New (exited) Clio 200 Owner

It's a nice subtle burble on idle, and pops when you come off the pedal at high revs! I even had a flame the other day!!!

It's a really nice system and in terms of droning, it's very slightly louder than standard but certainly not unbearable to the point you can't hear yourself think. Personal opinion, it's not worth the extra for the Akra!

Let me know if you're down this way, I'll take you out in it so you can hear for yourself!

Looks stunning, loose the halfords rear spoiler though (ducks for cover).
Only playing, wolf in sheeps clothing suits me better but i do get the look. Sierra and escort cosworth springs to mind, both looked shocking without, gladly the clio does both looks well

Scorpion decat pipe but still running the manifold cat! Passed MOT with flying colours!

I have the sorpion ,it was on the car when purchased. It was without the centre silencer and was unbearable on the motorway at legal speeds, fitted a centre silencer and what a difference for the better, i can now hear my music and the flat spot was less harsh.

Wow, good to know! I would have worried about having to find a dodgy garage to do a ‘deal’ with

Does the centre silencer go where the cat would have been?

No you have the manifold then cat, the scorpion is in 3 sections a long pipe either non-res (straight pipe) or resonated (silencer) which connects to a curved pipe over the rear axle which joins to the rear silencers that sit into the diffuser

scorpion is a very popular choice indeed...sounds nice..

Welcome along!
As others have said, great spec you have there and sounds like the next mod is definitely an exhaust. Can’t help but think I was extremely unlucky with my Scorpion, it was ear splitting at 70, decibels were off the scale, and that was resonated!
Remember, maintenance is equally as important as mods, so get yourself looking through the How To Guides if you’re a paid member. You can’t beat peace of mind, especially when you have a French car!

Welcome. Your car looks mint. Enjoy.

Ah ok, so the resonated decat system comes with a centre silencer?

Thanks! Anything in particular maintenance wise that you’d recommend doing first?

Scuttle drain at this time of year and probably check your front and rear pads are coated and moving correctly.
