Judging by the noise it makes when its cooling Id guess its not S/S as that doesnt do that.

Looks like a SS replacement will be on the cards for me then.

I belive it is.

However staninless steel can still corrode it depends on grade etc used.

cheers guys

i heard it was but wasnt sure and mine makes the same noise when cooling as my 1.2 16v with s/s zorst did

Well its made out of the same stuff as the 172 exhaust is. (apart from the exit pipes)

I that defo is not Stainless steel. Its the most rubbish quility of steel ive seen, which makes a really annoying noise when it heats up and cools down.

Try a magnet on the exhaust.... it wont stick to stainless... I believe only the very end tail pipe is stainless on most of renaults cars.

not stainless steel but maybe a better quality than say mild steel. they seem to resist corrosion pretty well apart from the weld points.

is there any aftermarket zorsts for 182 yet that have twin exit etc?
