Center Box Replacement with straight pipe - Birmingham Area - **Vid!!!**
- Thread starter Deako
- Start date
Had mine done at Top Gear Stockport today.
I'm not overreacting, but... OH MY F#CK!NG FATHER OF CHRIST!!! Now, that is how a Clio should sound. That video of Deako's is good but when you hear it in the flesh it's something else completely. It's not really any louder at idle and cruising at 30, 50 & 70 there's a small yet noticeable increase in noise. But, under load she screams it's t!ts off.
Nick, get yourself down to TGS, they charged me £70 in the end. It's a sleeve and clamp job as Curley has mentioned, looks really tidy and they're a decent pair of lads in there too. Well worth a visit. I have a video, so as soon as I've figureed out how to get it off my iPhone I'll upload it.

Well chuffed, fair play to you for trying it out first Deako!!!
My OEM system would pop a little, there's definately more of that now though!!! Only really drove back from home (8Miles-ish) but I'll be going on a blast later on tonight I think once the rush hour has passed. This has just saved me the best part of £400 as I'd been previously planning to save up for a K-Tec. One thing I would say though is that the flat spot is a little more noticeable now, but that's just given me an excuse to get a remap.

Sounds like very positive results from this even though the driving experience can be altered (not worse it seems) slightly.
Willis- defo get a vid up, just to hear another clio with it done.

Link in my post above now dude.
I can feel a tunnel run coming on later hahaha!!!
She's just ticked over 35,000Miles and I think there's a bit of a difference to the sound compared to Deako's 200. Although that could just be the recordings.
Tunnel run eh
am i invited?
Woody; We're goig to have to plan a route with a load of tunnels on it for the summer!!! I'm not too far for the big double tunnel at Manchester Airport, the notorious footballers car killing tunnels hahaha!!! I've got the camcorder on charge.
Luke; Yeah I could've saved £20 or so by going elsewhere but TGS are only 15 minutes from me plus I'd heard good things. Still, the money I was putting towards a K-Tec will pay for a remap and go towards some Eibachs and Cup Dampers now.
Mikey; Cheers mate!!! I'm well chuffed!!! I know, just watched the two vids back to back and there's quite a difference. Not sure if it's down to mine having more miles on the clock or wether the ambient temperature or the recordings are making it sound so different. I'll just have to go make another video.
