    Advantages of a manifold

    hi, I had a fully decatted (pre-cat and Main cat) resonated Milltek system on my 197 when I got it. I think it was remapped as there was no flatspot and no engine warming light. I have now removed the mid-silencer a few months ago and that introduced the flatspot. I have noticed that there is a...

    Single Exit Milltek

    Hi, I used to have a fully decated milltek non res cat back, I was talking to a local power flow garage and he said that he could but a "blanking plate" to block out the right hand side silencer, so the only silencer would be the one on the left. Has anyone done anything similar or is this a...

    Akrapovic advice

    Hi, I have a decated non res milltek cat back on my 197 and it has quite a flat spot, I am considering buying an akrapovic cat back. Would this need remapped or would it be beneficial on its own? I live too far away from anywhere that could do it properly so this isn't an option. If the...

    Catalytic converter advice

    hi, I am taking my car to get an unsilenced mid pipe for my resonated milltek cat back for my 197 made by my local powerflow garage, but I would like to change the cat, but should I get a decat or a sports cat? is there much of a difference between the 2? and would there be less of a flat spot...

    Hi, I have got a Clio 197 F1 with a resonated milltek cat back, but want more pops and crackles from it, I was thinking of getting a scorpion non res cat back, or would I be better to just get a custom unsilenced mid pipe made by a local powerflow dealer? (Or maybe you can suggest better...

    New key card help

    Hi, when I bought my 197 it only came with 1 key card, but the person I bought it off works in a Renault garage so he said that if I supply him with a key he will program it for free for me. But I don't know where to get it or what to look for, I believe it has keyless entry. So could someone...

    I was thinking about getting an oreca system for my 197 F1. I currently have a milltek, how much louder will the oreca be? I used to have a KTEC catback with decat, which had a really bad flat spot, would the oreca have a flatspot? finally, I am aware that the oreca only has 1 exit, would it...

    Hi, I have just bought a 2007 197 F1 (6 days ago) with 43,000 miles. On the test drive it was spot on. But after driving it a little harder I have noticed it crunches when changing into 3rd at anything more than 5k revs, and occasionally into 4th. what should I do? Is it likely to get much...

    197/200 diffuser

    I plan to put a 200 diffuser on a 197, is it a straight swap? also, would a milltek exhaust or ktec exhaust for a 197 need modified to fit the 200 diffuser? thanks

    Cat or no cat

    Hi, I have got a 197 with a standard exhaust with decat. I have bought a ktec catback and want to know whether to put the cat on the new system or decat it. Will the decat make it too loud, and will it pop more with the decat on the ktec than the decat on standard exhaust. thanks
