I know this has been asked before, but there's no definitive answer...
I know I would have to modify the flange on the manifold, but otherwise would it fit?
I found an old thread where sideways danny said there are some PAS pipes in the way. Would this be an easy mod or a complicated one (I don't have a 172/182 mani at hand to measure and do a trial fitment).
Reason why I'm looking into this is because 182 manifold looks strikingly similar to original Clio Maxi manifold. I need one, because my new engine will have hard time breathing through original manifold, but new Clio Maxi manifold is €€€, so I'd like to cut some corners...
I know that 172 and 182 manifolds are different, would fitment still be the same?
Just look at it!
