Milltek Exhaust

[Mew]

I've spent all night hanging the frigging jetex exhaust.  Too tired for complex words so...

1)  Its about 20% heavier than the standard system, although my "standard system" was a tinny non-vw item (hence why it fell to bits).
2)  Build quality seems very good, although the black coating on the exhaust comes off very easily.
3)  Jubilee clips used on all but one of the hanging points. It sits nicely, but I'm concerned that the clips will shorten its lifespan as it can't "bounce" with the bumps???  (advice?)
4)  The rear hanging point is a bit sh!t  -  if I used the included rubber the exhaust would be hanging very low down. Mine seemed to naturally sit at the right height anyway so I used a tight jubilee clip.
5)  The drive is alot more responsive now. 
6)  The noise is perfect. No louder than the previous system really. A nice grumble at idle and no noticeable extreme of noise at the top end.

Is yours a 2.5" system with an adapter for the downpipe?

I'm really not having much luck with mine...........

Yep.  Didn't think I would need the adapter on a 16v but it was needed.

Took me over 3 hours to get the old one off and fit the new one mind.

milltek do use a higher grade of stainless. T304 i think.the milltek is half the weight of the jetex. did you use the rear hanger which jetex included? mine sits perfetly. i just hate the tailpipe design. would look much more appropriate on a 1.2 corsa

.... Good point.

mine is the 2" and fits perfectly. as soon as c&r has the chain reinforced hangers in, il be fitting the front are rear ones.
no issues after that as they physically cant move
