Milltek Exhaust
« on: 09 March 2009, 10:19 »
Having spoken to various traders at Ultimate Dubs yesterday, Milltek have discontinued their system for the Mk2 Golf GTI. They still produce a 4 branch and downpipe, but that's it.

However, if there is enough demand, they will produce another batch to order.

Having had 2 Milltek systems in the past, i cant rate them highly enough. The fit and build quality is superb, the sound is just right, and they do genuinly make more power. They also look spot on, and fit the cut out in a big bumper a treat.

I really want one for my 16V, and could do with a few more interested people before I go to Milltek to see what they can do. Any one up for this?

Put me down for it. I had one of these systems on my 8v and it was fantastic - as you say just the right note and I could tell a difference when pulling. Now I have the 16v and Im trying all I can to get a little more power - one of these systems with the manifold could make a nice difference  :cool: Plus the back box on these looks just right, the tailpipes arent too big and if you want the car to look standard you can leave them off and it looks like an OEM exhaust

The 2007 price list that I picked up at UD lists them at £326 + VAT for the system and £314 for the manifold.

If we could deal with them I hope they should be less than that for a reasonable order.

i am very tempted, i suppose its the same gains as a jettex/ scorpion of 6 - 10bhp, is there any pics of the system itself?

I havn't found any pictures yet.

Dont forget that any stated power increases are for the maximum gain somewhere in the rev range. A mod may give a 10bhp gain. but it might be at 3000rpm. So a claimed 10bhp exhaust on a 139bhp engine probably wont make 149bhp.

Nobody else?

Come on, there must be more demand than this.

Are these exhausts lighter in weight than the Jetex, which weighs a ton and a bit? Also does anyone have a picture of the tail pipes and I really hate the swept up ones? I might change to Milltek if they look OK and they fit my G60 OK. My Jetex is from a 16V and the fit is not perfect! :undecided:
One last question, what size is the bore?

I've spoken to Milltek today, and they have said that they will send me some archive pictures and specifications.

What I can tell you is that the tailpipe design is very similar to stock with twin 80mm tailpipes angled to the near side. I believe you can also have it without the tail trims so that it will look like a stainless OEM pipe.

They also said that they would need at least 15 definate orders to be able to put the system back into production.
