Just about to push the button on buying a vw racing catback with the black tips. Has anyone on here got/one, and can offer any plus or minus's. I know its a miltek so the quality is going to be there.
-
i have a complete 3" Milltek race system so downpipe and cat back with Milltek 35 tips I have just taken off my Edition 35 and sat in my garage waiting for the rain to stop so i can complete cleaning it and take some pictures, zorst is just over 15 months old.
The reason I don't have black tips is Milltek had some quality issues with them last year so couldn't supply them and i actually liked the chrome so never bothered changing
Few piccies off Milltek site

The complete system is around £1,400+ depending where you shop
Will be looking for £700 collected from Oxford :wink:
-
Why are you selling!! In terms of sound is there much difference to stock??
-
Don't you need stage 2 to run this exhaust to ensure no warning lights or is this not the case?
-
I fitted a 3" turbo back system 1 week prior to getting the stage 2 map, and it brought my warning light on straight away. The map fixes this! £700 is a bargain! Get it haha

looking at selling the 35 in the new year so decided to take all the performance mods off before Christmas as car doesn't get much use over the winter, i'll take the chassis bits off when i've ordered its replacement
car had a really nice burble and sounded purposeful without being boomy, you need a stage 2 to run the full tbe, catback you can run standard
my car has no map on at the moment and you do miss the midrange

How much?
-
£540!! They're selling 10 on ebay that were due to be exported, but the importer pulled out. So they had these sitting surplus. They're on ebay for £600 buy it now, so I rang and haggled a bit.

Here's the eBay item number-321210189825.

What price is it normally?

Not sure on the normal retail price of the system via VWR as they don't list their prices, although it can be got for £618 delivered from Roadrunner Motorsport and other retailers, same as the VWR system albeit without the 'R' engraved onto the GT100 tail trims, so a decent saving :smiley:
-
£600 is still a fair bit for just the Cat back, hope its sounds good for you as i have heard the VWR system :smiley:

No i think it looks really nice. Im just one of those tight people who wont buy an exhuast brand new as they cost a cost. I buy second hand :cry:
Got my 3" Race Milltek cat back for roughly £200 :rolleyes:
-
I've my received exhaust from vw racing. I thought I was going to be getting the single large back box type. I've got the the dual small box system!! Does this mean it will be any different in sound to the single box as it also has a middle box. Will it be quieter?? I was told it was the non-res (louder) miltek version. Ok , I don't want silly loud, but a nice tone on acceleration. Not had it fitted yet, but curious.

pictures please

What are the part numbers on the system as given it's made by Miiltek it's easy to trace, only the tips will be different
-
Sounds like the 3" system!
Any pics...
-
It sounds like it is the resonated system which has a part number MSVW353, 3" res is similar noise levels to 2.75 non res, the non res 3" is too loud imho
-
I think it is the 3" res system. Bit worried now as I've heard the miltek for the gti is quite refined, which is why I was after the non res. is it much difference between 2.75 and 3"??
-
I think the clue is in the name 3" Race system, my race tbe system I've just taken was slightly louder than th 2.75 non res I ran on my Rocco, also allows you to full exploit Stage 2 code
A mate of mine had a 3" non res cat back on his a Rocco R and was not my cup of tea

Don't quote me on this but I've been looking into these two exhausts and from what I've read is:
The 2.75" system old one sounds great non res and also res if your looking for a quiter standard like system.
The 3" is newer more stealth like fit BUT the non res is too quite this system is best coupled with a downpipe creating the sound and the res keep it from not sounding ridiculous. The 3" non res with no downpipe i don't know I can't find any reviews.
The only review I can find regarding this exhaust refers to the 3" full race system no one has it fitted just catback.
I'd love someone who has the latter fitted to give more info and I'd also like to point out I don't have either fitted and am merely divulging info from the internet.
I'm in the same boat and want a good sounding system but only want to go stage 1 thus in my mind I'm settled on 2.75" non res unless I'm swayed otherwise!

I have the 3" Race with Res and No Downpipe (as of now) Sound is pretty decent, about 15% over stock but is much deeper. Not much happens in low revs, just a nice deep grumble but once you it 4k-7k it comes alive, but it not the sound of a non res - its more deeper and powerful sounding if you no what i mean, its not wharpy and ricey.

Well in that case it sounds exactly what I'm after. Cheers

With reference to a non res 3" system the comments some it up in these two quotes, the Rocco R systems are 3" and share components, so no a non res is not too quiet and needs a down pipe, having experienced the non res cat back the small silencers were an essential tick in the box
A mate of mine had a 3" non res cat back on his a Rocco R and was not my cup of tea
Lee's car was LOUD! :laugh:
Interestingly Milltek only list the 3" system for the 35 but the 2.75 will work fine

+ 1 sounds like what I'm after too, until now never knew of any who had the 3" res fitted. Maybe I need to keep my options open again.
Richie seems you got a great deal then on this from VWR. These are priced around £850 usually!!
-
They're still available at that price mate. That is including delivery. You need to speak to Scott at vw racing and he will sort you out. There were 10 available in stainless or black tips.

I got the full TBE Milltek 3" Race system for £259 on Ebay, Downpipe was damaged so sold that for £160. so really i got the 3" Race Cat back for £100 and it only had 2 small dint's in it......what a bargain :laugh: :laugh:

I was one of the watchers on that!
I din't buy it because the backboxes were slightly dinted (or from the pic they were) and was unsure if that would affect performance!
Suppose my loss is your gain, id of only of bid it up!
-
Can you put any pics of it up Richie, with the R logos etc
Also when you fitting it?
Another review would be fantastic! :smiley:
-
Ok so I've now had time to have a good look in the box. And it's got the 2 larger boxes on the back which I take it means it's the type that meets eu standards. Which means it's going to be really quite???
-
I'm assuming you have the EU ones as this pic, its a rocco system but essentially same components
(http://dfklk0jrz9g9k.cloudfront.net/images/custom/983.jpg)
Not seen these listed in the UK by Milltek stockists sites as been trawling through today to order the adaptor to the OEM pipe for mine
Volume of the silencers is going to give you your answer, have VWR given any comment as none of the pics are of that system on the advert
-
Vw racing have been great to deal with. They were unaware that it was these systems they had a stock of. They've now sourced the smaller twin rear silencer system for me,which is the one I was wanting, and exchanged it for me. The original ebay add has now been altered stating what system they're offering. Big thumbs up for their customer service.

Great news that Sam, Matt and the boys have sorted this so promptly
