182 Catalyst Replacement

[GlasgowClio]

Hi there,

My 182 needs a new cat and my local Renault dealer is quoting the well-known, but still extraordinary, price for a replacement - two and a half grand!! :S

Any suggestions for a good quality alternative that I can afford without having to resort to selling my house/armed robbery to pay for it would be much appreciated. Any of the Sports Cats out there worth a look?

Many thanks for any thoughts, good people, I'm still sitting down with a cup of very sugary tea after taking the call from the garage!

Thanks for that, Will and Matt - good to see there are some far more affordable options out there!

Cheers, Dan - yes that looks like a good way to go to get a bit of a performance increase too.

that post should have had an "if" at the start, LOL, stupid laptop keeps losing words.

I wouldn't expect gains from it, but the original is a high flow cat, so don't replace it with a cheap one
