265 Exhaust trim on the 275

  1. Anyone know if the exhaust trim on the 275 is exactly the same as the 265, apart from looking carbon?
    Was thinking about getting mine dipped but might just be as easy to buy a 275 one from Renault.

    The carbon trim on the 275 is the Akrapovic trim piece, Not a renault item.

    Streamline do a carbon surround but their quality is a bit questionable to say the least and their prices are ridiculous
     
  3. Jamie,
    Is the Akrapovic trim carbon and hence as expensive as the Streamline one?
     
  4. Worry not, just got a price for it from Ads and it's insane !

    Im surprised they sell it separate, Whats the price on it out, Curious if it is as ridiculous as i think it will be


    The Streamline one is about £170 IIRC
     
  6. out of interest, just how insane? :cool:
     
  7. A big holy Akrapovic Batman £319..... :eek:
     
  8. Fucking LOOOOOL!!
     
  9. Correction £318 sorry
     
  10. Not surprising really, the system is £1738 to buy complete...
     
  11. I'm I correct in saying the heat shield is that crappy bit of bent metal in the trim, hence I if a buy a normal trim and get it Dipped it won't start melting?

    Yup correct, Although i don't see a stock system or one with the cat producing enough heat or similar to melt.

    Ive had my gloss black trim on for a long time now and it hasn't melted, That includes the copies amounts of flames mine produces as well
     
  13. Cheers Jamie
     
  14. Normal exhaust trim is £114 stick on £40 for it to be dipped and suddenly Streamline don't look to bad. How questionable is their quality/fit jamie?

    I have their carbon diamonds and the lacquer is peeling on them.

    Speak to Mega carbon, Im sure they will be able to do them cheaper.
     
  16. well the centre part of the system alone is £2664.48
     
  17. Bloody hell, is that what Renault charge for it Ads!? :eek:

    It makes the £1738 cost for complete exhaust from K-Tec seem quite reasonable :tongueout: lol

    Oh and the waiting times are a joke, Im sure i was 4/5 weeks for the Diamonds.


    Ads, That is mental. How can Renault justify adding so much on to the price of them
     
  19. Spray yours yourself Jamie?
