clio 172 cup

[Gary172cup]

hi all just a quick one,ive been ofered a de-cat pipe for my clio 172 cup 03 reg,i allready have a cat back stainless system which gives off quite a bit of noise,(more so a drone at motorway speeds),would i get any power gains from adding the de-cat ? also problems with management lights ? and what about noise dont want it sounding like ive fitted a bean can and rasping away thanks gaz

 

[coatesy]

wil be really loud,about 6bhp gain and ya sensor light will stay on

 

[SBV116]

You will hardly get f**k all power advantage, the sensor light MAY come on, mine has been on 30000 miles with no light, it will be louder, try it and see!!!

 

[Gary172cup]

mmm,sounds like i mite just leave it then,do u know if all clios give off a drone sort of noise at motorway speeds with stainless systems fitted ? mine starting to irratate me a bit the make is blueflame

 

[Fred@BTM]

you will get a power gain 100% definate

 

[B16DOE]

what fred said

 

[Fred@BTM]

you will also get a fair bit more noise too

 

[Gary172cup]

thanks for info guys if its the right price i may be tempted ha. what a great site !!!

LOL at 6bhp.

I've had a decat on mine for the last 70k miles or so, and I've still got no emissions warning light showing.

Something to do with the 172 Cup engines - quite a few have decats and show no lights - don't think anyone really understands why though.

 

[Fred@BTM]

magic!

 

[MarkCup]

That's it.

Genius.

 

[franx]

sorry for hogging your thread ; does the decat also give a nice difference in comparison to my sportscat ?

 

[Day]

You don't have to take the sports cat off every 12 months in the UK, compromise

 

[Pinny]

Are sports cats (janspeed) worth the £250 price tag?

 

[Beef-Mc]

182 already has a sports cat on it IIRC.

errrr no .

 

[Beef-Mc]

Thought it had a 200 cell something or other?

yep something like that , its a better cat than the 172 , less restrictive but wouldn't really say its a sports cat though .

i wouldn't exactly call it a 'sports' cat
but it is pretty free flowing... not a free flowing as a hollow 2 1/2" pipe tho!

 

[Beef-Mc]

Ah well, learn something new every day

 

[kully]

^^^^too slow :rasp:
