Milltek Cat Back

[Jay1990]

So apart form the not having the adaptor, how hard was it/will it be to fit? Would a novice be able to do it? Im guessing you have to cut the original exhaust off? Would the cat back make any noticble power gains? Wouldnt of thought so but my Milltek Cat Back on my FiestaZS made a little bit.

Just had mine fitted by awesome yesterday because i couldn't be bothered doing it myself, needed a service regardless.

took them about 30mins to replace it with the catback, it feels a little more responsive to be honest.

The standard system is dropped off the hangers and the join where the back box and the mid-section slide into each other just needs to be twisted to break the seal and then it slides off.

When I have used reducers in the past I have always used some exhaust adhesive to make sure there tight, when fitting the new system. The new one slides into place and then you hang it back up.

The joins may not look 100% tight but metal expands and retracts with heat so when it gets hot it seals itself.

I've got a cat back but far to quite has any one done oat to make it louder.

i had the same problem, mine was quiet, got louder once downpipe and sports cat with re-map was fitted more turbo and a little burble grunt

 

[MARKG_BOC]

I thought of that option but two many problems soon as you have that done.

I know when I had a miltek cat back on my fiesta (same tail pipe as the one used on this) It was pretty quiet to start with but It did get louder and more throaty as the miles clocked on to do with the metal expanding.

When you come to putting your milltek on do you have to cut original exhaust to get it off as there is a bar in way?

 

[jc_boc]

Yes you do iirc.

 

[MARKG_BOC]

What did they do put like a sleeve on it after cutting it

 

[jc_boc]

Weld it lol. Need a skilled welder though tbh.

If I ordered the Milltek cat-back, would I be able to take it just to my local car maintenance garage to get it fitted? Be honest with me ... is it worth forking out nearly £550 or would I be better looking at other options?

I noticed on Awesome GTI website, they have a Scorpion 'Red Power' system for sale ... any reviews or comments about it?

Scorpion used my car to develope an exhaust on it and I wasn't impressed its quite and smaller bore

What about the Miltek system? What is the overall opinion / view on it? Worth the money or not?

 

[MARKG_BOC]

If you going for looks then yea But if you wanting a louder sound then no

 

[Deleted member 49882]

I like the look of the Miltek, but would also want a more 'raspy' sound ... I would have thought by now that more manufacturers would have developed an 'off the shelf' system for the 1.4 tsi

Wonder if there is any milleage going down the custom route? My fear would be that you end up with a half-botched out system.

If you want it louder you would need full system milltek exhaust and remap then talking a rip of price £1200
