Title: PICO exhaust?
Post by: smitty12 on 25 March 2010, 19:15

I've been looking around for a Miltek cat-back non-res exhaust, the cheapest ive found so far is £361 from revolution.

I had a look in a few other places local to me.

Motor world suggested a PICO system? tbh ive never hurd of them? does anyone know if they are good? Price was around £280.....

Any advice would be great  :smiley:

i had a peco one on my first escort, i thought it sounded nice but i'd never hada exhaust before that so didn't have anything to compare it to (i'd also like to say i knew nothing of cars when i bought that escort)  :embarassed: (and i still knew nothing when i bought 2 rover 220's :embarassed: :embarassed:)

so any advice from me is pretty void  :laugh: :grin:

if you look on ebay there is a ebay special works out for 220 or so delivered, twin tailpipes, 2.5 inch bore, so not the best for power but not sure if the miltek is bigger bore than that?

I just had a flash-back to mid/late 90's car park sessions.  Everyone loved the escort van with the big subz!

why does it have to be Milltek??

Why not find an exhaust place that uses T304 stainless steel and get one made up

good point,

Ive just read good things from Miltek

So what would you need for a custom made? and roughly what price can they come in at?

I had my turbo back fitted for £300.  When I was at R-Tech, Nick commented on how well made it was  :smug: :smug:

You'll have to find a powerflow/related dealer close to you.

Closest to me was Leeds.

But tbh i'd just buy a 2nd hand miltek, cheaper and you know its spot on and its sellable when it comes.
