Custom made exhausts, suggestions?

[Jack Parke]

Hi guys, im looking to replace my Clio 1.2 soon for a Clio 1.2 TCE and what ive learnt is the best thing to do is get a custom made exhaust... Im just wondering if you have any suggestions and how much roughly are we looking at, i went onto Ktec and a downpipe was £230 and a rather terrible looking exhuast, ( not sure if just back box or whole system was £300+ )

I of course dont mind paying £500 for a full system as long as its tailored to what i would want, style etc...

any help would be great, thanks!

not for me to poo poo anyone's modification dreams but why would spend £500 on an exhaust for a 1.2 engine. All my first cars we small engined and underpowered and i never understood why people spunked loads of cash on them good luck though

Currently got a 1.2 16v non turbo and the Exhuast on that was £150 plus fitting including decat. It is a question I get asked by a few people... But I love modifying cars and love the sound, and I guess so do the millions of other people with their first/second/third car

I know it could be a bit of a trek but I got mine done at Infinity Exhausts, just off junction 16 of M4 (near Swindon). They made it while I waited and was a bout three hours.

Price wise? And what kind of spec?

I'm looking for a downpipe/decat straight through twin 3" just like on the later RS clios

I paid £440 fitted and lifetime warrenty for a 2.25" system including a decat and centre silencer with choice of tip and noise (everything apart from the manifold, which they do make there if you really want). Utter bargain I thought.
By the looks of it they will do anything you want. A proper range of cars they have done too from their Facebook page

Will have to seriously shop around, thanks for the tip! No pun intended.

Don't mind paying £400-500 as long as it really is the bees knees

Pete at PTR is good, he made my de-cat down pipe for my impreza.

Sounds good, got a quote from infinity for £450 for a downpipe and twin exit. Sounds reasonable... Will check around see who can offer what

2.25 Inch is too large for a 1.2. You will lose the designed torque curve .

I'm sure whenever I go they'll be able to suggest the best thing
