Had my exhaust sorted today under warranty... Feels like a new car now, going from the standard system to a Titanium. So pleased with the outcome.

Will get videos tomorrow night when I can get someone to hold the camera.

It sounds immense and I love the blue tips on the tailpipes.

did you have to pay anything for the upgrade mate?
I was at a south wales clio sport meet last week with a lad that had been in your car round the ring with you

Cheers lads. I still can't believe my luck.

CaymanR26 - Are you Tim? My mate mentioned you actually, but I couldn't think who you were... It was Matt from CS. Came to the 'Ring with me back in April. :)

No, didn't have to pay anything... All covered under warranty. Total win.

Yes Steve - my names Tim - my son's name is Cayman

Yep thats him - Matt, I remember now

Bloody good deal mate - you must have some friends working there! would love one - sound is great

No friends at Renault mate. My standard system was faulty and they didn't have stock to replace it... After a 5 month wait, I sent them a letter and demanded a Titanium to resolve the issue. They gave in and it's now on the car. Got there in the end.

Where in Cardiff do you live? I'm always down that way as my girlfriend lives in Lisvane.

Nice work, looks at it should now :) is it as loud as the Ring video suggests? I'd been told the mic was placed next to the tailpipes :)

Looks awesome Steve. Nice to see the underside of yours still looking immaculate! ;)

Lucky lucky man! I was waiting for a backbox too, although it was a bodyshop trying to source it from Renault for me. In the end I got them to put a full Milltek on instead and thought i'd done well...... until you showed up

Steve Saunders

Paul - Yeah, it sounds exactly the same mate. I love it. Sounds like Darth Vader has been bolted to the car. LOL.

Chris - You know me mate... Gets treated like a baby.

Steve Saunders
06-10-2010, 20:22:36
Jespin - I feel bad now. Haha.

Tim - I'm game for that mate. Let me know the details nearer the time and I'll check the diary. Should be about.

Looks mint :)

How does a ti compare sound wise to something like a ktec or miltek system (by that I mean in db's or boomyness)

glennv6
06-10-2010, 20:39:50
Looks superb!!!

I would love to upgrade from the Ktec to the titanium but I can't justify the price.

Steve Saunders
06-10-2010, 20:42:03
Not sure on the K-Tec / Milltek systems. Never heard them in person. Guessing they're a bit more boomy? The Ti system just sounds like a jet.

Here's a good Titanium clip.

why the long wait for a standard system - I thought they were the same as those on the R26, so would be in good supply? Also, no diff between lhd and rhd (yes? no?) so could be sourced from European Renault depot if none in uk???

either way - lucky you and well done on getting a free upgrade!

Steve Saunders
06-10-2010, 22:09:50
Noir - Exactly what I thought mate... You'd think they'd have sourced one easily enough, but it seems not. They had big supply problems in France.

Either way, I'm pleased with the outcome.

Reyes - Will do a video tomorrow night dude.

Paul - Yeah, it sounds exactly the same mate. I love it. Sounds like Darth Vader has been bolted to the car. LOL.

Chris - You know me mate... Gets treated like a baby.

Does it sound different to the normal one?

Make sure to write the same folks a thank you letter saying how pleased you are with the exhaust, its fitment and the service provided by both the garage and CS.

It will go a long way.

Steve Saunders
07-10-2010, 08:59:38
Already written one out mate. Sending it off today. The least I can do.

Yeah, sounds a lot different. Thought you had one on yours?

Sapose the next question is what did you write back to them so we can copy and paste that to.

Steve Saunders
07-10-2010, 12:39:12
LOL. Got it on my home laptop. At work now... Will copy and paste later.

Not as good as the other one, as it doesn't need to be. :p

Glad to hear it's all sorted Steve.

Does the letter say anything about an upgrade to a 250 engine if yours goes??!!

Steve Saunders
07-10-2010, 14:27:26
Hahaha. I'm sure I could wangle it. ;)

For those with this exhaust, does it get even better once it's worn in a bit?

liquidf1
07-10-2010, 17:06:54
In my experience yes and once it's properly hot.

Here's a few quick videos. Pretty lame as they're filmed on my iPhone.
