Well I fitted it yesterday. I'm not a mechanic and it took me about 4 hours with a ramp to completely remove the original exhaust (what was left of it) and fit the new one. It was a pain removing the original cat and was by far the most time consuming part of the job. Trying to stop the spring loaded bolts from turning was a nightmare for me!
Good points:
*Sounds awesome when accelerating above 3500rpm.
*Great fit.
*Looks to be good quality, but time will tell.
*Quite quiet at 30/40mph.
*Change in performance. It now pulls much harder from lower down the rev range. In the dry accelerating in second it starts to break traction. From a standing start it spins in both 1st and 2nd (new tyres here I come!) Previously the car was nothing at all like this, it really has transformed it!
Bad Points:
*Theres no getting away from it, it is a noisy system when accelerating.
*The note changes to a very loud boom at 3000rpm but by 3500rpm it becomes a much nicer high pitched noise.
*For me it would be unuseable on long motorway journeys (luckily I don't have too)
All in all a very big thumbs up from me! Its made me love my lil Clio again, I even washed it for the first time since before christmas. If it was driven everyday for more than 30 miles commuting it would have to go though.
Cheers again to Yozzasport for such a fast delivery (I ordered and paid Friday lunchtime and it was with me for 4.30 same day!). I'm impressed with both your service and product!
A video link is here (Watch all of it as theres some moving shots too):
