fitting a piper?

[Adam_vxR]

hi people, just another question about the piper exhaust :s, im going to purchase one this week as heard its a very good made exhaust, only problem is ive been reading up about it and its came up with ** To fit this to the renault clio 182 the standard olive join on the cat will need to be removed as the piper centre pipe is an improved sleeve fitment**

this is the same exhaust im going to go for

i want an exhaust i can put straight on with out arsing about with cutting ect lol, will this just clamp onto the standard cat or have i got to start cutting into the exhaust somewhere as im not to sure what they mean by removing the olive? cheers Adam

simple solution, come and have it fitted

Mine came with a sleeve which slips into the centre part and fits the cat fine

Made this for Alex's car

i would get it fitted but money is abit tight atm , just abit confused on how to fit them as heard youve got to drop the beam

The standard system may need cutting so that you can remove it without lowering the beam.

The system will be a direct fitment and is supplied with an adaptor so that cutting isn't required.

It sits against the end of the cat and slots inside the centre section, this can be seen below:

Trust me this is a good thing.
The standard join between the cat and the centre pipe is absolute cack. I ended up cutting off the standard fitting and welding a 2.5 inch join in place but it was a lot harder as my exhaust wasn't designed with this in mind.

I'll hold my hands up and say our listing is wrong. Piper as mentioned already above now comes with an adaptor so it will go straight on without needing specialist work.

Anyone got a pic of one fitted do a 172 ? Does it or do they do one that use a 182 surround and cut bumper to fit like a prospeed ?

 

[Dan519]

yes, you can get a recessed system, I found an old picture the other day and put it in another thread. They come with the trim too

I'm not totally sure who told us otherwise to be honest.
