Clio Ricardo's Liquid Yellow 200 EDC

Should be fine, it's the Airtec FMIC kit that's now been revised,also with slightly smaller diameter boost pipes for the kit to reduce the lag.
And now selling as a separate item, all new alloy top hard pipes to replace the OE plastic part that cracks. They're designed and made to take the place of the OE top inlet hoses and to join either the OE intercooler or onto the Airtec FMIC kit. They've also deleted the resonator pipe outlet as I personally capped mine off. So now they have that as an option when ordering the top hard pipes.
They're also powdercoating the hardpipe hoses black so they don't stand out as much the alloy. As requested a black intercooler and black silicon hoses to keep inline with the stealth look.

LMK when you are heading up. I am needing a map tweak as well..
100%, its been a while. I'd like it done ASAP and obviously depending on how far RS Tuning are booked up. Ideally within 2 weeks, I'll have to book a day off so ideally Friday or a Monday to make it a long weekend.
That works perfectly for me as well.....
As soon as I have the Clio back I'll give Paul a call to see what's available?
Almost there, alloy top pipes are fitted for product photo for advertising. Mine are away being powdercoated black and should be back and on the Clio by Wednesday. I'm picking it up this Friday, then i'll book it back in with RS Tuning to adjust the map to suit the FMIC. In between all that I need to have the spoiler looked over by the sprayer.
As it's going in for mapping a mate recommended losing the secondary cat, I guess to release obstruction, opportunity for a couple more hp, and a sportier tone in Sport mode. All this using the original exhaust section but simply cutting out the cat then replacing with the same diameter pipe sleeved onto the OE section.
Cue 1 spare exhaust section a mates sending to me for postage costs, a section of pipe from Ebay, and pics showing a before and after. A little bit of PMT!

Well the pipe sleeving is 57mm so yeah that sounds about right
Top boost pipes back from powdercoaters and fitted, the Clio is now back together and ready to be picked up tomorrow. The OE exhaust section has also arrived via couriers, I'll hopefully have the cat removed, sleeved and fitted by the end of next week.

Well, this is a revised setup for Airtec. Engine Dynamics gave them some input to make changes with the kit like reducing the pipe diameter and I think they've changed a couple of bends. The top inlet pipes are a new product from Airtec too, I believe I'm the second person to have them. I imagine hard pipes all the way through with joiners will help what with the reduced diameter.
RS Tuning bolted on their Pro Alloy FMIC only and gained 10hp and IIRC 10ft/lbs torque. So my feeling is that I'm probably hoping for the same if not a little bit more. I might be pleasantly surprised.
