Like previous posts, I 'm glad I took the advise of the guys at the place I had our Revo done, they said an exhaust was a waste of time unless more 'worthwhile' mods were done.

I'm a great believer in changing the exhaust manifold to improve things, but less so with the rest of the system.
£ for £ I wouldn't say the exhaust system produces enough of a benefit to make it worthwhile - unless the one being taken off the car needs replacing, in which case if you intend keeping the car in which case get something like the Milltek.

I ave to disagree, my father has a remapped FR (same map) as well (he's slowly building my car but a facelift) and the Milltek helps the spool up quite a bit and improves drive-ability.
Anything with less back pressure will quicken up spool times.
I'm led to believe its the backbox on the TDI's that are most restrictive, so spend £100 getting it chopped out and hey presto
Easy way to save £250!!

Just as ChrisGTL says above. The only real performance difference between a Milltek,stock or any exhaust 99% of the time is just the back box as the exhaust has to still travel down the same path. I think i am right in remembering that the Milltek i had fitted on my PD Ibiza Cupra and my Audi was only about 1mm max extra internal diameter which will make sod all difference really.
On a 40mm ID straight pipe that would be just over an extra 5% flow area, but there's a hell of a lot more to gas flow through an exhaust than the cross sectional area of the pipe, I should know I spent a year studying it and that was still just an introduction to fluid flows.
well i have had my first real chance to play with the car since i had the full system fitted and i am glad i got it fitted. feels so so so much quicker at accelorating and i love the noises the car makes with the turbo now people keep looking at you when your going through town. i had a section of road i use for benchmarking my cars speed its a dualcarraige way and half way down is a bridge, i like to see how fast i can go when i get to bridge, well with new exhaust i beat my old speed by 20mph!! its only shortish bit of road. really impressed. If i could go back to before i got system fitted guess what I would buy it again !!! very pleased with it.
