Noise?

 

[TeZ]

im interested are they better than the PECO?

 

[TeZ]

what about £80

 

[K-Tec Racing]

Definately.

There are not too noisy but do give a slightl sorty sound to the exhaust. Please remember these were an official Renault uograde so they would not want them to be too loud.

[TeZ]

how many u got Davy i wont have money till next month but im interested

 

[bmh.01]

So you have to cut your original exhaust to fit this? No way of reverting should you want?

 

[tommyboy]

These aren't too loud at all, we're an option on the later mk2's iirc. Can sound beefy though at the right moment.

A good option over the standard box on most mk2's which you can't even see as it's tucked right up like a stealth system.........

nope it sits below the rear bumper mate. it won't burn through the plastic either, there's a heat shield down there if you take a look

 

[TeZ]

yea i no , sorry just thught what u ment was it sits inside the rear like a stealth lol all gd, any performance gains at all?

 

[tommyboy]

I tried looking for a pic of one fitted mate but no luck. try autotrader and search under the latest mk2 ph3's. some of those have these backboxes fitted

 

[TeZ]

will do

 

[TeZ]

performance gains???

 

[tommyboy]

yea i no , sorry just thught what u ment was it sits inside the rear like a stealth lol all gd, any performance gains at all?

no probs. it's defo not stealth but it's not big and chavvy like. doubt they'll be any gains tbh as it's only a backbox. very minimal if anything.

will defo sound better though

 

[TeZ]

yea may think about it, what others are there if i dont wnna buy this and want some power gains

 

[TeZ]

i have MK2 PH2 1.4 16v

 

[tommyboy]

what engine is your clio? from 1.6 upwards you can see decent gains imo.

anything less and I'm not sure it's worth thinking about gains from a zorst.

Powerflow systems do a good job and you can specify how loud / quiet you want it and the tailpipe design specifically to your taste. Usually cost around £400 inc VAT.

But these are the full works and not just a backbox

They do backboxes aswell though, of equal quality. My mate had a full 3" system on his Corsa 1.4 SRI and it sounded great and was bombproof for a good 2 years of him having it

i have MK2 PH2 1.4 16v

there's alot of backboxes out there to choose from if that's the route you take.

imo a Janspeed / Magnex would be perfect. You pay more than Peco/Ashley etc but they are better built. I had a Magnex on my 1.2, but it was silly loud

 

[K-Tec Racing]

OK, to clarify a few points.

We will have these available for the next couple of months, there is no need to cut your valance and the rear bracket on the exhast is adjustable for height so you should be able to get a neat fit. I would not anticipate a performance gain and once cut in the correct place (as shown on the easy to follow instructions) you can put the standard back box back on by using a special clamp that Renault sell.

David.

 

[TeZ]

sounds like a plan

 

[bmh.01]

Hmm, i'm liking the sound of this. Want a cheeky little exhaust but want to be able to put the standard backbox back on easily enough.

Any idea on the cost of this clamp to reattach the standard box or part #?

 

[TomTom]

Fitted one of these as an optional extra but never seen one from the factory with it on. No difference in performance to be honest.

How difficult to do? How did it look/fit/sound tom? You know of this "special" clamp to reattach the standard backbox?

 

[d4ve86]

got one of these on my 1.4 16v there is no extra noise, its running with itg air filter, felt slightly better when accelerating but just sounds same as standard, they are also really really heavy and ruin the rear exhaust mount.

 

[bmh.01]

Ahh sod that then, was after a quite one but if its the same as standard then not worth bothering with I don't think. Anyone else had one?

Looked s**t, just looks like a cheap non-standard backbox (which it is) that sits below the bumper
didn't make that much difference to sound. The hangar is the same design its just modified. Didn't take long to fit on a ramp though.

edit- There is a 1.2 with one on here I'm sure I've seen the photos.

 

[bmh.01]

Yeh there is i've found the photos and it doesn't look the best tbh, don't think i'll be bothering especially with the lack of noise.
