Exhaust recommendations

[golf nutter]

what stainless steel cat or turbo back systems would folk recommend please?  standard exit would be required.  i see a full milltek system is something like over £1k, so i wondered what else people have experience of?  a decent, deep, loud sound would be good...coming from the lovely sound of a scooby, i might be asking a bit much with that

Milltek & Blueflame are the choice of most on here.

Miltek=
Blueflame.......

I heard a blueflame at GTI inters and I was impressed...however if you want the OEM sound the miltek all day!

I have a number of hybrid Blue Flame cat back systems available at £795.00 for a short while longer
Kit includes the BCS downpipe and motor sport cat - we also supply a larger front silencer to take the noise down slightly - the overall sound balance is spot on over the stock pipe.
Have a listen here...

Nige....may i just say how much you deserve to be proded in the eye for posting that lovely sound up   
That sounds amazing! Wich unlucky person had to hang out the boot to video it

I have an MV sports TBE, really well made product and customer service was second to none. Think their website is MVpors-tuning. A guy called mike. I'm in essex and your more than welcome to come and hear it. I paid 900 for it and he threw in a panel filter

I have the APR RSC full 3" Turboback and wouldn't take any other. Due to pricing people on here tend to go for local product, but the RSC technology has no competition IMO.

Is APR as good as people say? Only reason I ask is someone said the APR HPFP is totally redesigned, when I looked closer its the same hitachi that we all have, apart from an APR sticker on the side!
This isn't a dig more of a question to gain knowledge!

The RSC box removes the drone sound from inside the car whilst doing constant speeds on te motorway. This system has the sound of the for example non res Milltek, but not the noise inside the car. The RSC is wife approved 
If you get a chance, jump in a car with it fitted, a couple on here has it fitted

Was that mine by any chance?

Thanks for the praise Jack - You know I won't rest until the world wants the BCS system - 
So Get your Pennies out Nige
The gift horse is nudging the gate open and about to make a run for it.
Coincidently I also designed the MV system which is the same as my BF system but with the hard edged trims.
Our downpipe and cat is modified from the stock BF version and I am installing a larger centre silencer to balance the appeal to a greater audience.

Funny enough, I would like smaller end pipes!! Nige, out of curostiy why has the MV got no back box when the milteks do!?

Well firstly smaller end pipes are not a problem - we can change the 90mm for twin 76mm if required for you.
With regard to the rear section - it's all about maximising the gas flow rate.
Here's an image of the Milltek rear on our MK 5  when we purchased it -



As you can see the gasses are diverted all around the boot well and then into a baffled silencer - great for reducing sound - not so great for releasing pressure on the little KO3 after mapping.
We introduce a straight through silencer at the front of the system to negate the need for a rear transverse silencer at the back. This way the pipes can run fluidly without hindrance right from the turbo to the back of the car.
