Broken Manifold

[Sasso]

Hey guys,
I relatively new to this whole Clio scene. I recently bought a 2010 Clio Sport and as the title may suggest, I now have to deal with a broken manifold. This is according to the dealer, I dropped it off for a service and for them to check the funny sound.
Obviously dealer wants to charge me more than I can make in a year.
Could you guys point in the right direction to which aftermarket manifolds are good out there?

Also a pretty random question and yes I'm going to sound dumb.
I'm really not sure which spec my Clio falls under. I know it's the MK3 but not sure on the power figures and all.
I've done my research but I still can't narrow it down. Can you guys help with that maybe?

Thanks

@Knuckles is the Mk3 man around here. He has one in the same colour as yours too!

I'm sure an exhaust specialist will be able to repair it, rather than replace.

Thanks for the info.
I live in Dubai, so it's a bit hard to find an exhaust specialist around here, or even a Renault specialist.
My best guess would be to buy the part and have a mechanic I trust (hard to find too) fit it.
I'm still going back and forth with the dealer, the car barely has 70,000km on it, I'm a bit surprised and annoyed that such a part would fail so early due to, and I quote, "wear and tear".
Is this a common occurrence?

Thanks

Funny you mention the manifold. I found this last night which I think is a decent price

Id just buy this, get yours repaired and sell on. Or just sell on for repair

Ah, just saw where you are. That may be a problem. Also, manifolds going is common on these sadly

You have a liquid yellow Clio renaultsport 200 with an optional gt spoiler

This will help you with the interior options

Thanks for the info! Really appreciate it.
Yea, I was looking at some parts on Ebay as well. Will most likely end up with that option.
We'll see how this unfolds.

And thank you guys for the warm and helpful welcome, even though I am half way across the world, I very excited to join the community!
