New BTM Exhaust

hodgy21 · Oct 3, 2012

I don't know if anyone has seen this yet but there is a new exhaust from BTM (formerly Yozzasport).

Here is their advert from Cliosport :-

No more crap Renault exhaust hangers! Unfortunatley the target retail price has had to go up because of the brackets, but i think its worth it!

RRP is gong to be £500inc vat (plus delivery or we will fit £FOC)

group buys are possible on these as we can make them much quicker than the old system

I have asked about the standard hangar on the left side of the exhaust and Fred has said that it will be as substantial as the one on the right on the production versions.

I have a Yozzasport exhaust on my car at the moment and in my opinion the build quality is very good. If the build quality of this new exhaust is the same then I will probably be looking to change to this set up once I have had the opportunity to hear one on a car.

What are your opinions people?

I'm not keen on the backbox showing tbh.

Isn't that similar to how the Orbisoud backbox looks?

Yup, same as the BTB as well:

I don't really like that last photo of the BTM as like stevo said the back box is visible from behind. I'm looking for a new exhaust system atm as mine OEM has died

Sir_Dave · Oct 3, 2012

From memory, all the good systems are slightly visible, & all the cr4p ones are hidden.

Looks nice.

With the 'old' Yozzasport exhaust fitted I have found that the design some how puts alot less strain on the original hangers so I don't find the original hangers to be a problem, plus they're only around £10 each to replace anyways.

Interested to hear how it sounds

Looks awesome, the new hangers I really like.

Can't think of any exhaust system other than standard that you can't see the back box tbh. And the photos taken at a low level anyways.

Looks good

What sort of pipe diameter is it through out ? 2 or 2.5 inch or both in places ?

Jon.G · Oct 4, 2012

Looks like 2.5 all the way through.

That's a better picture Jon.
Sound test came in at 92Db@4000rpm.

They will also remove the awful cat to centre section joint for an extra £70.

Orbisoud copy?
Got the real thang. I'm out. (It will no doubt be good though).

Jon.G · Oct 6, 2012

LOL. Ktec are also doing one VERY similar too. Priced a lot less too.

aucky · Oct 6, 2012

Are JP double dipping to undercut Fred?

It has to be different. The pipes on the BTM are solid/one piece from the looks of it. The Ktec rear pipes look like they just slide on? No welding?

BTM looks like the better product from the photo's IMO.

Wasn't this Orbisoud style exhaust mooted a long while back, back when ktec and Fred were working together. I guess that may be why there are now two versions looking quite similar. Out of the two the BTM "looks" the better even though that hanger arrangement looks pretty heavy, clunky and ott. If anything the Ktec's tailpipe idea would really put me off, who in their right mind thought that was good, just manufacture two different backboxes and give peeps the option. Anyway I have the original and best so I'm alright
