New exhaust fitted, who's got a discreet tailpipe?
« on: 19 February 2009, 18:35 »
Well i have. Really pleased with the exhaust fitted, excellant quality etc. Only one annoyance is it's a tad boomy in the car at low rev's (pulling away for example) Get a little vibration through the seat aswell!

I've heard people complain about this before but didn't want a tailpipe poking out. Wondering if anyone else has this problem?


Other than that it's nice, spool's up quick. Just taken battery off for 10 min'sso it learn's the new exhaust, not sure if it will make much differance before a remap or not?

Cheers, Sam

Don't know if it's just because i'm used to the standard exhaust or not, just getting used to a bit more noise!

Is your's miltek?

I may see if they can turn mine 45 degrees so it's not so close to the ground (about 7" at the moment)

"its a tad boomy in the car at low revs" with the discreet tailpipe option you will find it to be "boomy" its a fact you will have to put up with due to the fact where do the gases exit ie the tailpipes are turned down to the ground which in effect bounces them back up and around the valance which is why you get the boomy sound whereas straight exit pipes ie 4mo anni is directed directly out into the atmosphere therefore not being trapped nice to be discreet but if your paying good money imo for a system even tho yours isnt miltek i would prefer to see the pipes also it looks spot on from the rear :afro:

Since I've had car been unable to decide whether to keed std montyII's and go discreet, or go for 4-motion pipes and MK1 S3 alloys :undecided:

Still don't know what to do??

Are Milltek and Scorpion the only companys which offer discreet pipes? If boomy then gonna go for 4-motion. For some reason I always imagine a custom-made exhaust to be boomier anyway..
