Not mine but any opinions, one Lambda hole, will this fit a Phase2 2002 172?
Any idea on manufactuer?

That looks like a custom decat to fit a 172 with a 182 manifold to me, although further down the add he says it's
for a PH1.

I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN INFORMED THAT THIS PIPE IS MADE FOR A PHASE 1 CLIO which is the 2000 - 2002 172's - 182's. So still the mk 2 clios.

This is because it only has 1 lamba sensor fitted and not 2 but if wanted can be easily adjusted.

What happened to your LY R27?

Hello, that's long gone mate, had to sell due to it being a cash for car and they didn't like me turning up in it for meetings, lol.
Spoke to this guy, said he ran it on his 2002 172, confused due to it only having one Lambda.

 

[DaveDreads]

I'm guessing he didn't know his car had a 182 manni,
it has has a lambda in it and the other one's in the cat.

I've not lived in Notts for a couple of years mate, bit out of touch with the East Mids scene,
shame about your car mate was lovely, bit of a step down to a 172 isn't it?

I like the 172's rawness, mine has no PAS.
I had a FN2 Type R after the R27, a Cupra Ibiza, a 182 with Recaros and then a Suzuki Ignis Sport before picking up this 172.
What is the difference between the 172/182 manifold?

 

[DaveDreads]

182 manifold is a 4-2-1 and is much longer with a lambda and the other in the cat,
and a 172 manifold is a 4-1 and is shorter with both lambdas in the cat.

Heres a pic with them both next to each other.


The thing is a 182 decat wont fit a 172 with a 182 manni due to the 172 exhaust being different,
that's why people either cut down their existing cat or buy a K-Tec cat made for 172s with 182 manifolds.
