182 manifold for 172cup queerie

[deek_172cup]

hey folks i have a 172 cup and it has the 4-1 manifold on it and was wondering is it wortb putting the 4 2 1 mani off the 182 on i know lots of people tend to do this but is it worth my time also what else would i need for the exhaust or would the standard cat etc work with the mqnifold


cheers derek

Not worth it, minimal gains! Your standard cat wont fit, you will need a 182 manifold to 172 exhaust conversion cat! It will cost £500 for the 182 manifold and cat!

It would make mid range better..but you lose top speed. For the price and hassle of doing it...you wont get much in terms of bhp increase (1 or 2 if you are lucky), just better driveability. Its not worth it mate. An old friend has his 172Cup with sports cat 200 cell instead of 300 cell, 182 mani, remap and inlets matched and aftermarket exhaust and it made 5 bhp over my standard 172Cup with aftermarket exhaust and cost him between 1.5 and 2k

Having done it personally I would advise not to bother unless you've got the engine or subframe off anyway, I only did it cos I snapped my cat and thought it was worth a shot

 

[deek_172cup]

dont think i will be bothering then lads prob will jus get a cat back on it

Ive done it on one 172 already and tomorrow will be doing it on my 2nd one! driveability is better and worth it imo!

WTF did you get £500 from?! £100 tops for a manifold and £50 for decat.....DONE!

New to this argument so im none the wiser but...

What supposedly makes the 182 10ps more than the 172 then? I thought the only change was the manifold/exhaust
