Akrapovic on a 197?

[Makila]

I see the Akrapovic exhaust systems are advertised for the 200 only, do they fit on the 197 too??

Also, is the evolution system road legal? Ie will it pass an MOT?

 

[BREENY BOY]

yea mate u can get one for the 197 here it is dude http://www.jam-sport.co.uk/home/ren...apovic-evolution-clio-197-exhaust-system.html

So what happens at MOT time with an evo exhaust? does it pass emissions tests or would I need to swap it out?

 

[BREENY BOY]

well u would have to get a cat mate every zaust needs a cat to pass MOT

 

[MikeLYR27]

It will pass on the MOT it still has the precat in it. Mine was the 1st on a 197, its amazing! Jamsport just made me some custom exhaust tips that clamped on until i got a 200 diffuser

I was gonna say, I always thought you needed a 200 diffuser. That's sweet as a fn nut man. So SO tempted...

I sure hope it'll pass an MOT :rain:

Always a way round things

Theres some pics on my project thread, looks like a standard 197 exhaust

This is awesome.

Was it an easy conversion from the 197 to 200 diffuser with the Akra exhaust?

 

[henderson]

i'm pretty sure it will pass a MOT as mine did very recently with just a pre cat

it would be all down to the garage, if the particular technician knows that theres suppose to be two cats then i suppose they could fail it, it all depends on how far the technician whats to take it.

you could always weld a box around a straight through pipe

Yeah couldnt of been any easier!! 197 tips/diffuser off. Carbon tips on 200 diffuser,200 diffuser on.....finish lol! Its a perfect fit, no rattling, overheating nothing. Amazing workmanship! Ive never had a bad thing to say about it, nor any other owner on here, you get what you pay for on these cars imo.


It will pass as well is it only eliminates the 2nd cat i believe to aid low down torque, which is massively gained!

 

[Tom]

Yeah, I hear nothing but good about these - it makes me tempted to save...

 

[MikeLYR27]

It's the tone that sold me, it's not tinny, or overly boomy. Sounds like a race car, and has a nice eager aggressive tone!! Perfect.

 

[BenW]

Got an evo system on my 197 along with Mike's old tips, sounds great!

 

[N0ddie]

It's definitely the ideal sounding exhaust. Sound is right in the middle as Mike said. Not tinny and not boomy. Just right.

 

[Tom]

Damnit - are you two on commission!!?? Haha

 

[MikeLYR27]

Haha no mate, just two customers telling it how it is

 

[Tom]

Lol fair play man... I think I'll hold on for one if the TDF one isn't what it's meant to be...
