Clio 172 cat same as 182 cat

[RIC172]

Hi all,
Is the cat section on the 172 the same as on the 182? Mine is a 172 cup

 

[Budgie]

Nope.

Ph1 cat looks like top below, Ph2 172 is the bottom one:

182 manifold is longer, cat looks like this:

Am I right in thinking the 172 cat is more restrictive so would benefit more from a decat?

Yep, I've read that too that the 172 cats are more restrictive.

182 cats are 200 cell, not sure what the 172s are though.

I was considering a decat pipe with silencer but I assume it'll be pretty loud and a warning light will come on my dashboard so I think I will avoid buying one unfortunately

I wouldn't worry about the light but yeh it will be loud as hell lol.

My ktec stealth does my head in with the cat in so I woudnlt like to think how loud it would be with a decat.

Oh god really? I will definitely avoid then. I was considering the Ktec stealth sports catback - is that the one you've got or the supersports? My standard 172 cup makes enough noise as it is 😂

Yeah it's terrible.

Mines the unsilenced version though. I think the one with a centre section will be much more friendly

That's good then as I just bought the silenced stealth with silenced mid section (cat is being retained)
