Milltek question ?

[Sunglasses Ron]

Bit of a delay on this, but this is pretty much from the horses mouth (not that i'm calling Charlie a horse of course)...  



Hi Ben,

 

Sorry for the delay, I have been away on holiday!

 

We only recommend fitting the downpipe with the centre and rear section.


In testing we have found that the restriction of the OEM system has resulted in premature ageing of the catalyst substrate.

 

All the warranty information / FAQ can be find be clicking the link below

I hope that helps!

 

Many thanks

Same here! Never heard of anyone putting a DP on a standard BB? 

I'm sure vRStu did that on his S3? and it made an impressive improvement when it went on the DD roller at the SRR day last year.

330bhp I think - Revo S1 + DP only.

Not to want to cause an argument between competing suppliers, but the advice received from MV sport today contradicts milltek......

Hi John
 
Thank you for your enquiry regarding an exhaust upgrade for your Golf 5 TFSi.
 
I can confirm that we can provide a sports catalytic converter and downpipe upgrade for your car that will mate onto the standard system. This will enable you to keep and sound difference to a minimum and retail a completely showroom standard look and yet still benefit from the performance increase offered by the downpipe upgrade.
 
The downpipe upgrade costs £xxx including vat and is available from stock. Delivery is £10 including vat.
 
Just for your interest I have attached a copy of our latest press release which gives full details of both our exhaust and software upgrades for your car.
 
If you do need any more information or would like to order, please just ask.
 
Best Regards

So my considered view is that it could last less time, you will have a more difficult job getting it sorted under warranty if it goes wrong, but you don't really need to go the whole hog and buy a complete system. I think I will start with just the downpipe and 100 cell cat, and if money allows upgrade cat back later.

Ben, the Cat back was brought from JKM brand new. Im guessing if you buy just the DP, it'll come with connecting peice.Whereas , i did Catback 1st, then my Bargain Bucket downpipe 2nd, which i purchased a connecting pipe so it would fit.
