im just saying buddie. i was an apprentice too, trust me my wage aint much better now. but it will be the best 200-250quid youll spend. we are talking for an rs not a 1.2 right?

Judging by the "Car: Clio 1.2 Extreme." I doubt it.

all show no go lol mate get some form of air filter dont waste money on a 1.2

 

[Heez]

Straight pipe all the way through. Do it.

 

[DanEdser]

Just get a cone filter for induction noise.

Sounds nice and isn't chavvy.

Ive got a sportex exhaust on my 182 and it does sound nice, but when you want a nice peacefull drive sometimes* it can be abit intrusive, but i would recommend it, really good value for money.

If it's just the noise you want get a cone filter. Won't do anything power wise but gives a sportier sound.

yeah all show no go hence why i want a back box wont increase my nsurance as much as a straight pipe

Not sure how hard they are to fit to a 1.2 but on my old 1.6 it wasn't too difficult

whats it you actually have to do to fit one of thoese?

 

[Rubicon_]

Keep it standard, 1.2's with a backbox just scream chav.

Crappy photo but:

You just remove the original airbox and hose, then fit that massive black pipe and the actual cone filter. It was a bit fiddly around the back of the engine but simple enough in theory.

ahh nice mate, does it matter where exactly the cone sits?

 

[-Danman-]

As far away from the engine as possible

It won't really matter on a road car tbh as the heat soak won't be a massive problem.
