a far as I've read and been told by dealers the milltek non res is fine on the GTI as its not much louder than stock

its about £550 for the non res version.

i suppose that is a lot of money for about 5bhp but they do look so much nicer than the wheelbarrow standard tail pipes and there will be a healthy weight saving over standard system too

Everything I've read is that the non-res is a bit louder than stock but not too loud.

£550 is cheap mate, I assume you're not looking at the 100mm GT tips as I can't see any under £620

Not according to their website mate, I'm showing it at £637 inc vat, I added it to the basket and that's the price you'd have to pay.

I reckon there is a market for some very well made, well fitting tailpipe trims priced at around £40.

£5-6-700 is just a ridiculous amount of money to pay for an exhaust.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Amen to that.

I started a thread some time ago asking if anyone knew of the availability of such things and it pretty much drew a blank (other than people questioning why I'd want them).
Just some nice slash cut trims would give you almost the same horsepower advantage as a full cat back  :laugh:

Could be worth contacting a local exhaust place and get them to knock something up.  If they're keen and a bit business savvy they'd made a forture.

Anyone want to lend me their MK6 GTI as I know an excellent exhaust place  :smug:

The only reson I'd buy a GTI is so that I could have one of these:
