Rs192 exhaust problem...!

[safetywear]

Hi,

I had a rs192 scorpion exhaust fitted a while ago now but noticed a blowing noise when the cars hitting over 3000rpm... I have tried emailing the people I got it from but I think they've gone out of business :S

Would anyone else know where I could get a new gasket with the springs for the exhaust as a friend whos a mechanic located that the issue is coming from there???

Also i'm looking to sell the car so I want to make it perfect before she goes :dapprove:

Thanks,

Theo

that's not really a problem with your scorpion exhaust, it's a problem between the manifold and the standard cat.
You can buy the gasket kit from Renault for about £40 or from K-tec for about £20

Or northwest performance £11 :S

Thanks everyone.... Northwest seems to be the option for me

Mine seemed to be doing that, I changed it and even though it looks fine when it's standing, I still seem to be hearing a small blow somewhere near the front.

Apparently it happens due to when the engines under strain it twists or tilts which then effects the meeting points of the parts to the exhaust??????

I've ordered it just now and the guys at Northwest said I should get it tomorrow so i'll get a friend to fit it and let you know if it works.

Could it be made worse by worn engine mounts then?

Mine only seems to be noticable as I first start to accelerate.

I guess it could do due to the movement of the engine but i'm not to sure... I recieved the part this morning so i'll get it fitted monday and i'll see if it makes any difference!
