Title: Exhaust options......again
Post by: sprout99 on 01 November 2011, 08:17: Discrete but resonated or non resonated?

Has anyone fitted a scorpion cat back system?

I know milltek are very popular.

Thanks
Ian

I had a Milltek decat and then had a Prospeed cat back fitted (they are a Cardiff exhaust place)

don't want loud anyway - had noted that TDi doesn't have centre box anyway.

scorpion and milltek are both made in Derby ...... :undecided: only difference is back box size

milltek is longer and narrow
scorpion short and fat.

I don't want loud - a bit more free revving i'm not expecting a massive difference

Post by: Rhyso on 01 November 2011, 09:55: I had my Anni valence cut

Ideally it should be tucked up a little further but I was happy with it

CAT is the most restrictive part of the system so I'd get it replaced whilst its up in the air

Steve_PD has a complete Milltek turbo back system and its not loud until you boot it; you can't hear it cruising around

Post by: sprout99 on 01 November 2011, 13:36: i'll stick with cat back for now.

£280 delivered to my work - do not waste money on the resonated one which is extra £50
sounds awesome - not too loud but nice burble

lovely bit of kit TBH

got a pipercross panel filter - mpg's are up by 10%

:nerd:

Title: Re: Exhaust options......again
Post by: sprout99 on 10 January 2012, 11:04: nothing major

Title: Re: Exhaust options......again
Post by: craigyb on 10 January 2012, 15:15: did you decat at the same time or still on the standard cat?, thanks
