Title: Anniversary Back box
Post by: grahamster on 11 February 2009, 21:16: I'm considering changing my standard back box on my 1.8t for an OEM anniversary back box. I know I will need to change the valance. Has anyone else done this mod ? is the anniversary exhaust louder than a standard discrete exhaust ? Cant really justify spending £300 ish on a miltek.... Yet :rolleyes:

Post by: Max GTI on 12 February 2009, 11:13: Hello grahamster

I dont think the sound is any louder than the normal one, you only notice it if you rev it and when it comes back down last 2000 rpm it makes a nice noise. Id save for a Miltek dude :smiley:

I've got an OE Anni back box which I never bothered fitting if you're interested? It had only done about 27k, IIRC. (The tailpipe has been shined up so it looks very nice indeed). ;)

Ivor Send me a pic if you can, intersted in the back box. How much would you want for it ?

Just priced up a genuine rear anniversary valance £300 :shocked: Going to have to search fleabay.

Miltek is sooo tempting though.

Post by: Pete H on 13 February 2009, 23:00: balls why didnt i see this post before, ive been looking for a anni backbox for ages, even put a wanted post up!!!

Ive got the 4motion rear milltek and wanted the anni style, milltek didnt answer my emails so was hoping someone would swap with me.

If you wanted milltek mate, id buy the box off ivor and you could have mine if you wanted, with the 4motion valance aswell, as i already have a unpainted anni valance.

To be honest mate i havent a clue if it's reso or not, how will i tell? It's pretty quiet, but you know it's got a stainless on if you know what i mean. It's 4motion style, so twin pipes, if you look in the cars for sale section you'll see it there. :wink:

Ivor thanks for those, as asked, how much? Ill need this in my hands before i sell my milltek to be honest. If it hasnt sold already?!?!
Title: Re: Anniversary Back box
Post by: T_J_G on 21 February 2009, 17:22: I reckon based on guessing £70 ish is about fair.

Post by: Pete H on 21 February 2009, 17:50: so basically they either have a centre box or not, lol

which has nothing to do with the back box!!
Title: Re: Anniversary Back box
Post by: grahamster on 21 February 2009, 18:14: I'm still interested in your miltek, if you decide to sell let me know.

I got a price from the dealer for an anniversary back box, it was £101, but that was with my special discount :wink: (i'm in the trade)

I think they retail at arround £140-£150
