as has already been pointed out sports cats are only worth while on 172's (but even at that id get a decat :p)
the 182 runs a really free flowing cat anyway so not really any gain to be had by having one.
yeah i know they are much cheaper, i cant see why it wont fit but you never know. not really worth the high cost of a 182 manifold plus custom centre section if needed for the small gain over a 172 manifold though!
yes, the problem with the relocation kit is the inlet tract is too long so it looses torque, not a problem with a filter bolted on to the manifold/throttle body, but heatsoak then becomes a problem so a design like you posted above is better.
bigger gains to be had on a turbo car but yeah it will make a difference on a 172.
id go for decat and swap it over at mot time but thats just me, if you would rather fit it and leave it go for a sportscat
a pannel filters a pannel filter to be honest on these cars as its not like they flow massive ammounts of air anyway.
dont bother with ITG for it (ive got one in my 172 but doubt i could tell a difference between it or a pipercross or k&n etc)
just go for a pipercross thats what i had in...
thats what i like to see some good old fasioned DIY!!!
is it possible to use a 182 manifold or is it too long unless you make a full new centre section?
i dont 40k without the pannel as i lost it when i had the relocation kit lol never had a problem. my alternator was a bit coroded but ok other than that lol
on the other hand the relocation kit will lose you torque, even more than you would loose on a normal open induction kit.
might not...
hehe its always the same as soon as its in and your used to power ull kick yourself for not doing headwork!
should be awesome when its running mate, what you doing exhaust wise?

first thing id do is get rid of they kumho ditch finder tyres lol i nearly wrapped my 1.2 16v about 20 times when i had them on! they are dangerous in the wet! lol
other than that just needs slammed and it will look mint!
insperation for you!! my old car.....
lol not really worth the hastle of being car-less and traveling if im not getting a decent power gain, looks like its into renault for cambelt, ohh the joys
best going for custom on the 1.2 16v, i had a powerflow twin 3" on mine and it was awesome, was really loud and poppy especially when decated but you could get one that was just above standard.
make sure if you use a custom place you find a decent dealer though as some are s**t some are good...
