HELP - Exhaust query.

[jefflucas28]

Just found entire exhaust system for a 172 which i could purchase for £100, if i put this on my standard 1.4 8v, am i likely to see any gains in performance?

Thanks in advance

 

[jefflucas28]

Anyone? :-S

 

[pgarner]

depends does it follow the same route as yours ?
if it does then you might get a bit more

 

[jefflucas28]

thanks pgarner. i guess thats what i need to find out really , ive been looking on the KTEC website (renault tuning specialists) and each seperate part (manifold, cat back and catalyst) are all over 250 each, so i think if i can get the whole lot for 100 i'd be saving a penny or two.

ill do some research. thanks again :-0

It would be useful for numpties like me if you expanded on the car name when asking us questions. 172 means nothing to me other than it is probably a Renault

its the reanault sport clio

Sorry OG, i think i got over excited about finding out the info. Neglecting to mention what actual car its from wasnt intentional. Forgive me please.

A clio sport mk2 172bhp model is where the exhaust is from.

I'm wishfully thinking it may be free'er flowing than the system on my 1.4i 8v, thus a gain in performance could be found. But i empthasise the word 'wishful'.

Can any one pass any advice on this topic??

Thanks

Isn't the 172 Clio a V6?

 

[jefflucas28]

no its a four cylinder. 2.0 16v. I'm thinking the diameter is overall bigger, so gasses can escape quicker..leading to slight increase in bhp??? Correct me if im wrong

I'm no expert although my sister has the 182 version but I don't think you'll see much if any gains from that exhaust. It was designed for a 2 litre so sticking it on a 1.4 I don't think you'll get any gains from it in my opinion. All you'll get is the noise. I may be wrong but thats my opinion....

 

[jefflucas28]

thanks turbo. thats all i wanted anyway, just some opinions from my fellow torquecarsians think i'll give the exhaust a miss for now

"Torquecarsians"! It will catch on you know!
