Truth about the extra 10hp in 182s

[Guiddy]

A friend in the trade puts it down to the inlet manifold? Any truth in this? Thought Id ask you guys in the know!
Anything an easy swap onto a MKII 172 to release more power?

they are exactly the same between 172 and 182.

You can get good and bad uns simply down to the 2 halfs that you randomly get and how well they match up.

THe exhaust manifold however is far less restrictive.

Mine in this hot weather, feels like it could be scalped by one of the wannabe coldhatch variety - vrs, st, perhaps even electric cars, bicycles etc... i feel well vulnerable.

The 182 manifold is different but its mainly down to the exhaust manifold, sports cat and different exhaust.
However there are other changes ie different head casting (which is infact a step backwords)
