I was bored so made a video of my exhaust, the last one I did was in the dark, so thought I'd do another.

It's much noisier than I thought it was, it seems relatively quiet in the car!

 
I did the same to mine at the weekend (minus the painting!). I also cleaned out the throttle body as it was black! It's quite easy to take off, lots of sensors/pipes etc to remove but fairly straight forward. I followed the changing spark plugs guide on CS which helped a lot.

I've just received some brembo pads which I ordered off G172 yesterday as one of the sliders on the front caliper got stuck and has worn one of the pads down. I'm gonna stick them in at the weekend.
 
Mike (alexisonfire), am I right in thinking you have a DA polisher? If so, I wondered if you wouldn't mind sorting my headlights out for me for a few beer tokens (or money!) one weekend. Obviously I'll come down to you, and we can go for a blast around the South downs and do some photos or something.

If a "blast around the south downs" is a sexual innuendo, then yes, im up for that. :D

I don't have a polisher, I borrowed my mates last time, but can get it no problems. :cool: Would be cool to meet up again! Although i might do a sex wee if our cars are together. Just so you know, once you see the effect of machine polishing, you will want to do your whole car :p
 
Haha, it can be innuendo if you want, haha! :)

Ah right, I thought it was yours. Now I think of it, I might just buy one because I would love to do mine.

Things that are annoying me about my car right now which I need to get off my chest:

- Stone chips on bonnet
- Stone chips on bumper
- Little nick on bumper where paint is missing
- Wing mirror scuff, paint removed from it, been like it since I got it
- Exhaust pipes sitting about 0.5-1cm too low for my liking
- I can't decide if I need spacers or not
- Swirl marks
- Dirty wheels

My exhausts are ******* the **** out of me atm, stupid crappy mounts don't do **** all. I want to get some of those uprated ones but iirc they are like £50 each? :eek::eek::eek::eek: I bought some genuine Renault ones and they broke the next day. I got quite a few stone chips from the car control day i did couple weeks ago, the road condition was terrible. Luckily being silver, they don't really show up, plus i look at them as medals, or man points :D

If you wanna come down and do the whole car, i'll give you a hand, i did mine on my own and don't wish that pain on anyone :p

I may well take you up on that offer! :)
 
Good Afternoon


Thank you for your enquiry ref your Clio.

The price of our AmD remap and Milltek exhaust would be £632.18 inc vat, with FREE fitting on the exhaust too. You are correct that the de-cat system would fail an MOT, so is essentially not road legal.

The figures we gain from the remap are about 8bhp and the same in torque. This also includes a road test with data logging to start with to make sure the car is performing as it should and there are no problems. We then carry out a before rolling road run to test standard power. The car is then mapped on the road as well as the dyno to suit your car. After this we finish with a final rolling road run so you have a print out of before and after power.

All though the figures are not that high on naturally aspirated cars it’s more about the improved drivability and throttle response. The car will have a lot more get up and go as well as feeling quicker through the rev range.

Could someone please verify that it is a cat-back system that I want? I want a new 'exhaust' so to speak. I don't need a 'full system' do I?

Thanks

If you simply want to replace the current exhaust system with an aftermarket alternative, you want a cat back exhaust.
 
That seems awfully expensive. My exhaust fitted at AMD was £430, which means they must be charging something like £200 for the remap. Just do it yourself with an RSTuner, which you can then sell on to get some of the money back.
 
As far as I'm aware the standard re-map cost from a garage is at least £300. (inc vat) The cheapest place you can get the exhaust is from ebay for £380 and then I'm looking at an additional £100 for labour to fit it.

£780 :\
