exhaust

[tombeck]

i run a 2001 172 and have a tinny sound, almost rattly/vibrating coming from the centre exhaust somewhere. renault quoted me 275 quid to replace the centre section as they said there was a hairline crack near the cat. a second garage couldn t find any leak or crack . i ve been thinking about a slight upgrade to a better system . was just wondering if anyone else had experienced any similar problems or could recommend a decent system. cheers

had quite a few problems with the centre sections on the 172 and the price of them is unbelievable. for the same price you could get a aftermarket stainless steel job for the same money. ive got the magnex and im pleased enough with it.

cheers

£330 for the cat back system(although there has been a few cheaper deals about at the moment). ive got the 6*4 oval tailpipe.

A rattle that happens at 4000 RPM

When you do 4000 revs the mid section of the exhaust vibrates making an irritating buzz....its the bafflers that have come loose, very very common in 172s. If your car is less than a year old then warranty will cover it, if not its cheaper to get a performance zorst as the problem tends to reoccur.

Renault will charge anything from £180 to £500 depending on the age of the car.
