Ahh yea that metal coat thing is some kind of protector/heat shield. It's thin metal, and often vobrates annoyingly if it loses it's little screw's. One appears missing on one above so I suggest you do it up Coops with another nut and bolt or use one off the duff d/p to secure.Quote:

Will everyone hate me when I say I've had none of these problems with mine? 8-[
last time I looked at mine it had a bit of a hole in it you see - if its only the shield I'll live :D
ai, i need to pop extra bolt in the sheild, but old one had one missing n all and was okay, so be reet 8)
Ahh, thats fine then, my old valver one vibrated at certain rev ranges.
just rip it off......less weight ;)
These clios must plan these things - mine snapped in EXACTLY the same place yesterday!
Knew it had a blow that was getting slightly worse - didn't look at it and assumed it was from the cat after the engine swap. I was literally on the way to my unit to have a look and sort it out. Then all of a sudden heard a bang and the car sounded like a tractor. Damn thing started scraping on the floor.
An hour later, after a mate came to my aid with some cable ties, got it back to my unit.
Took me about 3 1/2 hours to swap it all - luckily had the complete valver setup. Gonna get the willy downpipe welded up though - should be ok then. Fair play i well saw my arse with it! Can't believe yours looks absolutely identical. Must be a common problem?
never heard of it before mate, so a bit weird, ususal spot is the manifold where the 4 tubular branches meet, it splits there.
done this on 1 of mine...racing a teggy out of york a few years ago...common prob. not as common as where the 4 join tho admittedly.
