De-catted Manifold: The results

[m4t7-g]

Quite like this idea, I'm keen for sound plus I'm a fabricator for Jag/Land Rover prototype cars!

Just got my 197 the other day now looking and taking in whats what with these!

Hi, firstly I'm a girl albeit a petrol head with very limited knowledge mechanically.
I've had a cat back exhaust fitted replacing a cracked one. Pretty sure the performance is lagging. Feels like it's holding back. Back pressure? Or all in my head. Certain it's lost power! !:-(
Just joined!! Need help navigating all this!

Standard or non-standard? If standard, was it a genuine part?

 

[shells2074]

I saw the part so yeah genuine.

Probably needs mapping to suit the manifold.

 

[shells2074]

Dam it.

 

[shells2074]

RS tuners Leeds? I'm an hour from there. Anyone else had a remap and recommend?

 

[Rogue]

100% your best bet.

 

[shells2074]

Cheers I've messaged them. Is this to be an expected spend with new manifold? Was kinda hoping the Renault specialist would correct it

 

[TB Rich]

Yeah Paul at RS Tuning really knows his onions, mapped mine.

It is less thirsty now than previous, though I'd take the speed pleasure drive over a gentle cruise. Didn't get the car for economical purposes. ☺ Rogue what's your name?

It may be worth baring in mind to get all engine mods sorted THEN map.

 

[shells2074]

This is sounding rather costly 3 months after purchase. It was good to go with a cracked manifold

 

[Rogue]

haha yeah but I mean, if you're thinking of getting a catback, induction etc, better off doing it after.

Did you put a standard manifold on by the way?

 

[shells2074]

Yeah. I need a man!!! He can sort it all, I'll just drive it stress free

 

[shells2074]

Even when a bird walks in? Not going to get a **** job?

Completely misread your first post.

What catback did you have fitted?

 

[shells2074]

Just standard. Like for like replacement.
