The Mégane II Owners' Club

My Meggie CC is just over 7 years old now...and I've had her for about 4-5 years.
AFAIK the exhaust has never been replaced (certainly not in my ownership) and I wondered if this is quite normal.?
Does it have any stainless steel element to it.?
Be interested to hear of other owners experiences.?

As far as I know they are mild steel. My car is 7 years old and still running the original exhaust. I suppose if the engine was n't getting up to full temperature - lots of 2-4 mile journeys it would corrode due to the condensation that would form inside. I suppose long exhaust life makes up for the cost of the window regulators-NOT!

Probably regret saying that when the exhaust starts blowing tomorrow!!

Megane II exhausts are made of stainless steel.

Thanks for that, Anthony...seems logical.
My Hubby's Classic Volvo V70 is 13 years old now and STILL on it's original S/S exhaust.!!

It's not proper stainless, it's a cheap watered down version.
