Exhaust System

[richardhold]

Hi everyone,this is my first post and I am in need of your expertise,I am the owner of a 172cup which I have owned since new(2003) ,unfortunately the exhaust system is now in need of replacement and I can now no longer purchase a standard Renault system.
Which leads me on to a stainless exhaust but my concerns are that it will sound to load,what would you recommend!!

It's done well to last this long to be fair, but I don't think there's a ton of off the shelf options that won't be louder than standard, depends how much you want to spend of course, but having a custom exhaust made up in the same diameter as standard is probably the best option.
Other option is a cheap pattern exhaust, will be mild steel so it'll rust, but that's no different than the standard system I suppose.

I've got a twin resonated Piper exhaust and it's quieter than a stock one and only gets loud if you're flooring it.

Thank you for the reply ,the exhaust is a little like triggers broom ,it’s had several back box’s and middle sections ,but never the cat replaced,due to the fact its now given up the ghost and the fact that standard Renault exhaust aren’t available I need another option, just don’t want it to sound like a boy racer.

You can't go wrong with a Piper system tbh, I've got 1 on my 172 Cup and it's very good quality

I've had a resonated Piper stealth on mine since 2007 and it's still shiny and working perfectly.

Bare in mind whatever stainless system you get it will be extremely loud until it soots up, first time I drove mine with the Piper it gave me temporary tinnitus, took a while to quiet down.

I had one of those hoffman's exhausts before, very cheap it lasted about 3 years then the mid pipe rusted through and snapped. I bought another and it lasted less than 6months, the rear hanger snapped off the backbox. After that I decided to get the stainless Piper one.

I’ve got the KTR Sport Centre Line and it’s quite droney, and it’s the one with the resonator. Have seen the Milltek recommended by others on this site.
