Milltek Exhaust?

[Mew]

is there fitment issues with the jettex? i know someone had abit of a faff not long ago on here trying to fit one.

I didn't get on with it in terms of fitment and noise. I ahd the three silencer version on my 8v and it was far too loud for my liking, and the backbox just wouldn't sit properly no matter what i tried. This was a couple of years ago though. I think it was DPB that had issues with his more recently

Here's a pic of my Jetex 2.5" system on a 1.8t.  It sounds good.  Very good fit also, came with new rubbers, and really tough u-bolts.

I have also used Magnex in the past on my 8v, got a 4*6" oval, sounded lovely and not that noisy, was a good fit too, would recommend Magnex.

Dont know what to say obout the Jetex system yet till I get it out on the road.

jetex supply 2 special brackets that replace the cars original brackets. so the fit is perfect. without these, it wont fit right.
theres the backbox one which makes it sit properly, then the mid box bracket, which had a piece of rubber that once the exhaust is fitted, presses against the chassis so its as high off the beam as possible, without knocking on the underside of the car. genius!

i had problems with the rear silencer knocking on a h+r roll bar. easily fixed. and i dont find this an issue as the bar is an aftermarket item.

if you go for the 2.5" system, it will be loud. but my 3 box 2" system is perfect. maybe a little too restraint

ps im now running a 16v 2.0 abf and it flows perfectly. on a dyno_dynamics machine it pulled stock hp, 150hp, and +10lbft. im putting this down to the exhaust. if i went 2.5" i doubt id of seen the t increase

I can't

The one i had was a pain in the arse, took alot of tweaking to fit right and never did fit 'perfect'. It did sound good though, not too loud.
