    Yozzasport exhaust with standard cat ?

    Does anyone have a picture of a Yazzasport system? Can't find one on the net anywhere... Does it have two back-boxes or one?

    @Simo I notice on the Y-piece it says Grade 304 Stainless Steel. Just be aware that grade of stainless hardens at it gets hot and cools down, so it might be prone to cracking. Another thing to consider is that the Manifold is Mild steel and if you have welded Stainless to Mild Steel, it...

    Fitting 225-45-17 to std wheels?

    I'm in South Africa, and the only car on our roads that uses a 215/45/17 is the Clio. Whereas every second car here is a Merc, BMW or Audi which use 225/45/17. Therefore there is an abundance of these tyres available and they are a lot cheaper! To put in in perspective. A set of 215/45/17...

    Decent gains throughout the rev range, but mostly on top. It was fitted in conjunction with a 63mm exhaust, with one center box, and split into two 57mm pipes into two boxes at the rear (3 boxes in total).

    ...Interesting? or not? pre-kat elimination..

    A few guys here in South Africa have done this mod with very good gains. Here is an example of one that has been ceramic coated. They just cut out the cat, and got a local exhaust place to make up the connection

    WTF? STD exhaust popping?

    You sure its not the clutch or gearbox making a "popping-like" sound on upshift. Mine was doing the same - I also thought it was the exhaust popping. Took it in, and they said it was the synchro...

    Fitting 225-45-17 to std wheels?

    Probably best to stick with what is recommended by the manufacturer. I went up a size, because where I live 225/45/17's are half the price of 215/45/17's...

    My standard inlets...

    After you match the inlets, the torque and power increase is that after re-mapping or felt instantly. My car is already mapped by RS Tuning. If I do this mod, will I require mapping again?

    57mm or 63mm

    Unfortunately where I live we cannot get Brand name exhausts, so will be having a custom free-flow exhaust made. I've currently got a RS Tuning map and performance panel filter. Should I go for 57mm or 63mm tubing. The system will be a copy of the popular exhaust kits available, with one...

    What ecu for my 197?

    Check these guys out. http://www.gotech.co.za/ Unbeleivable quality and reliability, plus it will be cheap if you buying in Euro's. Their ECU's have been used extensively in M3 Turbo's, and they manage to keep all the existing fault codes etc etc. So I'm sure in a N/A Renault it will be fine.

    Cup racer exhaust

    If I'm not mistaken the Race car makes 203BHP = 151.4kW But the standard car is supposed to make 197HP (PS) = 194BHP = 145.0kW But as we all know this is not the case, as most only make about 185BHP = 138kW So that would make about a 18BHP (13kW) difference between Racer and Standard, which...
