....As maxamus says, the engine's aren't restricted but are built by German vestal virgins and so are a bit tight to begin with :evil:. It's a well known fact that VW engines loosen up with miles.

I don't know about stock exhausts but Milltek stainless steel xzorsts definitely take a few 1,000 miles to mature.

I've got the Non-Resonated Hi-flow+Downpipe Milltek (quad outlets you may have noticed :evil:). It's only a wee bit louder than Resonated which in turn is only a wee bit louder than standard. Full song at higher revs is a joy to listen to. "Sporty" is the most appropriate description and quiet at lower revs. My turbo comes in at about 1,900 revs and power remains waaaay beyond UK legal speeds (tested on German autobahns with vestal virgins in attendance getting excited).

This is what Milltek quads look like [ANY excuse to post a pic and pose!]

Here's a copy of Awesomes reply to me.

"The downpipe is £564.50 retail , our price is £508.05 + VAT

The cat back is retail £384.50 + VAT for the non resonated our price would be £364.05 + VAT

Cat back on the resonated would be retail £450.65 + VAT and our price will be £405.59 + VAT

Fitting we have never done one , but as an estimate approx £148.50 + VAT (3 hours)"

Fitting took 2 hrs.

All in £1190 - and I think the prices have gone up a little since :shocked:. but they may have become faster at fitting :undecided:

I've just ordered the same system as Hurdy from Awesome and I thinks about £1140 all in including fitting, should be fitted next Friday :grin:

....I thought that most officially approved Milltek suppliers were obliged to fit for free! That's certainly how it used to be.
