Im going to get mine sorted in the next few months. Going to get a custom turbo back system from Custom Pipes in Doncaster, which will probably be LESS than a cat-back system from the over-priced Miltek range

soz mite be sounding like a complete idiot...but iv never really understood what a turbo back exhaust was? what does it have that the normal lets say milltek systems dont?

Turbo back is the exhaust system that starts from the turbo, So a bigger downpipe.
A better cat and then the rest of the piping.

A cat back is normally just a steel pipe from the cat to the tailpipe, Normally offers little or no performance gain

As its custom it varies, but from what mates have paid for similar systems, 4-600 for a full Stainless steel system

I have got a Milltek cat back only (for now!) on I love the slight burble it makes but I would never have forked out for one but Awesome GTI were doing a ridiculous sale on them so went for it. I wouldn't pay for Milltek brand unless you find one on offer. Also it is not loud but I can't stand loud exhausts would do my head in as it is my only car but that's just my opinion.

A custom exhaust place will be able to make you a system to your needs. With an off the shelf system like the Milltek the work has been done for you... but it might not be what your after! A good custom place will probably do a good job, its just a case of finding one with a good reputation local to you.

I was lucky and found a Powerflow catback going cheap on eBay...
