milltek fitted today
« on: December 20, 2011, 05:42:26 pm »
before..



after










pretty happy with it. went for 100mm jet tail pipes.

the system seems really well made and went on no problem - no tweaking required. sounds really good too (non-resonated), not too loud and no drone at all so I'm pleased.

Had a good run yesterday and I'm amazed at the sound quality

On a steady throttle and at cruising speed there is no increase in noise at all.

When you accelerate you get a more aggressive sound but below 3k it's very refined l. My mrs was expecting a boy racer noise but when we went out in it she couldn't tell the difference until I mentioned I'd fitted it.


I can totally reccomend the non-res system.

Awesome werethe cheapest I could find by a good way too.

i wish it had left the factory like that and saved me a few £. does look much nicer now.

no probs Geoff - you need to get one fitted and ditch the 'wheel barrow' tail pipes :wink:

got mine from awesome for £530 or something inc postage which was cheapest i could find.

just waiting for my whiteline bump steer kit from awesome too which was sent out today! happy days.

That looks really smart mate the standard ones are too small and seem to discolour easily. They look amazing! Did you fit it yourself?

thanks. yeah the standard exhaust doesn't do the car any favours. it sticks out too far IMO and is too small really

i fitted the milltek myself. took about an 45-60 mins doing it on the drive and taking my time, siliconing each slip joint and cleaning it up afterwards.

Amazing looking system. Would you still have or be keeping your standard exhaust system?
