They made one for my last car i had done by them but they wouldnt fit it as they said it was illegal  :huh:    The only reason i was going for miltek one was i heard very good reviews on it.

Only illegal on a petrol engine  :nerd:

THS Performance do one which is cheaper and comes with a range of adaptors to fit your standard exhaust system if pennies are tight

How can i make my standard exhaust sound like a non resonated milltek? Will a large bore d/pipe do much difference?

Won't make a massive difference sound wise.  Its all about the performance with the downpipe although you do get quite a cool 'owl' type sound when you lift off the gas

So im gonna have to fork out the ££ for a milltek then? What makes the milltek louder? could i not just cut out a silencer out the standrad exhaust??

Go to a local exhaust company and get them to price up a complete turbo back system - it will be far cheaper than a Milltek :afro:

I will do. Does your system still sound like a milltek or better?

I'm biased but to me it sounds better  :cool:  Mainly because you can hear it more of the time.  Most of the Milltek's I've heard you can only hear them past a certain RPM

Cool so it's all down to what you wanna get out of the new exhaust, as in how loud and how often you want to hear the exhaust.

I like the idea of the owl type noise from the downpipe, what are the performance gains on a 130 with just a downpipe, or generally what does gains are there from uprated downpipes?

Read my project thread as there are a few graphs up there comparing back to back runs with and without the downpipe :afro:
