RENAULT FUEGO TURBO 1984

[AJX]

Just got an 84 RFT and the whole exhaust is completely shot.
Any advice on a suitable replacement most appreciated.

These guys in the US appear to have one : 1984 Renault Fuego Performance Exhaust Systems | Mufflers, Headers

Is it possible you could have one custom made ? I know some excellent fabricators.

Just found this on ebay : Centre Exhaust Silencer Section for Renault Fuego 1.6 (09/80-07/86) | eBay
rear bit : Renault Fuego 1.6 T R1362 83-86 Exhaust Rear Inter Pipe Spare Part Replace | eBay
front bit : Front Exhaust Down Pipe for Renault Fuego 1.6 (09/80-07/86) | eBay

If you're keeping it i'd suggest visiting somewhere like Pipecraft, the investment in a stainless custom unit that will last the life of the car is worth it.

Hi Andy
Thanks for this great info
Excuse my ignorance - if I buy one of each is that a full exhaust system ?

Hi Alan, it looks like it to me.

I would be tempted to give the vendor a call to double check

 

[AJX]

Many thanks
Will do

As Andy said check with the seller first. Looks like the schematic is

4 parts - not 3 !
Many thanks for the advice - much appreciated
I have sent an email asking the questions

 

[AJX]

Have managed to get 3 of the 4 parts.
Missing piece is the Y pipe.
Scouring the net and would appreciate any guidance

[DaveL485]

Is that the resonator pipe? Whats the y-bit for I wonder, it doesnt look to connect to anything...bizarre.

THE JOURNEY STARTS

Would greatly appreciate some advice re buying the exhaust system for the RFT 1.6 1984
Firstly - is it 3 part or 4 ?
I have got the Silencer section and the front down pipe.
The Renault Fuego 1.6 Turbo 84 Exhaust Rear Inter Pipe was ordered, confirmed by phone, paid for and then cancelled by them 3 hours later.

 

[andybond]

The part listing that Dave supplied would imply it is 4 part from Renault. Most aftermarket / third parties will do it in 3 parts.

Personally I would have one fabricated for me.

Same.

Brave man taking on a Fuego!

Is the headlight half full of water in that last photo?

No - it was all kept perfectly dry in a garage.
