Robin, your satin tips look the best by a long way. Makes the others look too fat and makes them look like they come out too far.

Very impressed :happy2:

....Hey! Thanks for the compliment - The tips design is something I suggested to Milltek. I wanted it slimmer and slashed and black, so less in yer face. They had already got a black finish (which I tested previously) but they then improved that to a ceramic. The ceramic is a complete doddle to keep looking clean and doesn't dirty-up so easily anyway. Also the tips don't get so hot if you touch them.

The system does expand its length as much as half-an-inch when hot though - I was surprised to actually see it immediately after a spirited drive.

I'm really looking forward to my louder version!

quick update according to the ttshop...just so the info is in one place should any future member need it.

The price of the DTM R32 x 4 in fibre is £265.68 Inc Vat
The price of this in carbon is £450.00 inc Vat

confusing naming convention there eh...

I have to get myself a new goodyear assymetric as i have bulge in one, then through an MOT, once I've done that I will decide whether to go with this mod.

If it helps your decision if you do buy the rear exhaust trim:

You could wrap a fibreglass one in either plain black vinyl or carbonvinyl. The rears don't tend to suffer from stone chips etc.

I think that, apart from available money, it depends what other cosmetic mods you are planning for your car.

not sure that i want that much expense, I will stick with my quads for now and if money allows after the MOT see if Rich's quad c/f insert is still available. If not I will just stick with it and go for some springs and a remap (which I can get for the same money, practically).

Hi Rich,

As a guide, providing that the item for sale is in good condition, I usually sell things for 50% of their original price plus any shipping costs.

Then I'd say someone would get a very good deal if they bought it from you.
