help on 172

[clio_172cup]

hi ive just recently bought a clio 172 cup 02 plate has 79k miles its in great condition and drives great... uz must here this alot but in help ov some mods it has a really big pipercross airfilter on it and a back box... is it best to get a exhaust system with decat ? also thinking about remap after ive done few things .. all im thiking is a double exhaust system with a decat similar to the 182 system but not in the middle near either side if you get what i mean .. any pics ov this done would be great and maybe a viper kit ? then a remap was thinking about cams but dont know what else needs changeing apart from the cams .. also 4got 2 mention the big airfilter seems to be takein in hot air aswel al try get sum pics ov it ... thanks alot

the hot air from the filter wont be helping the fuel consumption at all. tbh there arnt many mods u can do the 172 without spending alot of money on it. the F4R engine is pretty maxed out. a common exaust mod is a 182 manifold with decat with yozzasport, Miltek or K-Tech Stealth. Matched Inlets are Supposed to give some decent power gains but again its all money. If i wanna spend a 4 figure some u could get a throttle body kit. hope it helps mate.

Decent filter (V6 Espace for instance) + de-cat + Yozza System would be a good starting point.

Get rid of that Pipercross lol

why does everybody put a de cat on?

just lob the end of the cat off & make the outlet hole to i think a 2.5" or 3" outlet & then get cat back system, the gasses will flow much better. obv not as good as removing cat all together but will pass m.o.t still.

Works on the 182 cat but not so on the 172 cat.
