek and Janspeed make some Ktec or all of there exhausts?

    It came today and has Miltek all over it including the round tail pipes. system is 2.75 inch and tailpipes 3 inch as expected.

    Rang Ktec up just before they closed and they advised they collabrate with Miltek so will have Miltek on it. Ok i thought

    Now on closer inspection the back box seems bigger more oval shape than cylinder shape. Pics Below (plus instructions are Miltek aswell)

    My Backbox is like this:

    Ktec Backbox should be like this

    Looks like the old style one to me - I think that picture on the k-tec website is the new style one.
     
  3. Little by cheeky really, but nether the less Millteks still a quality system. Would it have been cheaper direct though?
     
  4. Worked out £450 with delivery which i think is about the same?

    Its the backbox thats bugging me as it will be quieter compared to the other one if its larger. I had a miltek before and with decat was aweosme but i also experied it with a sports cat and it lost so much noise and Low end grunt as expected.

    i suppose with miltek like you say it is a decent system and decat can always be done if i get bored.maybe a little more social aswell with the miltek
     
  5. Surely it's too much money for the one you don't want.
     
  6. Have you not got a picture of the one you have ?
     
  7. He's put an image link up nob ed
     
  8. Basically same as k tec but backbox is more oval as in the first pic rather than cylindrical
     
  9. Which one do you actually want
     
  10. Sent you the wrong one then, its not what you ordered, send it back at their cost
     
  11. Lol well i wanted the one i ordered, but thought i would ask if anybody had similar experiences. If i ordered cobra there would be no confusion but if they use miltek im unsure if its just a miltek one or supposed be ktec's version.
    getting some work done tomorrow on my hubs so may just get it fitted anyway.
    decat option in future and will sound awesome anyway.
     
  12. I have a 3" system on order. It should be here tomorrow so I'll take a pic & you can compare.

  13. If it has the big round box then you have the Miltec .. Which is much quieter than the Ktec 2.75" one with small round back box

    Miltek do make both systems tho
     
  14. Sounds more like he has the Miltec with round tail pipes .. Same as mine .. No picture of that is there nob ed
     
  15. dont understand why they have sent the wrong one are they that stupid!

    mate had the same problem with his exhaust kept sending the wrong sleeve size not from K-tec though

    seems whoever packs these things doesnt pay much attention to detail.
     
  16. I'll wait & see if I get the 3" system I ordered then. 2.75" is no good to me when I put my engine in.

  17. yep triple check
     
  18. Right have rang K-tec and spoke to somebody else who checked the part numbers and indeed i do have the Miltek backbox as i suspected. They are sending the correct part tomorrow and collecting the wrong back box tomorrow.
     
  19. Nice to see ktec providing a decent customer service.
     
  20. They rang me today & told me they have only just had the delivery today so will get it Monday.

  21. Thats a good result, id like to change my big backbox for the smaller one.
     
  22. I need a back box if you are tempted to change...

    Id rather have the miltek box the ktec one is to loud.
     
  25. miltek too quiet in my experience. I want a deeper sound and from looking at videos will hopefully be the one.
     
  26. I used to have that Ktec one on my old R26 its a fairly quiet system but sounds well.
     
  27. Very nice. I'd have the ktec over the milltek any day.
