Looking for an exhaust sound clip/video of a KPM 3" full exhaust system after they split from Exhaust Technology (around 2015).

Just trying to figure out if the note changed since they outsourced the manufacturing.

I just want to know/hear exactly what i'm going to get before i drop that amount of money on a non-refundable item.

Thanks heaps.

I thought they split earlier than 2015. I have 2 kpm 3" systems.
Cammed ve ute sounds incredible fitted the exhaust in 2010 wasn't made but exhaust technology. Only issue the X pipe cracked which I heard was common.
Vf2 SS sedan just OTR etc, again sounds great I bought it 2nd hand when cold have rattle in one muffler for first 30seconds then all good.

I could only find a bit of info on the split, but someone posted a comment that they split late 2015, but no clue if that's accurate, just all i had to go on.

There's 2 video's of a KPM exhaust on Youtube:



Both sound very similar and is exactly the sound i am looking for. But, even though the green SS's video is posted only 2 years ago, he commented that he has had the system on for 3 years already, which as far as i knew more than likely is a product of before the split. So, up until now i was unsure if i purchased a exhaust from KPM in the near future that i would be getting that sound as produced above^ or may be stuck with something different.

Any chance yours on your VF sounds similar to those 2 and being second hand, was it the overseas manufactured one which is current, or a previous build?

Thanks for the reply btw, you're helping me out a bunch.

I know the silver car is Aust system, they had slip over connectors.
Both of mine have flange connections sound same etc. The VF system has had no repairs on X pipe but looks the same to me.
Only other complaints I've heard are flutter sound on cammed 2 1/2" systems which they changed the muffler design a few years ago. Go on LS1 forum as search kpm.

I'm unfortunately a little confused at the moment.

So, you have flange connections on your VE UTE and VF? Cause from what i can see on KPM's current website, their current system that they sell (which is made overseas) uses flange connections too, as seen here:

https://www.kpmmotorsport.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Mustang_Exhaust_GT.jpg

So, technically i should be getting a similar, if not the same, system sound if i purchased one from them now. Even though they are made overseas.

Brilliant. Thanks a bunch for your help mate, really saved me a lot of money.

One more quick question; Do the police give you any trouble because of the exhaust? Or is it fairly sedate at idle?

Cool, thanks. Sounds like it's exactly what i'm looking for as long as it roars when your foots planted.
