VERY NEWBIE INDEED

[ceejay.robinson]

I have lived in the USA most of my life, but for personal reasons find myself now living in the UK.

I remember the day I first saw one of these gorgeous RCZ's in the local Sainsbury's car park, I fell in love immediately.

We didn't have them is the USA, in fact we don't have any French cars, mores the pity. Anyway, to cut a longish story short I just bought a low mileage '13 model 156.

While the power is adequate, I would like to improve the situation marginally... I'm thinking about a quad tip cat-back exhaust (more for looks), a cold air induction system and a simple pre-programmed chip.

Can anyone point me in the right direction with recommendations for the source of these upgrades?

All comments are appreciated.

Why not stick a K&N panel filter with the quad exhaust that would almost be a stage 1 & a remap to say 190 preferably on a rolling road if possible will greatly improve the power

Thank you.
I'm going to try Longlife Exhausts in Plymouth.

Welcome You have chosen an iconic car. I hope you have years of trouble free enjoyable motoring from your new ride.
The exhaust centres I know of are all round Yorkshire, so not much good for you really.
I think from reading on here over the years, a remap is a better way to go than a race chip, but I have heard arguments both ways.
Enjoy the envious looks at your beautiful car & let’s see some pictures

Hi and welcome, yes your better going down the custom exhaust route than aftermarket back section, if your wanting better sound go for a centre resonator delete.
Some longlife outlets say they can’t do a quad on the RCZ but I know others that have done it.
As for a extra power have the exhaust done then try and find a tuner with a rolling road for a remap it’s the way to go with the 156 it will transform the car.
