This hasn’t gone unnoticed by the Slovenian exhaust specialist Akrapovic, which has applied its usual treatment to the muscular Clio. The company offers two exhaust systems for the vehicle: an entry-level slip-on one and an extreme Evolution version. As we’re pretty greedy when it comes to performance, we’ll focus on the latter in this piece of news.
The system includes a stainless steel link pipe with an integrated resonator, two stainless steel mufflers and two carbon-fiber tailpipes.
Installing the new toy on your 200 hp Clio means that you’ll get an 8 hp (at 4,300 rpm) and 13 Nm (at 4,200 rpm) output increase, as well as a menacing soundtrack that will enhance your driving experience. In addition to that, the system is 7 kg lighter than the factory stock one.
Here’s how the tuner describes its latest product: “With the Akrapovic Evolution exhaust system the Clio RS accelerates more smoothly, and has power gains in a broad power range. These are most noticeable between 2,000 and 6,000 rpm. The engine, which is already primed for high-rev action, spins even more effectively, which in practical terms means that it’s noticeably more responsive. The power increase is also accompanied by a significantly sportier sound that will give you the feeling that you’re in the middle of a Clio Cup race. The beat when letting off of the gas is especially thrilling,”
