How long as your original exhaust lasted

[jayxx83]

Im still on my original on 40K.

 

[davebem]

Mine dropped off at 40k, I now have a janspeed sports cat with a slightly modified renault mid and back box on 72k.

 

[fUbAr]

mines on 23k and sat in the shed looking as good as new.

 

[Pearce69]

mines still on its original at 134k, looks good considering the amount of miles its done. Gettin my new engine in next week and possibly a new preformance exhaust next month.

 

[Middo]

my 1.2 one fell off at 25k almost spot on 18months. not good imo lol

 

[subz]

my back box fell off at 44k lol, i need another one!!

 

[FlameR]

mine fell off around 27k. the 172 ones are 100% sh*t. stainless steel FTW

 

[Tom H]

Mine developed the 4k rattle at 25k :S

Replaced with a stealth

 

[Gary-Lew]

My 172 backbox went after 8k , had a replaced under warranty, then the centre section went at 16k, so changed it for a Sebring sytem, then changed again to a longlife system its still going strong at 65k sold her 2005

 

[Cap]

Mine was sawn off at 65k to put a peco stainless steel system on (it was a genuine exhaust, i believe origonal from the amount of crap inside it)

WTF! ..whats wrong with undoing the 2x 13mm bolts on the clamp!

 

[Martin_172]

my 1.2 16v one lasted 4 years and 140k miles it was still fine when i removed it too lol

my 172 however blew the welds off the centre section at 30k and 3yrs

 

[DebV6]

I changed mine at 15k, so I wouldn't know. My boyfriends 1.2 clio is still on the first one at 40k though.

Tee hee!

 

[Turkish]

Mine's on 32k and still seems ok, sounds toilet though. When it falls off (lets face it it will at some point) it will be getting a lairy SS effort with one central rear silencer, cup racer style.

 

[monkeyman103]

Had a whole enw exhaust replaced after 21,000 miles as backbox fell of on motorway. Sicne then have had the mid scetion replaced twice due to the baffles going. Think it full stainless steel time.

 

[Dan 172]

My mid-section started to rattle at 25k, so it was replaced under warranty.

The back box lasted 35k and just over 3 years

 

[Alex_X93]

Mine fell off at 41k ........

 

[Karen]

Got told mine was corroded on my 182 in my MOT at 3 years old, currently on 28.5k and 5 months on and it hasn't fallen off yet.

I would replace it but don't know what to put on it.

 

[Hawkeye]

Mine fell off at 27K on a 172,replaced with cat back system.

 

[bmh.01]

I'm 28k with the standard exhaust, centre section rattles like a b**ch though. And its looking pretty damn rusty where the pipe joins the backbox, not long left for it I think.

 

[Ja5on]

28k.......... im currently on my 2nd cat and 2nd backbox which is now falling to bits with rust. not a happy customer. Both the renault dealers near me make such crap jobs of fixing it i end up doin it.

Yesterday was my months clam tighten day

I recon this is a good alround exhaust Karen. I'd get the one with two silencers to keep noise down ..

[Brasseye]

back box went at 36k (pipe sheared off before silencer)
with only one barcket taking the weight of the back box there is a strong "twist" force on the pipe holding the weight... bit of a poor design on the 172...... at least it dont sound like a ticking bomb now when its cooling down

 

[stinka]

my back box fell off friday at 45k

replaced with ss stealth catback from mij performanse of wallsall and its throaty

 

[Craig]

mines still on its first at nearly 29000k

 

[FlameR]

mine fell off around 29k.

 

[Cue]

cat lasted 17k, centre section and back box 21k. both recently replaced under warranty and are currently dry stored to go back on the car when i get bored with the custom made prospeed.... which will be never then lol.
