197 Exhaust on a 172?

[JaredHasNoBrain]

As the title says, Just wondering if you could fit a 197 exhaust to a 172 non cup?
Havent seen many had this before.

Thanks

My question would be why?

Yes it would be do-able but i can't see a single reason for doing it

 

[Adam.]

No.

well mine has a stock exhaust so its no full exit out the back, and want to see what it would be like.

one says yes, one says no.

It wouldn't be a simple bolt on job of course, but at the end of the day it's just some bits of metal pipework so easy enough to chop about and make it fit eventually.

You do realise that the std 197 exhaust tips are black and hidden don't you? the only properly visible ones have had tailpipes added on (RS do there own but they look awful)

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Fair enough, Yeah I know just wanted to say 197 as the style
just wanted to know out of being... well me

I think there is a wheel well in the way.

I'm sure I saw a custom exhaust on a 172 before which was twin pipe. But either end of bumper. Looked alright.
Think it was on a flame red 172.

if they arent clean, yes

also them pics just show how much better it is than that stupid blingy 200 effort....

If you really wanted that style of system then go custom. Fitting a proper 197 exhaust would be a nightmare, the backbox is huge and would need the wheel well removed and you'd probably be able to see loads of it under the bumper.

 

[Flat Eric]

I think he means custom. But 197 style. Twin exit, either end of bumper instead of how 182's are central.

 

[syko6288]

I would go custom made jobby as it would be

Stainless
Specific sound to how you want it
Built around wheel well

Wait and see at CSS il be using 200 exhaust and diffuser on my 172 just because I want too. If you want to do it do it but it expensive if you want to do it properly..

Yeah ive seen this too. Looks good actually. But imo, that style exhaust is for the mk3. Looks 'chavy' on a mk2

[Knuckles]

[Tyler@Ultimate]

[richd]

[The Fatty]

+1.

 

[aucky]

Like it.

 

[Westlee]

Where would one go about getting such a setup?

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Didn't realise this has this many comments lol, but yeah thats how I pictured it!
IMO I think that looks epic lol
Bit rare but suits it quite well

 

[Wick]

I like.

 

[Bobby.]

I like it just because it looks to have a proper diffuser lol.

Do it yourself, or a trusted bodyshop I guess

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Where would you find the rear diffuser? or would the one from a 197/200 fit a 1*2?

 

[Carbonraider]

Parts I'm using are :

182 boot floor panel to make it look o.e.m, clio 3 RS diffuser and the ktec system for the 200.

At the end of the day mine will be used on track so il give mine ago myself but if you want it sh*t hot a body shop can do anything..

So the Clio 3 RS diffuser fits a 1*2 ?

No. You cut it into the rear mk2 bumber then smooth it over with plenty of fiberglass.

Not a 2 minute job.

 

[Carbonraider]

It won't just bolt on there is a lot of work to make it fit but it's possible.. For example boot floor, rear brackets, cut and mod bumper, and the find away to attach it to bumper or like I'm doing have it on Zeus clips..

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Thats alot of work.

 

[Knuckles]

Search jaff. On here, he fitted a 197 diffuser to his megane

 

[Jekyll]

I'm pretty sure that someone did one on a 172 cup.

I like the look of that rb182 with rear diffuser.

 

[Sam]

Does anyone know who's the RB 182 is?

I want to see some better pics.
