Sounds really nice

ColinG · Oct 9, 2005

wow that sounds superb! any chance of it fitting a 172?

Bryan · Oct 9, 2005

beautiful appearance IMHO

Boz · Oct 9, 2005

Sounds nice. Is that 182 LHD?

olin · Oct 10, 2005

Sorry, what do you mean by THD ( I'm from France )

olin · Oct 10, 2005

It can be fitted to the 172 with some work ( 182 exhaust manifold upgrade, spare wheel to be removed and silencer mounting plate holes to be drilled, rear bumper to be modified ).
Ktec is also selling a twin exhaust conversion for the 172 if I remember well.

Turkish · Oct 10, 2005

how much is it going to cost ?

seb · Oct 10, 2005

va va voom

Phill1978 · Oct 10, 2005

yea im waiting for the ktec convertion on my 172cup but i want someone to properly cut and even space the twin exit`s on the back bumper, also dont want wonky exhaust.. hopefully ktec themselves can do this for me.

Thomss · Oct 10, 2005

I do like the sound of that a lot. One of the best I have heard.

M.C.. · Oct 10, 2005

that sound really good looks nice as well

Gaz_ · Oct 10, 2005

awesome, think it has some kinda IK too

nice sounding that

Boz · Oct 10, 2005

LHD = left hand drive, which makes sense if you're in france!

martynh · Oct 10, 2005

How much was it?

Jamie _Swales · Oct 10, 2005

Sounds nice,

I like the last vid how you come screwing it round the corner

Yeah, I think it sounds like it's got an induction kit of some description too.

Any other mods?

olin · Oct 10, 2005

The car is using the standard airbox with a cotton panel filter from JR.
The price of the complete line is 704 euros ( grouped order ) excluding vat ( your vat is lower than in France... ) and excluding delivery.
If you are interrested you can email me.

Thomss · Oct 10, 2005

Going in to AAS on Saturday to get my new system put on may take them some sound clips along and see what they can do

olin · Oct 10, 2005

For the mods, I'm planning to put it in Ben's hands soon or later...
The only mod it has for now is the brakes upgrading. This was an absolute necessity since I live only 1 hour from the Nurburgring...

olin · Oct 10, 2005

A last word about performance. This exhaust line has been designed to optimise torque at low rpm. Orbisoud is working with Renault Sport on many project. They had an access on the thermodynamic optimisation data from RS.
The line bore, silencer volume, and cat position have been chosen to give a max torque at 4000rpm. It is very very nice...
The exhaust has been approved by Renault Sport but is not sold as Renault spare part ( wich is the case for the track Cup line also made by Orbisoud )

Ja5on · Oct 10, 2005

sounds superb! one for the shopping list

Lucas · Oct 11, 2005

Sounds very interesting.

Olin, you have PM.

Turkish · Oct 11, 2005

How much is that in real money? also im not sure what you mean by "track cup line" is there another track spec version available ? If so what are the differences between the two.

olin · Oct 11, 2005

The track cup line is made by Orbisoud and sold by Renault Sport for the track Clio Cup.
Is is basically the same unit except that it costs 1100 euros and is very loud ( 90 Db ; the silencer volume is much smaler )

olin · Oct 11, 2005

The price is 540 £ with a vat of 15%

Turkish · Oct 11, 2005

price isnt bad at all (is that including VAT i take it?), i'd prefer the louder freer flowing track silencer but not the cost to go with it, lol

Phill1978 · Oct 11, 2005

sounds amazing, shame i cant get that sound on the 172cup

Lucas · Oct 11, 2005

Depending on the exchange rate I worked out 704 Euros as about £570 including 17.5% VAT. Not too bad.

I also translated a bit from the Orbisoud website. It looks like the use a 200 cell cat (instead of the standard 400 cell). It also looks as if there is a place to mount a sensor (Lambda). 60mm diameter between cat and single rear silencer. 2x 45mm exits from silencer, and then 2x 92mm tailpipes which obviously fit in standard slots.

They claim a boost in power of up to "10 CV" across the rev range, which I'm assuming would be about 10bhp? This probably isn't a peak power boost? Sounds good though if its true.

Looks light compared to the standard system too.

Turkish · Oct 11, 2005

Looks alot better, when i get round to changing mine i want a system without a y piece in it and with only one silencer on it no matter which system i decide on.

MarkM · Oct 11, 2005

Is it stainless steel?

Sounds and looks very nice.

Yep, stainless steel (or "inox" in French I believe).

Fred@BTM · Oct 11, 2005

track system from orbi is only 90db??? god these frenchies are going gay!!

our track exhaust is 97db

McBunny · Oct 11, 2005

i always did think the orbi was a tad soft

olin · Oct 11, 2005

Therre is a new regulation in France for the Cup competition. It is limiting the cars noise ( among others ).

rmccardal · Oct 11, 2005

The noise limits on track are only going to get lower due to tree huggers.
Orbisoud have done well to keep it that quiet whilst increasing performance.

Looks like a good design to me.

Not as good as the AngelWorks Technologies system is going to be though.

Any details on the AWT system mate? I'm desperate for a new exhaust but want one that increases performance rather than just looks/sounds better.

I'm very tempted by this Orbisoud one because the cat is included, it looks/sounds just how I want, increases performance and isn't ridiculously expensive if I go in with Olin's group buy.

The only thing making me hesitate is the fact I would have to get it shipped from France, meaning more hassle if there are any problems or I'm not happy with something.

By the way, Olin, I e-mailed Fabien earlier today, so I'm waiting for his reply now.

You'll see better gains without the cat in place. Should imagine any aftermarket decat system will be more powerful than a cat'd version.

Lucas · Oct 11, 2005

I realise this but don't want a full decat as I really can't be arsed with messing about when it comes to MoT time (even though its a while away!).

I've also heard that the 100 cell cat on the Orbisoud is very free-flowing, and will hardly offer more resistance than a full decat, plus it comes with places for the two sensors that are either side of the cat.

Just think it's a good compromise when you consider how much you would have to pay for a decent cat back stainless system for the 182, plus a seperate sports cat.

miketheman2k · Oct 12, 2005

Fair enough

Is this system available in dacat form? I'd imagine it would cost a good £200 less?
