Title: sports cat advice
Post by: GTi-Matt on 31 January 2008, 08:44: ive been quoted the best part of Ã‚£360 for a standard cat with the sensors and it got me to thinking that surely i can get a sports cat 4 the same sort of price? i am getting a miltek soon so might aswel get the sports cat at the same time.

so any advice of the best one and best place to get them from?

I think you've got the most options open to you with Miltek, although I've heard that some combinations may leave a slight 'boomy-ness' at motorway cruising speed.

Centre section - Resonated (silenced) or non-res. (unsilenced).

Tailpipes - Discreet style (modelled on standard system - no need for another rear valance).

- V6 4 Motion style (need 4M valance)
- Anniversary style (need Anni valance (expensive))
- R32 style (need R32 bumper/valance (very expensive!!))

Post by: J5H VW on 31 January 2008, 10:44: Does anyone know if the resonated system would give a good sound, but no boomyness at 70mph?

Would I get tired of a non-res system if I do a lot of motorway miles?

Post by: GTi-Matt on 31 January 2008, 19:35: thanks 4 the advice ivor, i was going to change the rear valance anyway i looked at the complete system from miltek 4 Ã‚£513 (non res) i think. so not to bad.

how do u find the blueflame exhaust ivor?

i did think about a de cat pipe wasnt sure tho if that did any good to the engine? has anyone else tried a de cat before? would that bring anymore power?

Post by: richw911 on 31 January 2008, 20:02: Miltek sports cat :wink: about Ã‚£350. you can decat it but its illegal and wont pass the mot so you will have to change it every year but- better than a sports cat for air flow.

This ones for the 1.8T i cant find at he 2.0 listed :undecided:

Post by: Ivor Mk4 Turbo on 03 February 2008, 18:27: Have had absolutely no problems with the B/F (touch-wood) in just shy of 2 yrs motoring. :afro:

Cost me Ã‚£225 + Ã‚£25 fitting (phoned them up, but got the eBay price! :smiley:)

I think they're Ã‚£250 + fitting now, tho?? :undecided:

Only thing I should've done, was have the sports cat fitted at the same time!! :wink:

ps Be careful with decats, as some of them seem to throw up 'emission lights' on the dash - Not all of them, though, but I can't remember which ones do & which ones don't, LOL!!

Post by: GTi-Matt on 04 February 2008, 18:20: dont fancy going with the decat pipe, not gonna risk it.
