No worries mate drop me a PM. Yeah taking off the centre silencer definitely increases the flat spot quite a bit. Putting it back on should reduce it back to normal.

I'm pretty dam sure I have a spare centre box in my shed. I took it off my previous 200 back in 2014 so condition is decent. I'm Coventry way, you can have it for free if you want. There's not much pipe left on it as it was cut very close to the box but worth taking to exhaust place and seeing...

I know exactly what you mean here. I sold my Clio 200 back in 2015 and missed it ever since. I went to a Fiesta ST, Focus ST and a Golf R with 365bhp and none were as good as the Clio.

Awesome thanks for the reply. Seems a lot of people are getting the Toyo manifold but can't seem to find it anywhere to buy anymore... The KTR one is also recommended but the cost is rather high!

Sorry to hijack also! I'm pretty sure the flexi are going on mine and I'm thinking best to get a aftermarket mani. What the deal with the catalyst? Are you guys putting the old mani back on come MOT time?
