Really poor video but you can kinda hear it here. I've got a non res milltek too and the sunroof was open so there's a few other noises going on.
It's actually a lot louder in real life, mic doesn't really pick up the sound properly.


Something sounds amazing, not sure if it's your miltek or the intake! Is that the engone management light on?  :scared:
You don't really hear the exhaust until you start getting properly on it. If you drive around normally changing gear at like 3k you'll hear boost building and you'll get a nice BOV sound as you change gear.

Have to admit the exhaust sounds more epic though!


Yeah the engine management light is on, currently having some issues with fueling which is proving to be a bit of a headache as I've now changed the HPFP for one with autotech internals, the fuel filter and the LPFP...

Wash, whatever it is that makes that noise at 1:07, that's exactly what I want! It's that air noise, I NEED THAT!

Thanks Maxitrol!

I got myself a set of Depo Projectors and a 5000K HID kit and fitted them today, looks way better!


They could do with a tiny bit of adjustment to make the fit slightly better, but that's a job for another day :signLOL:

PS, the bottom part of my grill is currently off the car as I'm fixing magnets to it to make my plate removable :laugh:

Thanks a lot buddy! What kit do you have and is yours notched? My chassis actually touches the floor :signLOL:
Deffo do it, I should have done it ages a go! They look 10x better, and the light output with a HID kit is incredible :happy2:

Im running Air-ride system UKs set up at the moment, had it in my MK4 then when i sold that I kept the system and got new struts, It's not notched, I dont think its even going down that low to need a notch unless you need to do both sides?what fronts have you got? A set of deps have gone up for sale near me (Im in Ireland) and im expecting a bit of money in the next few days so I think ill buy them if there not gone in time  :smiley:

A few changes have been made, starting with the number plate. I stuck magnets on the rear of the lower grill, and some on the back of my shortened plate, really pleased with the outcome!


I also had a custom exhaust made up by the guys at EMP, I asked for something subtle, nothing stupid loud, and they done a great job. They managed to get the tail pipes to be really close to OEM too, they're slightly wider but looks perfect!


Finally, the most important change of all, I got myself some new wheels! I have been looking around for a few months to see what's on offer second hand, but there was nothing really on offer other than poorly looked after reps.. no thanks :grin:
In the end I went back to Caraudiosecurity and they sorted me out with a set of the new style Rotiform BLQs. They're 18", 8.5j et45 all round.



Needless to say, I am over the moon with the outcome, and the service from the guys at Caraudiosecurity is spot on; flawless!

Yeah, well me and my Dad done them together, didn't take too long :smiley:
Thanks a lot, this is how it will remain now, I'm considering removing the rear wiper and getting a glass grommet though!

I've been tempted by a Forge Twintake for quite some time now, so that could well be the next thing to happen if one comes up second hand! :laugh:
