Correct exhaust sleeve!!!

[182Matthew]

Hi guys,
On monday evening on my way to work my exhaust decided it no longer wanted to be an exhaust anymore and came apart straight after the cat. On closer inspection it appears that the small joint between the centre section and the cat has vanished (clamps included). Ive had the car to two local exhaust specialists, 1 did not have the part needed and the other tried to persuade me into spending £100 on a "custom" decat pipe. Im not tight just trying to get my other car back on the road and use the clio as a daily. As said the car still has the cat and has a ktec cat back which i believe is a 2.5" ID pipe. If someone could point me in the right direction for the correct joint it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Matty

Is it just the olive joint or has it been sleeved?

If it's the olive joint, you'll need one of these http://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/renault-clio-range/exhaust-clamp-centre/

If it's sleeved, you'll need one of these https://www.eurocarparts.com/search...MIsbDq8MqO1wIV4zLTCh1LaQXaEAQYASABEgIXv_D_BwE. Don't know if that's the right size, it was just the first link on Google.

Cheers bud, they are the clamps that i need yes however, i need the joint between the centre pipe and the cat as the cat is a olive joint and the centre pipe is sleeved. Ive attached a image below of the joint needed i just cant find one the correct size.

Just looks like it needs butting up and the clamp fitting as above? Or am I missing something?

The picture that i have attached is from our friend google. I have circled the the part of the exhaust i need, you can see how the centre section has the slots cut in, the piece i need that i have highlighted and then the cat. This is what i need but none of the sizes match up.

This wouldn't just 'fall' off though? These are usually a part of the centre section.

Yeah as Louis said that flared end should be part of the exhaust and shouldn't just fall off. Unless the exhaust was sleeved onto a decat and that was added to refit the original catalyst. You may be best going to an exhaust place and letting them sort it out.
