After many years of using the forum I am now a paying member lol :).
Anyway I had a BMC CDA fitter and after reading people keeping original air boxes and getting panel filters I decided to try it myself. Can't believe how much different that setup makes, chuffed with it now :).
All I gotta...
Got a SS cat back system on my 182 and got a decat fitted as well but I'm disappointed that it doesn't pop and burble on overrun. Does anyone know if the Rs tuner remap will make it pop more etc or go to Jms for the pop and bang remap as I can't see the Rs tuner has a map like this :(
Got a KTEC Ultra cat back system (not silenced) now with a decat pipe fitted, BMC induction kit, HC front discs with DS2000 pads and a KTEC front carbon splitter :) so i'm thinking the next thing would be a remap. I'm thinking about the RStuner as i've heard good things about it on here and the...
Thanks for everyones help, I knew I could count on u guys *wipes tear from eye* lol.
Getting new one tomorrow and getting it fitted at the weekend, KTEC have been very good and understanding so I take all negative comments back.
Lovin the flange lol!
The idea is to scrap that crappy join between the mid section and the decat so they just slot together!
The other half has sorted it now, contacted KTEC and they are replacing it, really sound about it and good customer service.
Off to pick up my car from it's MOT...
Just brought and received a new KTEC Ultra 2.5" decat pipe and it looks fu**ed!!! does this look normal for a decat pipe and is the flange end meant to be at a slight angle???

hi, got the same issue as well on my 182, it's between 3.5-4k on acceleration and on over run, it's not the fuel guard rail as that fell off lol! doesn't look like heatshielf or the system hitting anything but it sounds like it's in my passanger footwell but when you listen to it outside the car...
Yeah sorry I meant the fuel rail guard. Might just remove the 2 bolts from the engine block that holds it on and leave it off. It's was only swapped 3 months ago coz it was rattling at 4k, bloody thing! Cheers I'll have a look 2morrow.
Was driving 2 work fri morning and hear like a clattering of something underneath my car so thought nothing of it. Today I got my old cup nuts out the manfold for the fitting kit so decided 2 check oil etc. Popped the bonnent had a look and the pissing fuel rail had come off and was resting on...
Can hear the whistle in your vid, doesn't sound bad at all, not as bad as mine:( I think whistle noises are cracks in cat flange iirc. The part that sits in front of the cat will probably be the gasket + bolts with springs which is the fitting kit. I already replaced mine but looking at my car...
I can hear the rattle the the revs drop from 3.5k so I'll have a look under the car when I've pulled up and see if it's heatshield or something.
The noise when I floor it is like air rushing through the system or escaping so don't know if it is the system and if it does sound like that.
It's...
Hi just wondering if the clips below sound normal. Got a tiny blow on the cat/manifold connectors even after a new kit, although couldn't get the deep cups out and are still using the old ones in the manifold :(. When flooring the car it makes that raspy/rattle noise, but driving smoothly into...
me thinks i'm gonna get on the blower to renault and order the fitting kit then to see if it stops the blow from the cat/mani joint, can't find the OEM kit online though :(
Interesting coz i've just fitted the NWP fitting kit, springs were fully compressed when fitted and there is still a blow :( may need to order the OEM kit then to see if it improves
Oh rite. Me and my mate just got a new clamp and put some loctite sealant on the joint, still getting a raspy noise under heavy load around 3-4k, maybe it's the characteristic of the exhaust?
It was that holts stuff from halfords. I told my mate to get another new clamp and some silicone stuff and seal and attatch the mid section on first, let it dry/set then put the rest of the system on lol. Seems such a pain in the arse lol!
Think it is blowing as he put some exhaust paste round the 2 connectors (cat 2 exhaust) and he could hear it spitting lol from the clamp coz he left the car idling to set the paste. What about heatshield bandage over the 2 joins then clamping up. I had a pug 206 gti with the same exhaust joint...
Hi, just posting this for a mate as he has the above system without centre silencer with standard cat on a 182, basically he gets "whooshy" noise from under the car when flooring it but poodle around he doesn't get the noise. Is this normal as he checked for exhaust blow but it doesn't seem to...
