MANIFOLD

[Gibs]

hi guys im looking to upgrade to a 182 manifold!

Can someone tell me if this is a 182 or a 172 manifold

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Clio-172-Exha...39:1|66:2|65:12|240:1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

How do i tell the difference?

 

[Saner]

It does say its a 172 mainfold in the description!

172 manifold is 4-1
182 Manifold is 4-2-1

You will need to replace the entire exhaust, or get a linking pipe if you buy a 182 manifold

It says 172, but it also says 2005, n i thought that was too new for a 172???

 

[Saner]

Your right, could have been a late registered one.

 

[Henry]

that's a 172 manifold.

the 182 mani looks like this: http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2496

Cheers guys i understand now!

is it actually worth doing?

 

[172Ben]

i was just going to ask? cant be worth the hassle surely?

 

[Saner]

SOme will swear yes, others swear no.. majority swear yes.

 

[Henry]

not for £450..

i'd have a go if you can get one cheaply enough and don't mind the hassle involved in fitting it (subframe needs to be dropped)

4-2-1 manifold for improved torque, ideal since the clio sport block produces very little

4-1 For the rev-happy go-kart & strong "5k kick".. only flaw being fuel consumption

I would keep it as a 4-1 its too much hassle to get it changed as you have to also get a custom cat etc.

If that 172 mani sells for 50 sheets im gonna lump all my old ones on the bay geeezzzz

Its worth fitting if yourplanning on being a long term Clio owner and who wants to match it with other mods like cams inlets etc etc etc
