OEM type muffler

[kellogs666]

Hi there people!
Looking for a stock muffler, but since I cannot find one I am between Klarius, GT exhausts and Hoffmann
who they all claim the mufflers are stock oriented.
Any opinions or experience would be appreciated.
Thank you!

@ex-Chinese Dave has a klarius, I’ve been in it and it’s pretty quiet.

Yeah, check on here....

My cheap(ish) 172 Cup

Driving to work and back yesterday it's noticeable the change in noise. The only thing I did was change the spring as it was the only thing I could see that I could do. A stronger spring may give a better result but it was a genuine Renault part I fitted, and this is the set up from the factory...

It was a game changer. I had an original Cup back in 2004 and this exhaust is pretty much the same sound and feel.

Ok!
You switched from a custom system to Klarius I guess?

I think it had the standard down pipe, a non-OEM Cat, a Klarius centre section and an unknown back box. At EFI Chris suspected a problem with the baffles somewhere but we got 168bhp from a standard engine on 133k. All I’ve changed since is to fit a new Klarius centre section and back box. It feels like there’s more response from the engine now but without putting it on a RR I don’t know if it’s gained any power. If it has it’ll only be a few BHP but the car drives so much better now.

 

[kellogs666]

Wow. Better at low-mid revs? Probably better backpressure

 

[ex-Chinese Dave]

Just better everything

 

[kellogs666]

The backbox you had was the loud inox type?

 

[ex-Chinese Dave]

I’ve no idea what make it was but it was boomy.

 

[kellogs666]

Ok… very interesting info.
One last question, do you have a 200 cat? Or 400?

 

[ex-Chinese Dave]

I don’t know what it is. Have a look at the pictures and I’ve been told it’s not standard.

 

[kellogs666]

So apart from the responsiveness the change in the noise was noticeable right?

 

[ex-Chinese Dave]

What exhaust is this?

Can anyone tell me what exhaust this is from this sticker? The car is a 172 Cup and this exhaust has a right burble to it. There’s no way it’s an OE exhaust as my first new Cup back in the day sounded nothing like this.
