182 exhaust manifold to fit 172



  M3 clio 172 205 GTI6
As title, fitting a 182 exhaust manifold to my 172. What I need to know is what do I need to fit between the manifold and rest of the exhaust system. I'm looking to fit a ktec stealth system at some point and may be open to a decat suggestions. Just curious to see what other people have fitted. Thanks in advance

  A special one.
Yeah I have the ktec de-cat pipe.
You could buy a sport's cat but they are expensive.

Ah, you managed to get the 172 cat to fit? Is that without any mods/cutting? That'll help with the mot! Ok, so ktec link pipe is the way forward. Cool, thanks

Needs cutting and welding to make it fit, handy to have come mot time.

+1

I used a k-tec decat pipe as a template, then cut the old cat up and re-welded it to fit.

now I can switch from cat to decat / decat to cat quick and easy!

It's worth bearing in mind that in less you modify the cat, fit a sports cat or have a friendly mot guy you will have a absolute mother ****er of a job once a year. Swapping between mani's and fitting and removing 172 cat ain't fun lol.

manifold was a 3 hour job on the driveway.
at least with the 182 manifold, cat swaps are quick and easy.

Cat change on a 172 mani is horrible. If he doesn't get a cat to fit the 182 manifold he will need to change the mani to be able to have a cat in place come mot time.
