Tuning again!!!

[Bristow]

Hi Guys,

Before anyone has ago I have already searched through the forum and can’t seem to find a definite answer for what I want to know!

Anyways I have just got my ITG panel filter and now I need to know some info about the zorst! Firstly can you get a de-cat that fits into the standard system?

Secondly is there any point in doing this? I.e. is the rest of the system good enough? Will you get the full potential of a de-cat with the standard system?

Thirdly I have read that it is worth changing the manifold to either a 182 one or to some type of 4-1? I have a 172-cup? Will I benefit for changing the manifold or are the cup ones good enough?

Fourthly lol, the last thing I want to do after doing all that is the RS Tuner. Are these hard to install and what are people’s experiences with them? What are the cars like afterwards? Do they drink a lot of fuel!

Thanks in advance!

182 manifold is better for lower down torque but the 172 manifold is very good anyway and it's costly to change so it's up to you. A decat on a standard system will make little difference, TBH, even with a full SS exhaust you'll only gain minimal amounts but every little helps with breathing.

Look into getting your onlets matched first, do a search for any info.

as above matched inlets would be a good start. a decat is probably one of the best mods (pound/power) on a clio rs imo.

The RS Tuner is also a very good one for the money, very good if you have a decat and sorts out the cold start idle too. I've not notcied my car drink any more fuel than before either.

I think it might be possible to still get in on the matched inlet group buy too if your quick
