PS Don't like the milly sound on the R32, it loses something !


....But have you heard a Milltek on a R32 Mk4?

That's what we called it, the trade/copywright name is "Valvetronic"  :happy2:

I have the above mentioned BCS TBE Valvetronic ("Powervalve!") system, very happy with it, bought it as I did not want a Milltek on my car and I wanted to be different, plus it was the 1st Powervalve TBE fitted a MK5 GTI  :happy2:

I know exactly what you mean !

However I am now considering either changing my exhaust tipps to 4inch size to fill the holes up a bit and also doing the flapper mod.

I am also in the processor considering getting a blueflame exhausts, as they look better than stock, rev more freely and the sound is very near to stock !

Still considering tho as the standard sound track is sexy.

PS Don't like the milly sound on the R32, it loses something !

I've already done the flapper mod and it does improve the noise at low revs/speed.

And like you I'd like to just change the tips for something a bit bigger. I don't want any extra noise just improved looks! :D

i love milly and decat sounds very nice :) im looking into the new milltek range

similar to the powervalve but theyre going to offer two versions, one controled by vaccum so like the powervalve will open full on full throttle and the other is electronic i believe you can either open it up to what you like or have it set to automatic. see them at inters thia yearr.

I think the term powervalve is a bit misleading... unless it does actually give you a power boost when the valve is open...  :confused:

I've called milltek to see when will they be releasing this valvetronic exhaust & the guy from milltek quoted that it ain't for vw, only for Audi & mercs at the moment

....Milltek make all VWR's exhausts. However, as VWR are now in bed with APR I don't know if VWR will only supply APR exhausts from now on.

My Milltek supplied by Milltek, is a shallow box version:

....But have you heard a Milltek on a R32 Mk4?

Yes it does sound good but a res is more quieter then stock, a non res is too boomy and losing a bit of that rasps sound which I love.

on my tdi i got turbo back milltek exhaust on mine.The reason i went with them is they  have a good net work of dealers which i can go to for warranty work if needed--only slight issue i have is the rear box should be the slimmer version so its hidden behind the bumper
