We have recieved loads of requests from people asking about information on the Mintex M1144 for the RenaultSport Clio 172 and 182.
Unfortunately, they are not available for the Clio 172/182, however they are available for the 1.8 16v and williams.
More information about the Clio 172 and 182 brake options can be found here: 172 and 182 Brake Information

Clio 182 Exhaust Information
RenaultSport Clio 182 Exhaust Systems
The RenaultSport Clio 182 followed the Megane RS and Clio V6 in having a twin exit tail pipe for the exhaust system. This became and identifying feature of the RenaultSport range. The twin tail pipe design is still present on the Clio 197 and the newly announced Clio 200.
The Standard Renault System
[Full information and part numbers for the standard Renault exhaust are to follow]
Clio 182 Sports Exhaust Systems
YozzaSport Clio 182 Exhaust Backbox
YozzaSport Clio 182 sports exhaust systems have been market leading systems since their introduction to the RenaultSport tuning world in 2005. Since, they have been copied, replicated and as yes – not matched. Our 182 systems are designed and manufactured here in the UK.
YozzaSport Clio 182 Catback Exhaust
The exhaust system is designed to provide maximum power whilst still retaining the join to the standard catalytic convertor, retaining twin exit pipes as standard and to utilise the standard bumper exit points.
Peak power is raised by 4-6BHP and torque is increased over the whole rev range.
[Other information 182 Exhaust Systems to follow from Supersprint, Ktec, Milltek and Blueflame]
Clio 182 Race Exhaust Systems
YozzaSport offer a custom 182 race exhaust system, as the Catylitic Convertor is an odd size and it is best to design the system from the manifold back. Often we would recommend a single pipe rather than the two pipes as standard.
Orbisound and Supersprint also offer 182 systems intended for racing, however these are rather expensive.
[more details will follow shortly]
Clio 182 Sport Catalytic Converters
Sports Catalytic convertors are not something that I like to recommend or to promote – basically as I don’t feel that they offer good value for money – they are massively expensive and on the 172 & 182 do not seem to offer an effective £/lb or £/bhp gain.
Clio 182 De-cat Pipes
A good power increase whether you are running a full 182 catback system or a standard renault exhaust system is to remove the cat and use a 182 decat pipe.
This article will be completed within the coming day or so.
Other Information That May Be Useful
With most 182 Catback systems you will be looking at a noise level of around about 90-93db. Once Decatted this can add about 3 or 4 db to the volume of the system.
Weight – the standard 182 system weighs 23kg, a YozzaSport system weighs just on 16kg, a saving of 7 kilos over the standard item. Other race systems are lighter, but these systems are obviously not intended for road use.

Renault Clio 172, 172 Cup, 182 and 182 Cup & Trophy Servicing
RenaultSport Clio 2.0 16v 172, 172 Cup, 182 and 182 Cup & Trophy Major and Minor Servicing Parts
RenaultSport Clio’s require servicing every 12,000 miles. You should find here a comprehensive list of all of the parts that you would require to do a minor service , and accessory belt service (36k) and major cambelt service (72k or 5 years).
I get lots of requests from people for service parts and service quotes for the 172 & 182 Clio’s and the occasional request for the Clio V6. Obviously one of the main things is “How much will it cost” – What most people forget is what they should ask – “How much could it cost?” Imagine a £500 service + Front Discs, Front Pads as well as the same on the rear – you are looking at double that. Ignore the possibility of a driveshaft or a shock and you could end up with a big bill.
Here are some of the parts that you will require…
