Is that a ktec recessed exhausted?

Car looks nice mate. I fitted Cooksport springs & new shocks all round 3weeks ago. A lot nicer than the ktec coilovers I had before.

Cheers mate, yeah its a KTR Recessed sport ( Silenced version ) but its decatted, yeah the cooksports are really highly rated, im very happy with them, i previously had eibach prolines which have done about 50 miles but i wanted more of a drop and im going to remove the back seats once shes back on the road end of april :)

What is the exhaust like? I gada stealth which I got rid of due to the horrible droning noise when I was on the motorway. I've got a Prospeed recessed backbox but it shows too much of the backbox itself and I want something like the ktec.

Yeah its spot on chris even with the decat the noise is subtle, i hear much more induction noise, the prospeed i hear is good, the K-Tec sits lovely and flush with the bumper and dont stick out hardly like other exhausts

Brilliant. Think I'll be buying just the backbox because I kept the centre section. I had the ktec induction kit but should it because I only drive the car on the weekends. I do miss that noise tho :) you just need Trophy spoiler now ;)

Kyle, have you tried Greenlight insurance in here? There bloody good! £500 deposit seems a lot.

Yeah i need 1 years NCD mark which i aint got :-(

Brentacre gave me the best quote, i have 11 points on my licence and a crash from 4 years ago so my insurance is over 2k :-(
