exhausts for 182
- Thread starter jay-clio182
- Start date
dont they do 2 systems?
one which is right on borderline of 96odd db, and one that is over?
Which is not ideal on all UK circuit's, as some have very strict sound ruling (IE Castle Coombe, Goodwood)
So rather than have to be cautious on the throttle or let off at the sound testers, with ours its not an issue.
Fair enough, was not too sure about the supersprint. Never seen one in the flesh, but looks a decent bit of kit.

Thats not the case at all.
These threads get started, and they usually end up coming down to the above systems as people ask for whats the 'best'.
As for being not worthy, again not the case. Those that want a system that looks and sound better than the standard system buy a miltek, magnex etc.
Those that want performance gain buy BTB, orbisound.
Those that are brain washed by fred by YS
Milltek'd 182
i think there needs to be a comparison thread. maybe with pics/vids of all the systems (either all with or all without a decat) and made a sticky. and anyone who has RR'd before and after should also post that up. personally i think the gains between having a milltek, YS, BTB would be minimal as they are all improvements over an already good standard system (for gas flow).
Why havent you bought a BTB yet then?
I know BenR is meant to be producing a system, but surely you dont think he knows more about exhaust manufacture than experts like BTB?
(please note this is not a dig or salgging benr off! just a question)
in a n ideal world we could get one car, test it as standard, then in turn test it with each system.
but unfortuantly its unlikely to happen.
We have posted graphs before, which show a clear increase in power and torque across the rev range, but no one else seems to be able to provide anything! Manufactures or 3rd parties!

should be recieving my milltek tomorrow, have you got the decat to go with it mate?
if so whats it like...
just stating fact my friend.
I am not overly bothered if people buy BTB, orbisound etc, just as long as people are educated enough to know what they are getting if they pay 300 or 500 quid for an exhaust.
I will say no more!!!

didnt get the decat i'm afraid but definately thinking bout it before the remap.... thing is though i'm proper afraid of getting involved in big smash (one where the police really look at your car and find no cat which would really screw your insurance) i am that unlucky!.....might wussy out an go for a sports cat though......proper losing sleep over the issue. Exhaust sounded ok ish when i got it but 2K later and its sounding better and more like the car in the milltek video clip

i'm a brilliant driver incidently like all clio drivers LOL....just people have the habit of running into ME! and just dont really want to explain to someone in court why i'm running a car ilegally if it should ever happen. I luv clio's dont get me wrong but if your in the quest for more power decatting a car will only get you what? 10bhp maybe with the remap. Its just not worth the risk just buy a faster car as standard an stay legal....... there i've said it.... gonna go out an razz my car about now cuz i feel dirty! LOL sports cat it is then after that rant then. ... so much personallity in the clio though i think everyone will agree?
you dont get much by de-catting the 182, as the standard cat is a pretty high flow item anyway.

If you inform your insurance company surely you'd be ok ? I didn't realise it was illegal to run a decat anyway, only the issue of perhaps failing the mot test

if your car doesnt pass an M.O.T then the insurance is void, if you take out the cat after the M.O.T then your still breaking the law because you know it wouldnt pass by doing it. Decated cars should only be used on a race track in the eyes of law. A lot of people do it and get away so its up to the individual i guess (do you feel lucky) and yeah the sport cat has less cells but you onlt get 5bhp or something similar (i'm no expert on this) it'd still make a difference on my remap though

Theres been threads on decats in the past, I thought the law only states you need one to pass the mot, doesnt actually say you need one to drive the car on public roads or to insure your car, Im curious about this, anyone else got any info ? If theres any doubts then tbh I can't be bothered risking getting one since i wont be tracking it anway

just phoned a few people an i'm definately definately correct its illegal to run a car without a cat on public roads so there you have it. thing is you never get stopped and checked but it does happen..... all depends on how much of a boy racer you are but in a serious smash your insurance company will do anything to get out of paying up and not having a cat is thier ticket out, i'm 33yrs old an still pay £500 (got an accident against me still) so i want my money's worth. As i've quoted before.. the choice is yours. Reet got to sign off now because i got to go to work an earn some dollar for my mods

It's a different sound. Mine is more rattling and sharp and very booming between 2.5 and 4 k
If you like a deep sound, this one is not good. It sounds rubbish, but I like that.
Much better than my Janspeed and better then my Milltek, but to loud for the lady. And she rules

Yeah that's definitely a raspy sounding exhaust! lol. Hope my supersprint doesn't sound like that :S
lol, well it must be correct then!
You are actually wrong, there is no part of the MOT that specifically says a cat must be present on a vehicle. Car's from about 1992 are fitted with them as it became a requirement for the manufacturer to fit them. The only criteria you need to meet is emissions to pass the MOT and therefore be road legal. Some newer cars will pass without them some wont so you cannot catagorically state having a decat will make the car illegal.
Oh and if you dont beleive me about the cat check being part of an MOT phone VOSA rather than "a few people".
Yes it's highly likely a decat will make the car illegal due to emissions but as i said it's not a given. The point I was making is there is nothing that says you legally have to have a cat fitted to your car. It has to be fitted legally at manufacture but there is no physical check for a cat after that point, it's purely an emissions check.
Milltek'd 182
oh right. i understand now. so in essence the police can't actually prosecute for the fact you dont have a de-cat, but can if you fail an emissions test?
also does that mean if you were to crash with a de-cat, the insurance would still be valid along with the mot. assuming the engine was buggered and they couldn't perform a test?!
