Long Shot But Help Needed

[MarcB]

Off the top of anyones head do they know the outer diameter of a standard Clio 200 centre section ?
I need to change my two exhaust clamps as they have started leaking and are blown.

I want to get these ordered up so they are ready just to fit as cant afford to have the car off the road just now.

Here is a image of what im looking for from when I change them years ago.

Any help would be much appreciated so I can get these ordered up ASAP.

Make sure the exhaust is not cracked where the pipe goes through the middle silencer the weld cracks and is hard to weld because the metal thickness between the pipe and silencer face, too much power with the welder can blow a hole in the silencer face. I've checked it with the engine running sit on the ground with your feet under the car put your foot to the silencer and listen for a difference it will be a hairline crack that grows when the exhaust heats up.

Found the issue and I was right in thinking it was the exhaust sleeve.

Why is this not welded? Why would you use clamps?

Its a full system from the CAT back and my car did have a miltek system on it.
As im running a 200 diffuser I needed a 200 exhaust so I bought a Clio 200 Exhaust system and to fit it they need cut.

As its been cut it was just as quick and easy to use clamps incase I ever wanted to change anything or replace anything and for the price of a £10 clamp I don't mind.

Right the rear clamp is listed a a 60mm which I think the standard system is that size
