sounds better on a v6 :wink:

Got a local exhaust place near you? Far better option than the overpriced tat that is Milltek
-
just buy the exhaust on ebay for £411 and fit it yourself? saves labour at a garage? Roadrunner have decent prices....well what i consider to be desent, i think Supersprint are over priced IMO
-
awesome-gti prices are good, but only if you are prepared to wait 3 weeks :-) yes im still bitter.

The place near me in Cardiff is yes :smiley: A lot depends on the quality of steel they use and how good they are at welding.
The system on my MK4 was second to none; Nick @ R-Tech will confirm that :wink:

Back in 2009 it cost me £300 fitted for the cat back with an Anni Style tip.
-
phoned them yesterday for duplex system for r32 rear and it was £480
-
I agree Milltek are way too expensive now :cry: However I got mine at a show for much less and I love it. The sound is spot on IMO just right.
The problem with custom is as said hit and miss on the quality of the steel and welds, also custom never seems to look quiet OEM or made for the car IMO.
I had a issue with the fit on mine - it was fitted by TSR and Milltek refitted and sealed it with brand new stainless steel clamps for Free.
-
I have a company near me that does custom made exhausts, called TOPGEAR, and they quoted me £359 inc VAT, and fitting for a cat back twin tail pipe. It also comes with a lifetime guarantee, and that is for whoever owns the car it is on, not just the first owner of the exhaust. :smiley: So as soon as I can afford one, I am getting a custom made one, as the company's reputation near me are very good, and I don't think other named makes like Miltek do guarantees that cover's who ever owns the car it is on!
-
So if I was going to try and get a quote on a full performance system on my 1.8T what specs would you tell the garage you wanted? :smiley:

Pro Speed in Cardiff who did mine do a similar scheme but I think you pay like a transfer fee of around £50 should the car go to a new owner :undecided:

I have a custom built Longlife system, cost around £395 for catback and £350 for the 200 cell sports cat, sounds awesome though
Awesome GTI - been over 2 weeks even waiting for a reply for my THS Intercooler, no one calls you back and I have paid a hefty deposit!!
-
One's the 4mo system
2nd one is the R32 style system
and i take it the 4mo system would fit a 1.8t as a straight swap or is it different in any way?

Sorry - to clarify they are both 'style's'.
If you were to fit the exhaust directly from a 4mo or R32 then it wouldn't fit.
Milltek do those 'styles' to directly fit the 1.8T
-
longlife down here wanted £80 just for the 2 tips that im after to fit r32 rear that was on top of the quote they gave me so buy a system from them and then pay more for the choice of tip you want erm yeah ok :grin:
-
Yeah they only have a selection of standard tips and then the rest you pay more for, think mine was a 3 or 3.5 in slash cut one :smiley:
I posted a pic of it here http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=76966.5370 - doesnt look too bad and they did the cut out, good lads at the one up here near me, have helped me out with loads
-
looks pretty good mate powerflow on the other hand you get to choose your tip and its in with the price and is £150+ cheaper than everywhere else and iv used the chap thats fits them loads of times and he is pretty good again they come with lifetime warranty etc
-
imo i'd pay for a name that has something to stand up to as long as they have a reputation as a good supplier :nerd:
-
Well the guy at Longlife mentioned that Longlife make/supply for a big name thats been mentioned here, how true that is I dont know :lipsrsealed:

In my opinion Awesome GTI are just another company that doesn't care and just in it for the money.

Dalo - have you paid for the full lot inc PCR pipe? THS say they are out of stock on their website...
-
Well, lets start at the beginning, saw THS said no stock available and rang awesome after a few emails they said they can get it and I paid a £200 deposit, now waiting and waiting to know what's happening lots of calls and people meant to be calling me back which haven't, it did say on the THS site that they are on shutdown between the 9th and 20th awesome didn't know this until I told them :angry:
So still waiting...
