Hi all, my friend has a Clio 197 and has had the centre silencer removed and a straight pipe welded in its place. Its a stanndard system and I think it sounds awsome. More sporty and raspy. Has anyone done this to the stanndard setup on the gti6? Would it create the same/similar effect? Been looking for videos but cant find anyone thats done it. Thanks, Tom |

Yep thats the part! But I can get a local company to cut and weld me one for less than half of that fitted. More interested if anyone has done it or has any videos? |

More interest if you can get the company to make one for me at a cheaper price!  ________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

I'm probably going to get the pipe above as if the car is too loud for a track day, I can put it back in.________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

I got a custom exhaust place to make me a straight through centre section, identical to my Magnex one, just without the silencer. Think it cost me around £100 at the time...That way, I can also swap pipes depending on the track etc/noise limit.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Pretty much what I'm thinking Stan. Think I'm going to get a permanent decat though.________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

The place I got mine done was really good. It's called 'Zero Exhausts' in Ashford. One bloke on his own in a unit and he has all the equipment to make bends and stuff. He does a lot of exhaust work for the BTCC cars. Really recommend him.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
