Standard sound/fitment 172/182 aftermarket performance exhausts ?

[Sipha]

Are there any available that dont sound any louder than the standard Renault item, and fit snugly under the rear bumper too ?

I know of the K-tec stealth but it's still a bit loud I think.

Yozza do 1 ?

Car is a 172.

Thanks

in a word, no... if there is let me know, as mine is too loud for my old ears

Don't think it's possible due to design of a straight through silencer. Apparently the Yozza is a touch louder than standard - it uses a smaller tailpipe bore to reduce the sound level. Next we have the BTB stealth (www.stealth4clio.co.uk) which has a deep sound to it - no rasp, just a deeper rumble. We've got a standard Audi RS6 at work and my BTB stealth 172 makes exactly the same sound as the RS6 on idle!

yeah the yozza is a tiny tiny bit louder than stock, Jamsport recorded a power gain which was a bouns as it wasn't designed for power!

do you do a 2.5 inch one that's quiet Fred? not bothered about power gains, just dont want to lose any and cannot stand the bass on the motorway... in fact I'll have to bring the charged shed over sometime and show you. It was quieter with ITB's, standard inlet it's quite boomy

... does sound nice when at full chat though

 

[Fred@BTM]

it is 2.5 inch

After seeing the YS items(and owing) i will happy say they are one the best bits of kit. By far one the best built exhausts available.

it is 2.5 inch

I'd want to know for sure it's going to be quiet on my car though, we do a lot of motorway journeys over to Leeds and York. You got a noise level tester? lol

 

[Fred@BTM]

we can chuck one on for you to try if you want, i've got the prototype still

Not a bad plan pal. We're off to see mine and the missus friend mid-next month, so I think we'll be passing Brum. Even if we dont have time to p!ss about with the cars I'll pop in for a catch up anyway and you can have a listen. I love my current system for the looks and the noise it makes, just wish there was a lot less of it... Might be able to use the stereo then
