There is like to stages on mine but its pretty consistant accross all C2 VTS's, it just goes nuts after 5000rpm.

Assuming the K&N is the same I would say its down to the car.

Heard it mentioned by Mole to, I assume it won't work if I just cut a bit from my exhaust and put some flexi in.

meilack, could you do a comparison

flexi one side normal exhaust the other when you come round too getting and fitting yours?

not too sure on yours percy, from hearing it mentioned and reading it the ST exhaust and inlet side were highlighted as being restrictive, are these area's an issue on your make of car?

Unfortunatley Citreon know how to make cars and there isn't any huge restrictions really, yes I can't make thinks flow better, but nothing massive over the standard equipment.

There seems to be gains from a manifold, but everybody is de-cating at the same time (which i prefer to keep my car legal) so not sure if there is a gain from a better manifold + Cat.

There is cases of them pushing 165-170bhp, when cammed. But I really am not that bothered, if I wanted that power I would have got a clio.

Comes down to being an already maxed 1.6 where the ST is a restricted 2.0.

As I say I really interested in how it can free so much power.

hopefully meilack can get some info off the STOC website about it :thumbsup:

no one ever just done a manifold and left the cat on then?
