Ive got an ITG from zorbas group buy. Hell know the retail - I cant remember.
Its really improved the car alot but its not made a massive difference to sound and performance.
The car really just ticks over better and its torque feels a little stronger. Also its not as annoyingly jerky when the engine is cold. Generally the engine in just breathing better.
If you want sound youre gonna have to get an I/K I reckon.
Yeah. Been doing a bit of research and your spot on - dont want to go with an IK because of warranty etc, etc. So may well just invest in an ITG panel and a CD of engine noises!

An IK wont affect the warrenty unless theres a problem with the air system (so to speak)
Depends on the dealer though.

ITG all the way, Ive found in 4th mine has a nice roar but nothing like an IK

Maybe its different on the 182 because of the different exhust but I cant say ive noticed a massive difference on the 172. A little bit maybe.

Got one from Zorba myself. Didnt quite fit snuggly as I had hoped, but after I trimmed a few of the rubber edges down, it was ok.
Id agree with Adam - it feels smoother overall throughout the rev range. Also, I immediately got 1mpg more on the dash display. Could be coincidence with the engine freeing-up though... That alone will justify the cost over a few months...
No noticable noise difference. Though I got my car in December so the windows were always up, so I couldnt really hear it breathe. One of the best sounding ones Ive heard was The Docs 172 - sounded very whistlely.

Cheers guys ITG it will be then.

Try the for sale section. I think 182blue was selling one.
I fitted my ITG 2 weeks after having my 182.Where can you get these new?
Try http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/ thats whwer we got the group buy from. K-tec are quite expensive.
Best to call them cause the website is pants!

Tom as the others have already said ITG i great!
they are good for 20k+ miles and the main gains are the revs are better and the MPG. Not so much the sound. my MPG is 36.5 on average
panel filters are for people that want gains but dont want to put a wopping great IK which the insurance companies hate. the clio MK2 infact has a good airintake so there is no real need for IK. but its a personal choice.
it will also save you a packet when you take the car in for a service. Renault will fleese you for a panel filter which they change i think every 12 k.
when you remove the renualt panel filter you will see that all it is, is yellow posted notes stuck together.....LOL

Im always worried that renault will take out the ITG and throw it in the bin when they service the car!
Im only taking my Cup to Renault once this November because of the warrenty but I get my uncle to do everything else. Oil changes,etc

I got myself a Green Cotton panel filter, and Im very pleased with it.
All down to personal choice I suppose...
I got a nice discount and nxt day delivery from Demon Tweeks.

Anyone tried a http://www.ramair-filters.com/cgi-bin/byfilter/byfilter.cgi?filter=Tauschfilter&file=replacement_table.htmlRamAir panel filter?
A guy at work told me they are the best air filters you can buy.
They are really easy to fit... few screws and a direct replacment. Think retail is about £45.
I am really please with the ITG I got with Zorbas group buy...
I have also kept the original Renault filter to put back in when the car goes in for a service, the ITG also comes with a sticker that says "Performace filter fitted, dont throw away" or something like that.

Why would you put the original one back in for the service? Do you not trust them to leave it alone?
