cobra are another make to look for, mate has one on his leon, and all i can say is wow. sounds so nice, however its relatively loud so if your wanting somehting quiet its not for you, his is a nice purring type noise when driving normally then when you ring its neck it explodes  :evil: :grin:

The cobra? or the miltek? I know with my mates when he's just under 3000rpm its got a slight quality to it but when he boots it the sound is important satisfying, not understated but also not in your face. That's the miltek 180bhp exhaust tho.

Anyone heard of Supersprint? Big in the states I think
I've used supersprint on my previous mk2/mk3 and are the dogs well better quality than my milltek by far but are very expensive. Priced one up for my mk4 was like £700 cat back, if had choice i'd go s/sprint without hesitation, pic of my s/s on mk3.


is that your personal opinion that supersprint are better quality than milltek? as i find supersprint poor quality, poor tip choice and far too boomie (personal experience of cause). milltek are far superior in every way in my opinion.

One of my friends has a SuperSprint system on an 8L S3 and I'm not a fan of it at all. To be fair, it came with the car, but the tip is oval like an LCR, and it looks terrible, the sound isn't that nice either. I've a full Milltek Non Res system and I much prefer it, for both build quality and sound.

I have a full longlife system and the best bit was you can choose 3 options:-

discreet
mid sport
full sport

I chose mid and its pretty loud when you boot it, could /do not want to imagine what full sport is like  :laugh:

why didnt VW just stick this on in the first place? would of been a great selling point seeing that most of the MK4 GTi's are for all intensive purposes a desent platform for so much potential, we should be able to say "right i want this this this and that and not that this this and this!"

...but then again our imaginations wouldnt be able to run wild afterwords i suppose, miltek is still first for me as i did some research and found that Supersprint is probably better suited to Coupes

he has a cobra exhaust.

personally not a massive fan of miltek, i think people pay more for the make than the exhaust

milteks come with life time warranty, give them the serial code and they should replace it, my mates one started cracking over 3 yrs ago and they just replaced it for him?  :cool:
