As Tango already mentioned, the NS Highway route, exit Yong Peng to Segamat and Kuantan will be faster than taking the Kota Tinggi-Mersing-Kuantan route. From Kuantan, you have a choice of going by the coastal route (highway 3) or the inland route (highway 14) to KT & Merang.

There might be a possible 3rd route which is to briefly get on the ECE (East Coast Expressway) to Kuantan but I have not tried this and so cannot comment - as you near Kuantan from the long straight Segamat route, you'll normally have to turn right at a T-junction in the past to get into Kuantan. This T-junction is no longer a T as a new road has been opened which leads to the highway. I've not spoken to anyone who has tried this, so not quite sure where to exit or how much time/distance you'll save.

Between highways 14 & 3, any time savings you make will depend on traffic conditions. Many overnight coaches will take highway 3 to KT and they go quite fast as there is little traffic then so it might end up about the same. Usually in the day, traffic is heavier on highway 3 due to many towns along it. Highway 14 by comparison has much lighter traffic. Bear in mind these are typical trunk roads where you'll have to overtake against oncoming traffic so you can get slowed down a lot just following some big truck or tanker if there's a lot of oncoming traffic.

Hope this helps.
Alex.
