APR vs Miltek Turbo Back Exhaust for Golf R

You should get a very large change in sound once the DP is done. But that obviously also has a large change in performance too. It's a shame you haven't done the DP first so you can compare the noise levels with the stock cat-back vs the Milltek one!

Even with the stock-cat-back, if I suddenly go WOT, I've had cars in front of me swerve - presumably cause I've scared the **** out of them with the volume. I'd be nice if there was a cat-back system which actually reduced the peak volume! :)

Is yours resonated mate?

I guess this question is somewhat relevant to this thread. My R is about 3 weeks away and I'm about to add an MTM catback exhaust. I would love to complete the system with a down pipe but I'm of the understanding that I would need a tune. How do I get around this if my R's ECU is encrypted(all 2011 model cars are meant to be)? I live too far to have it done in workshop and wanted to get a bluefin tune to do it myself, but getting a response from them is pretty much a no go

Cheers for the responses people.

Comparisons between the two would be good :)

Has anyone had any troubles with the quality of the milltek? (rust or broken welds or anything else)

I'm even considering a custom system. I've been doing a bit of reading about bellmouth vs divorced/divided, interesting reading especially when you look at our turbo/wastegate design.

They sound pretty darn good but $5k is alot of coin for just the Cat-back IMHO. May I know how much did you get yours for?

As zBeasty mentioned I have the Milltek TBE, it's top notch quality, I do have a few pics which I can find and post up when I had it installed. Btw I have the resonated version.

Good stuff. Have you considered having the resonated section replaced with a straight bit of pipe or happy with it as is?

Scuby, I sent you a PM

Really wanted to get it locally,but found a price out of Hong Kong for $3200. Still heaps of coin for just a catback,but it's awesome quality and sounds porn! Can you shed any light on my previous drama?

3200 for a cat back? And people complain about APR's pricing hehe

I'd want it to make me breakfast for that sort of money!
