milltek cat back for fr tfsi

I've got a Milltek cat back off an Ed30 Golf on my FR. It has slightly larger tailpipes (80mm instead of 76.5mm if I remember correctly), it also has a different design tailpipe as well.

I initially went for the resonated version but if anything it was queiter than the OEM, recently I've put the non-res pipe on and its much better (and still subtle), I do a lot of motorway miles and didn't want a boomy system. You can only really tell its different to OEM when pressing on, no loud idle like the saxo, corsa guys.

Here's a pic:

thanks rob. yeah think non-res might be the way to go then. plus its a good bit cheaper than the res version-about the cost of a good panel filter cheaper actually. pic looks good, did the ed 30 system work ok with the fr? have you gotten any power gains?

The Ed30 works great on the FR, it needed minor adjustment to fit (which included extending the tailpipes), but this was done at JKM in under an hour.

As for power increases I'm told that the cat back won't give you any bhp increase maybe better throttle responce thats about it.

Its worth it for the sound (non-res) and looks alone, everytime I see standard FR pipes now they look like peashooters!
