| Anybody recomend milltek? Quite tempted by a cat back system at the moment.. They seem expensive to me but if they are as good as they try to make out they are then i guess worth it. A cat back system for the audi is a little over 500 notes for a non resonated and add on about 50 ish quid for a resonated. Obviously the cheaper non resonated is favourite or is resonated better? I know its quieter resonated but not sure if thats the only difference. | |

| I got a full miltek on my highline and with the magnex catbypass resonator it sounds fecking gorgeous. It fitted first time, the build quality is second to none. If you fit it yourself then make sure you have new clamps (stainless) and if you have to cut it use a thin disc as it will destory thick ones in no time. Yes is the short answer. | |

| Yeah will be fitting it myself so will look into stainless clamps. Hope i wont have to be cutting it about though less than ideal on a 500 pound exhaust | |

| I had to cut about two inches off of the centre pipe as mine was meant to fit a jetta/vento too. It was a first time fit too. Worth every single penny in my opinion. I paid £375 plus the bypass at £100 about 5 years ago. Nice noise, not too loud but enough rip in it when you hit the loud pedal. | |

| Am looking at a price list and turbo back isnt listed for my car. Only has high flow sport cat and the back half of the system. The high flow cat on its own is over 700 EDIT: just read it clearer and when they say high flow sports cat they mean full system but stuff that. Cant afford a grand for an exhaust.. might just go for the cat back on its own. | |

| lazy tbh there is no point spending that much or buying an exhaust unless you looking for big power gain i.ein tube with bigger turbo etc. There will always be something faster anyway | |

If you mean for your Fabia VRS. diesels don't need a cat for an MOT they only measure soot level. There is quite a few decatted Fabia VRS on BriSkoda that pass MOT fine running the decat pipe | |

| All the guys over on gtigti.co.uk and ukmkiv's use milltek almost exclusively. As people have said before the turbo back pipe is the most restrictive part in the system. As for diesel's the de-*cat* pipe from turbo back is still the most restirctive part, and some guys on there don't even bother with the rest of the system. Try here for prices http://www.r-techpower.co.uk/r-tech-producs.phpGolfgti.co.uk use these guys A LOT | |

| have a milltek turbo back de-cat on mine and really cant fault it, the whole system really does look like brilliant quality, went on with any trouble at all, sounds the part and really performs well too.
althought iv heard of a few systems being not so good quality and end up blowing after a little while.
personally i think their brilliant. | |

| On my last 1.8t i went to A14 tyres and exhaust's in bury and had a custom powerflow system made. I was really happy with the service and the sound of the exhaust | |
