They sorted me a 10% discount, but £334 is still a hell of a lot more than £280!! :(

I'm in a similar predicament with mine, in that i think Milltek are MASSIVELY overpriced. I have always gone custom in the past, and you can get a full system for the same money as a milltek cat-back. This time i'd rather have a straight bolt-on rear box (cat-back) so that i can swap it when the time comes to selling.  :smiley:

Has anyone had experience with SporteX? I had one on my old E36 BMW and it was smart for the money - they're much cheaper as the majority of it is mild steel and just the tips are stainless. Unless your planning on keeping the car for 40 years or taking pictures of the underneath then stainless can be a poinless expense IMO.

Quick question to save raising another thread

Which Milltek gives the best power gain of the 3 styles

R32
Single exit
Double exit

Are they all the same?

Try a few forums and see if anyone is selling or break.

I bought my full turbo exhaust off a member on here for a day light robbery price.
