Aftermarket Exhaust systems help

[Leglessracing]

Hi everyone!

Ive been looking at so many different exhausts it's starting to get unreal!
I've found Milltek, Scorpion, Akro, Remus and Bull-x

Don't get me wrong, if I had the $ I would get a Akro! But at £3200 in the uk plus the diffuser there is no way I will fork out for that. +18bhp
The Milltek, well it really doesn't float my boat. Too many people have it and it doesn't sound great +20bhp
The Remus is nothing special +10bhp
Scorpion is tempting but the gains arnt huge! +13bhp
Bull-x really does appeal but I can't find any gains at all from them!

Does anyone out there have any views on the subject? Or know of any other manufacturers to look at?

The Bull-x really does appeal to me from the sound aspect but does anyone have any performance figures for it?

Any help would be appreciated!

where is your BCS option?

So, at least we understand, now, that you're looking at an aftermarket exhaust for aesthetics and price above performance...

In that case buy the one that sounds the best... or, at least, the one that sounds the best that you can afford/justify...

In my opinion it's the Milltek Non-Resonated Turbo Cat Back full system all the way but then again the head office is literally behind my house

Will a non resonated cat back give the same crackles on overrun?

I forgot to add BCS in the above. Still waiting on some performance figures back from them

I'm not going for the sound, I'm after best performance figures and lightweight. Not looking at the aesthetics. Hence the Bhp figures listed

I'm also looking for a complete turbo back system

decide what you want more, mid range or top end

Well, of the ones listed, the Milltek must be popular for a reason - maybe it offers the best price/performance compromise. If you're looking for "best performance figures and lightweight" then who cares what it sounds (is sound an aesthetic property?) like or whether everyone has one?

More important than the absolute power gain is where in the range the gains are made and where in the range there are, if any, losses. You might find that the car is quicker with an exhaust that posts smaller gains but across all of the rev range rather than one that advertises massive gains but only, for example, at the top end...

That's a very fair point. Maybe the milltek will be the way to go unless the BCS gives some good gains. I've heard whispers of VWR and APR of making their own systems soon but nothing more and trying to get info on the Bull-x system is almost impossible.

BCS is the top one btw
