Clio 200 rs 2011 exhaust manifold.

[mike-spinx]

Need some help with finding a good after market exhaust manifold for my RS200 mk3 2011.
It has blown on the flexi part of the manifold, my garage seem to be struggling with finding a part to fit.
Has any body got any recommendations for a
Direct Replacement.
Thank you in advance,
Michael

Ktec sell replacement flexis, I ordered a set for a customers car as it saved me the hassle of getting it in a ramp first to measure etc

Oh ok thank you, are they easy to fit?

Easy once the manifold is off if you can weld!

Cool, only ask as my garage mentioned about cutting out and welding a new flexi in. But they said as the sub frame has to be removed to gain access you might as well fit a new manifold.
I can Tig weld but not sure if getting the sub frame off is beyond me at home.
Thanks again

So what is the minimum you need to do to install a new Gravity Performance manifold including the flexi joint ?

The minimum what?

The minimum what?

Amount of work to remove and replace the manifold. I have heard that you possibly need to drop the subframe and/or engine, to be able to remove and install a manifold.

 

[RSRowe]

Yes. The subframe needs dropping for more access.

 

[roderick]

Yes. The subframe needs dropping for more access.

Thanks for that. How involved a job is that?

It’s not too bad. Maybe a dozen fastenings or so, but they’re big and quite tight. You’d need a big breaker bar.

The annoyance is technically you should then get the car aligned afterwards.
