Clio 182 Exhaust Kit??

[Blue Mez]

I'm looking into purchasing either a Yozza or Milltek Cat-Back exhaust system, still unsure which one i should get yet as there are many mixed reviews on here and its confusing as fuk lol.


My question is; if i was to buy one of the above, is it worth purchasing a full 182 Exhaust Kit? (as shown in link below)

there was a thread about this just yesterday aswell

bascially get underneath and have a look at your exhaust hangers, if they have sagged or cracked then yeh it would be worth replacing at the same time

why replace something when you don't know the condition of the one you've already got ?

Sorry didn't notice there was a thread regarding the same question!

I will deffo replace the mounts as they are pretty fukd, the main thing was the Clamp and Fitting Kit?

i can't for the life of me remember if my Milltek came with the clamps or not

I was told by a mechanic that at the engine side of the cat, it would need a new gasket etc to take the strain of having a SS exhaust on it, dont know whether this is true or not, thought i would ask you lot.

 

[calum001]

most decent SS exhausts aren't heavier or even lighter than the OEM equialent so i would say thats bull personally, the hangers take most of the weight and not the joint aswell

it's a metal gasket so could be reused imo if in decent condition but for the cost wouldn't be a bad thing to replace it to make sure it's a snug fit, actually saying that you're keeping the cat on and not replacing it arent you ? if thats the case and it's not currently blowing from the cat/manifold i wouldn't bother touching it

Oh ok mate, so you reckon i should realy just purchase the rear and centre mounts then?

When i puchase a cat-back it should come with all the clamps etc. im assuming.

If you buy a Milltek it comes with Clamps, I would also buy a full set of hangers and a new manifold gasket kit, I did with mine if you're going to disturb it which you will you might as well fit a new part while your under it

When fitting a Milltek (for example), is any welding required? Or do things slot in place and you just tighten everything up?

No need to weld anything,

Just bolts up in place of the original, The Standard one will need cutting off though unless you drop the beam down and decide to save the standard one, Not that i can think of any reason to do so!
