Hard to say but will be restricting flow.

My valver had a scorpion system when I bought it and it was shagged. As soon as I put the magnex on there it absolutely flew, it could be making a massive differance. I know it did on my car.

where exactly is this wadding and how would you tell if it's feckered?

On the inside there is a mess type construction that hold wadding matterial on the inside circumferance of the exhaust in the box's. I think its to prevent resonation. When it comes out it basically means youve got an empty bean can as a silencer. This changes your pipe diameter and the flow dynamics and can alter back pressure. The wadding could get stuck in the pipe and block it. Scorpion exhausts are renowned for it.

I can get a 'Walker' copy of the original back box for 74 quid fitted. Anyone know if this would be an ok move for a temporary fix until i can find a better alternaltive?

Can get the whole exhaust for 112.59 as a Walker copy of the original Renaul.

You think?

Its got the chrome pipe at the same angle i checked. And its a 2.25 inch pipe with from and rear silence.

It has the same guarantee as a genuine Renault one too (3 years).

Plus Renault one is £290 fitted. So nearly 2.5 times as much.

I had a walker exhaust as my inbetween exhausts and it was fine. I sold it to smokey from cliosport and he has it on his hybrid with no problems. Good fit and a damn sight cheaper then Renault. Tailpipe etc was the same as Renaults, no differance at all.

Cool cant complain at 114 quid really. Especially as it will make my car more original that Northys when he has his magnex. :wink:
