Went to look at a Clio 197 for the other half today.
Overall it seemed pretty tidy - high number of owners but it seems to have been serviced at main dealers it's whole life, including the cambelt 2 years, 7k miles ago.
There were two issues that bugged me, though.
1. The exhaust seemed to...
Hi can any one give me some advice on what exhaust system to buy?! Theres soooo many to pick from...
What a decat pipe fail an MOT? Would a sport cat back fail? Whats best price and best full exhaust system that would pass MOT and sound banging? Thanks
Just acquired myself an 04' 182 with Milltek catback, and was looking to knock the resonator out and also fit a decat.
After that, I fancied having that map that pops after 4.5k revs. Is there any way to get such a thing in Central Scotland without having to drive down to that place in Southmost...
Sports stainless steel exhaust or the ultra performance for 182?
Anybody got any of these systems installed that can shed some light on their thoughts?
Hi Guys,
I've got two heads here, a Ph1 172 with the big exhaust ports and a head from a 172 cup with the smaller ports. Is there any real advantage in torque or HP to using the Ph1 cylinder head?
Engine will be fitted with Cat Cam 421's and Jenvey ITB's.
Regards,
Mike
Ive got some new exhaust mounts on the way and want to try to make them last a little longer.
Is this the stuff to use to fill them with:

Can anyone recommend a good exhaust place? I've sent 3 emails around to 3 various companies in Norfolk that I could find on google, but I'm sure there must be more!
This may be a bit of a stupid question but does a 172 exhaust system fit my 172 cup? I'm a bit of a r****d at search engines and I never find the right answer so I thought. just ask here and I might get a good answer so any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
Hey guys, i accidentally knocked the exhaust backbox whilst poking around underneath looking for a jacking point to fit my rear springs, in the end i used a large bar, but ever since then i've had an extreme exhaust rattle on idle/tickover, my idle is lumpy as on idle which probably exaggerates...
Evening,
Im needing to replace the handbrake cables on my cup, got as far as attempting to remove the centre section heat shield only to be confronted with what I assume used to be torx bolts/ screws. They are covered in rust and whoever last put them on has rounded all of them.
What's my best...
Can anyone recommend a subtle exhaust for my Clio that's cheap too? I don't want loud or big even, just something that gives a nice sound when you put your foot down. I hate a droaning exhaust!
Cheers
Had a new engine fitted. Now they is steam from the back of the engine. I think it's coming from the exhaust man but my friend said it could be that the engine was on it's side and it's burning oil. I can smell burning. This is just on idle, I am yet to even test drive the car as the gearbox oil...
Anyone know what this part is? It's been kicking about for a while and know it's the in between pipe.
Is it a genuine Renault MK2 Cup racer part? Sorry I'm a mk3 man so a little clueless on the 2s.
Iv got a ktec reccesed exhaust cat back fitted on my newly purchased phase 1 , in good condition . Don't really want this exhaust on the car , just wondering if any one has a hidden/ stealth exhaust they'd wanna swap or do a deal with . Open to suggestions
I replaced the two last weekend, but I'm sure iirc correctly the decat join was different to the OE part I had previously installed. Could someone possibly give me a link/part number for the direct replacement for both clamps/joins?
Cheers.
Hi everyone,
My 182 needs a new exhaust system....dunno if I should replace it with a OEM Renault or something else?
The car is pretty standard/ v low mileage, I'd like to keep it like that but if there's anything better... not anything loud/chavvy!
I recently replaced my power flow exhaust for a much nicer and quieter Sportex exhaust, I've noticed there's a rattle when I accelerate and it sounds like it's coming from under the gear box, I've looked under the car and can see it's coming from the exhaust, I just can't work out what it could...
As titled. Anyone able to offer any words of wisdom? No centrebox if that helps.
Too loud for me...but no idea what to advertise it as when I get shot!
Cheers all!
Hi all,
Im looking for some help identifying what exhaust I have on my 172. It is a complete cat-back system, all stainless steel and has twin exit pipes at the rear. I have looked for some kind of branding/stamp but have had no luck whatsoever. I have attached a couple of pictures below...
What's the best exhaust joint?
I currently have a blowing Sleve joint I'm thinking of changing to maybe a v band but I'm unsure.
Ideas? Experiences?
Or should I stick with Sleve and whack done paste on there?

Does anyone know?
I assume the measurements must be the same so will it be a straight swap?
Thanks for any help
Hi. I have a 182. It has a big hole in the passenger side silencer where the bracket was welded to it where it broke off. I thought about getting a patch welded over it and new bracket fabricating but now i'm thinking of just replacing the exhaust instead but am a bit stuck on what to choose. I...
Hey all.. Just yesterday I got the most bizarre noise from the car, it sounded like a vibration and only did this from 2 - 2 half thousand revs and only when driving. Now today it sounds like it's blowing and coming from centre section.
My question is what do I replace it with?
I am going to get...
Just had a call from the garage to say that I have a crack/split in the centre box and will need a new one plus some sort of sleeve.....being at a Renault dealer means they want just under £380 for all parts and labour.
Should I just invest in an aftermarket cat back system instead for around...
Hi all,
Any recommendations for a quiet(ish) exhaust for a 182, as close to standard noise levels as possible whilst also being stainless?
Currently have a Piper cat-back fitted and whilst it sounds great on the open road it's a bit tedious whilst commuting to work. Going from 0-5mph whilst...
I picked up my 172 Cup last week and it came with a Cobra twin tail pipe cat back exhaust system, but its not really my thing.
I'm looking at getting a K-Tec Stealth system, but what is the difference in noise levels between the sport and supersport?
Any other recommendations welcome for a...
