Clio 197 Supersprint Exhaust (Italian Content)

So after much deliberation, watching many a youtube video and copious amounts of questions on clio197.net I decided to go for a Supersprint Cat Back exhaust.

I chose Supersprint on its build quality, reputation, claims for the exhaust and over all the noise. Which is actually fantastic.

I went for their 'race' option which consisted of a centre section with no silencer, race back box and then slashed chrome tail pipes.

Here is the exhaust on arrival.

So once picking up the car after fitting the first thing I noticed is how loud it is. Even on idle. But its not a droning noise more of a power noise if that makes sense. I haven't had all that much time to test the exhaust but what I would say is it seems to rev through the range so much better and pulls so much harder over 5k. I would say the flat spot in second is more noticeable from the sound but certainly not worse.

I would say this is the best system I have purchased to date but I think I might need to get a silencer fitted.

Sounds ace mate, don't tarnish it by adding a silencer!!! :smiley:

Although saying that, Litchy added one to his and he says it's the perfect balance now.:smile:
 
That is proper supersexy.

I'd have a chuckle if someone walked passed your camera and picked it up lol
 
Excellent vid, made my wifes day! She said why are you watching a video of an empty road lol then saw your car roaring past and laughed as you had left your camera there.

Is that nimbus? looks nice and dark!
 
i love the quote

'Performance Exhaust, Factory Sound'

yeah, like my Clio sounded like that off the production line. lol
 
Why oh why did I mention the supersprint...

Now I deffo need one for the 182!
 
Was FAR too loud for me....love the sound but for a daily driver, just couldn't live with it. Now perfect with silencer...
 
Thanks for all the comments guys.

For me the K-Tec is far to common and overpriced for the UK. The Supersprint was expensive but with my long term plan for the car, the right option.

It seems to be ok as a daily at the moment but we will see. Like you Litchy, I can always get a silencer fitted afterwards.
