its a close-coupled cat on the C2 so its actually on the manifold. So it woud be a lot of work to refit a cat as the currently available manifolds are de-cat basically.

Hopefully GSR are working on a manifold with a sports cat which may be worth a look.

Actually, I am not aiming at round 52 with that one.

My arguement has been that the ST is underpowered for a 2.0, and the fact that you can release quite a few ponies with a piece of flexi pipe backs that up.

As I have always said the fact that a 1.6 and 2.0 are even comparable is bad and that is down to an exellent french 1.6 vs a restricted ford 2.0.

By all means the ST has the potential for more power, but in standard form it is rubbish and should be comparable to the 172/182 as standard.

info:

flexi pipe has a 20mm restricted bore on it, while the exhaust is 42mm or something. Performance flexi pipes remove this

Airbox is also crap, hence why the k+n releases on average 11.8bhp

(RR Tests on STOC)

combined: 165+bhp 150ish lb/ft

and it was restriced in an attempt to keep the insurance low

as ford hatches get hit for insurance

i won't bite on the citroen know how to build a car comments

manifold, sports cat, remap cat back and K+N = 185+ bhp 160ish lb/ft

cams and inlet = 205+bhp 170lb.ft but expensive

Op: look at the pics from my blue one further up the page, if its not clear i will get a pic of current set up and post

you can compare a 1.0 to a 2.0 if you want....

anything is comparable.

Im not overly bothered about having to spend Â£200 to break 15bhp from my car, I've said it before, I use my car to go to work. I can safely overtake, I do like modding hence why I will fit a flexipipe, but its not because im scared of being thrashed. im 26.

Worrying about a 1.6 tu nearing my powerband or a renaultsport clio pooning my ass with its sheer might never enters my head when trying to get passed two wagons doing 40 in a 60.

me and adam love our ST's dont we adam? until meilack sells it for another car next month

i do love my ST, i was stuck in traffic for 2.5 hours today and it was thoroughly pleasant, and the standard exhaust popped on demand

this one seems so much better then my blue one, which is odd :hmm:

i do like the st they are a nice car,they could of come with more power from the factory but then the insurance group would be higher as for the cilos yes they may be faster and i looked at a few 182 with my brother in the end he chose the st because he thought it was better bulit and nicer to drive and 2bh i argee,i cant comment on the c2 because i have never drove one but if it handles like the saxo vts/106 gti then i bet its a nice car to drive,i have always a soft spot for a c2 gt they do look nice but are a bit 2 small in the boot depermant for my liking,thats not to say im slagging the car off though
