Post by: rench on 28 March 2012, 19:59
just had a milltek exhaust fitted no resonated on my golf anni and it sounds pritty much the same as the standard exhaust, will it get any louder after a week or 2 driving it or will it stay the same?

I've a full no res Milltek and it sounds completely different to a standard 1.8T Anniversary exhaust. Really beefy sound when you want it. It sounds absolutely immense in tunnels too.

Give it a good few miles and I'd say it'll start to change. I'll try get you a video of how mine sounds at the moment.

Large bore down pipe and sports cat. I think the decat can sound a bit dirty/broken.

It's the down pipe and sports cat that makes the performance difference. Bloody expensive though.
