Title: Milltek question
Post by: Madmax on 03 September 2009, 18:20
I've actually searched quite a bit today gathering info & what not. One thing i didn't find out is if the Millteks consist of the full system
that just fits straight on? Or will it need other parts?

Sorry, i'm confused. :grin:
 
Do you mean If i purchased the above (in the link), it bolts on to the existing stock system, & then if i wanted the 'full' system i'd have to purchase what you said.

If that's correct, what sort of gains would you see from bolting it onto the existing system.

that bolts directly to the standard downpipe.  Job done.

BUT the gains are from fitting the downpipe :afro:

I get you now. :smiley:

I was thinking Millteks ain't all that pricey, :grin:

Will there be noticeable gains over stock tho?

not on the cat back system - noise is about it.  Sports cat / downpipe will free up a couple of BHP and some mid range torque

Hit me with a price for the whole shebang then? :lipsrsealed:

What cheaper alternatives are there for the entire system which aren't loud please.

Cheers.

urm not sure on current prices but i'd say you won't get much change out of £750 for the full shebang

how about asking Nick @ R-Tech for a price?

Others to consider are Blueflame - not sure who else makes the sports cat downpipe apart from them or Milltek  :undecided:

Also, Jetex are a quality supplier.  (Fairly quiet, too).

Blueflame are good VFM, too.  :)

Are they still, their diesel exhausts are very expensive, even compared to milltek  :lipsrsealed:

Cheers mate. So if i read that correctly, the after market can (without down pipes) do add to the performance very slightly?

I know on sportsbike that just the end can can add to performance with sharper throttle response etc. :)
