If its a louder roar, then the internals have initially failed and its just like another pipe in your exhaust stream.
Check your catalytic converter.
There should be no noises near your catalytic converter on your Renault Clio. If there is a noise there is most likely a part that is loose on the converter or near the converter. It may not necessarily be the converter. I would chech around the area also for other noises.

It s illegal to remove a catalytic converter.
It will use more fuel if you remove the catalytic converter.

It's not up to you, when to "make the catalytic converter to work"!... The catalytic converter will provide the chemical reaction alone only @ 400 > degree, no options! See/Google "how it works" and that will help you understand how and why!

the balloons that make noise is called screamers
