Miltek Exhaust

[Mikey_H]

mine is a non res from the turbo back no cat and as i ran the standard exhaust with my turbo fitted but once i fitted the exhaust it soundsawasome and i did notice it is more responsive and pulls slightly better

hello mate long time no speak as i have been off the forum a bit, hows the car with the turbo now?? have you had it rr'd??

Hi All,

can't belive this thread has come back up again haha seems so long ago i started this,
my advice is get a non res because mine unless i'm flooring it sounds standard and when i just had the cat back it sounded standard untill you planted it then you got a deep grumble now when i floor it it sounds like an airoplane lol also non res is cheaper i was told not to have the downpipe on a standard 130 turbo as it puts to much strain on the turbo and may lead to reliability issues but i don't know thats 100% correct and don't bother putting a sports cat on they don't need one to pass an mot apparently so why waste the money i got my dp and de-cat fitted for like £170 should imagine a sports cat would cost nearly that on its own.

^^ Yeh the sports cats are really expensive £270 actually. Ive just changed to a decat now though so Ive got a spare milltek if anyone is interested?

You can't find a decent price? What kind of price where you thinking? Most of the site sponsors have them at a decent price.

There are shops on eBay that sell Milltek exhausts (Roadrunner Motorsports for one) , but they're slightly more expensive than our forum sponsors.

maybe i was expecting it to be less then it is then, but all i can find is round the £500 mark, is this about right?

 

[Willsy33]

Anywhere between £450 and £500 is about right for a Mk2 Leon 2.0 TDI FR.

You might want to try posting in the Leon Mk2 section though and see what prices other Leon owners have paid.

cheers mate, i mean i only want the backbox section, would that make a difference?

 

[Willsy33]

That price was for the cat-back system.

You could always get a custom one made up which will save you a bit of money. Horses for courses really!!

Honestly though, best bet would be to ask in the Leon section as there will be guys who have the Milltek and guys who have a custom exhaust to answer any questions.
