The 182 stock manifold s already really good as it is, just get a decat pipe and you'll be fine.

+1 iirc the 182 manifold was already different from the 172 as well as the exhaust system. So buy a decat if you want and save £££'s

exactly, Supposedly that s how Renault got some extra bhp out of the 182.

These threads are coming up far to often!

M4d m4x has one on his car , not sure if it made a difference !

 

[ben_r1]

Just paying for the bling.

K ill ask him ") just fancied getting one and then a cat back yozza

 

[stephen chadwick]

the 182 manifold is already a 4-2-1 so there wouldn't be a point and at least with a Renault manifold you know that the exhaust you but will fit unlike with an 'aftermarket' item

I seem to remember someone commenting on these about poor welds and cracking, but I can't confirm

I read this to, very poor quality!

 

[Nick r26r]

i did comment on them once , the xs power stuff used to have crap welds and cracked, mainly on turbo applications as it got so hot ! would of thouht it would of been fine on a clio though , you cant really improve on the 182 manifold , hence why there are next to none out there (after market ones)

182's are even more under powered than 172's Likewise 197's are even more underpowered than 182's, unsure on 200's as im yet to see any on the same rollers that we have had 20+ 182's/172's on.

We had a rr day where a couple of stardish cups made 170bhp, my standardish 182 made 175bhp. So pretty standard results. The 200 that came made 180bhp!

It hadn't done that many miles tbf, just a few k.

 

[Greeny.]

Ye, so the 182's are more underpowered that 172's then Lol at the 200's result, we had 2 standard 197's make just under 180bhp.

I made 174 at ours, very happy with that

lol, I wasn't disputing that the 182's are more underpowered just showing what a 200 made in comparison, although non cup 172's made much less than the cups.

Ye I was surprised by my result actually being a non cup, 172 cups are normally better I agree, I can only assume this is down to the lack of aircon.

Seen 2 silver cups with AC make over 182, both standard and both on days when 172's were making 170

Go away Dan, I was happy stating 182's are crap

 

[Dan519]

read it again

silver 172 cups making in excess of 182bhp

OH, rofl. fml :S

Damn cups.
