182/172 manifold+cat

[howie p]

is the length of the 172 manifold+cat the same as the 182 manifold + cat.

i know the 182 manifold is longer than the 172 (i think)

but the 172 cat is longer than the 182 (i think)

ie. could i swap a 172 manifold+cat for the 182 manifold+cat

 

[Big Iain]

not 100% but I remember it being different

 

[howie p]

i know u cant just swap manifolds

wondering about a manifold and cat....

 

[clioman]

i have heard the 182 manifold is the better of the two. One of the best around at the mo.

yes the 182 manifold is the best you can get (without spending £thousands)

one of the best things Renault have ever made!!!

its around 10hours labour to fit the manifold

 

[Fred@BTM]

your "CAT" back exhaust will have to be extended to fit
