good job ive got ramps haha

normally its just a simple unbolt the bolts and off it comes but dont you have to move something on the clio?

It's just like for like replacement if your still using the standard 172 manifold.

The old pipe unbolts (if it's rusted, grind it off) and then refit with new bolts if possible as they rust.
A manifold to cat section fitting kit can be bought from renault or ktec and i would recommend it if your bolts are corroded.
