All the websites on MOT info say £50.35 which is what I was charged? :S
How much do Renault charge roughly for an exhaust??

Where did you take it in the end Karen?
Ta but I can't see it :S
RSR in Croydon in the end, just off the Purley Way (RSR in Sutton had fitted the tyres I got last year from mytyres and they seemed fairly ok), plus I had a lot on today and just needed to go somewhere fairly close.

My exhaust went ages ago, it'd fail for the cat (come June when mines due) which also corrodes badly if it weren't for my local friendly MOT man :quiet:
No point getting a renault exhaust as they hold water and it'll just happen again. 24k I think was the magic number for me.
Stainless steel aftermarket exhaust is cheaper than a new Renault one anyway.
A lot of 182's are failing on emissions now they're hitting 3 years old.

I had mine done the other day passed with flying colours, although I was a bit worried about this cat issue that few seem to have had!!
I'm on just under 27k so I guess not bad for the exhaust?
I'm not sure how long mine will hold out for, I guess it's not too bad or it would have failed it. Not sure what to do *sigh* Put a nice new stainless steel one on the mortgage I guess!
I've got the emissions print out but cant make sense of it!
Ah cool, good to know, it was a bit "manly" in there but the guys were cool in both branches.
You have just reminded me I need to get AA or RAC cover!

Tough call, Karen. I'd prefer to stick with an original Reno replacement, but as others have said, aftermarket ones are supposedly cheaper.
If anything, the 182 is really, really muted with it's exhaust note. The choice of having something a bit louder would be nice, I suppose?

I have sort of wanted something a bit bigger and slightly louder I admit lol - I just couldnt justify the expense before but now I have no choice - why do Renault charge so much though for a bog standard one :S

Captive market, I guess?
I'm 'hoping' that the 18 miles each-way I do going to work will heat the exhaust enough to reduce the risk of corrosion. Then again, that's applying logic to a Reno part. Since when did that ever work?

Ah so would mine be more susceptible to corrosion as I don't use the car often?
I hadn't seen the thread, did a quick scan yesterday so maybe missed it.
What are considered the best exhausts these days??
If anyone has any prices, would be grateful to know what sort of cost I'm looking at

Possibly? It by no means a hard-and-fast rule, but a quick tootle about in your car and switching the engine off, wouldn't give it enough time to build up sufficient heat.
The heat, in theory, should evaporate any unburnt deposits left in the system when you switch off.
I could however, be talking pure kack!

The lambda sensor (exhaust gas oxygen sensor) balances the fuel mixture, a forcked one will cause the car to run rich/lean, so = MOT fail
Ah thanks
I'm in South London/Surrey. Yep sure to be but from what others are saying a Renault one may not be the best option?
No i said specialist, ktec, angelworks,yozza,rentech etc, not the monkeys that work in the dealerships.
Someone that will fit and supply a quality stainless cheaper than any REnault standard jobby.
Oh ok, didnt get what you meant lol.
