If you think it's loud now wait till you get the 182 manifold on with the sport cat.
I have same system as you and it's loud, plenty of pops and bangs along with rasp aswell.
Chop off the tail pipe and get a smaller length of turn down pipe welded in its place.
Add some of this to the rear of the bumper -

PistonHeads Meet in Herts on the 4th July, Thought it might be worth popping along for a look as they always have some exotic stuff turn up, and lets face it, a clio Sport is only 1 step away from a supercar ;)

James, Ill hopefully be over to you soon to fit my seats once Tom comes back with a Price, Maybe you can do me a quick Diagnostic check at the same time ;)
Nick, Did yours show any dash warning lights or was all Ok just a flat spot?
Leads and Plugs and Coil are all good, Its only happened since 182 Manifold and CAT fitted, so I wonder if as you suggest the Sensor gave up the Ghost and didnt like its new home.
Noticed it after fitting my 182 Manifold and Spot CAT.

Any Ideas?
I didn't say I couldn't feel a difference, the difference is smoother feeling power delivery. What I don't know / can't tell is if I have gained power… you would never feel 5bhp as a 'wow that's so much faster' feeling IMO.
I'll reserve wild bhp gain claims until it's been RR'ed.
As far...
