Ive just got the same K-Tec exhaust on my Mk1 172 this week - tried fitting it last Friday night with a bit of help from a mate - nightmare - getting the old one off was the worst bit - took an angle grinder to do it too - lol - neither of us had a clue what we were doing i was just keen to get...
ive just got one one with the k2 exit and the larger center silencer, its ok but annoying on the motorway - way louder than i was expecting - took 3 fittings at my local garage too cos the center silencer kept rattling against the heat shield.

Cheers

My clio is a lot more edgy since i put 17s on it too - when braking at high speed it tries to more around more - i think dropping it a few mil should sort it out, im just deciding how low to go though now - i dont want too much rubbing!
It time for new front brake pads! but i was thinking of getting upgraded pads and discs - has anyone else done it - what did get? I have phoned around a few places this morning but there doesnt seem to be much available - I got a quote for some EBC pads at £57 and EBC discs at £127 but i dont...
Hi Shorty,
Im a relatively new Clio 172 Mk1 owner 2 and am also very pleased with my car! I had the door strips and door handles colour coded last weekend to stop getting polis on them & id seen quite a few pics that made em look better! unfortunally the idiots at the garage decided to use...
