Can anyone tell me whether a rear non resonated milltek back box for the standard exhaust or do you have to cut and weld it??
-
If you wanted to change only your rear silencer for a Milltek one then you'd need to cut your original but would require a reducer as there will be at least 1/4 inch difference in pipe diameter.
-
Well I was hoping that wouldn't be the answer. There is a rear box for sale on e at but can't justify spending money if that's the case.
-
your original zorst is in two sections, a milltek catback (with reducer) will replace the rear section, i cannot see why you would cut this
miltek rear sections are in two parts to reflect silencer options
-
The standard exhaust should be in 1 piece right to where it joins in the tunnel under the handbrake area.
The Milltek is usually a centre section then a rear section joining at the rear axle area.

This is the item thats for sale, I assume its quite a bit of work for not much increase??
-
Anythings possible but you'd need some additional pipework made to make it fit.
Some exhaust places could probably make you a pipe and fit it for £50 or so.
You'd gain a bit more noise without the rear silencer but no power gains.
-
just buy mine and have done with it
-
I want it but can't justify that amount at the moment as potentially going to be selling it due to buying a project house. I'm tempted to get it remapped and an exhaust before I do albeit will probably make me keep it.
-
that is just the end section of the race system (without silencers), you can see from here what you are missing

can anyone with a milltek confirm just how loud the res vs non res is?
-
YouTube is ya friend here mate, there are loads of comparison vids on there.
-
test drove 2 cars with resonated milltek - absolutely no difference to standard IMO apart a slightly better note. i wouldnt waste my money on a resonated system on this car (unless your de-catting it as it will be louder without the cat)
non resonated is slightly louder and sounds much nicer and saves 10kg.
-
The chrome or black tailend bits are missing off that eBay sale aswell
Waste of money buying that IMO
It will not fit upto or onto the original exhaust without a lot of work,
And for no gain whatsoever, id get a full non res or keep your existing one :wink:
