Hi all,
Im just after some advice,
Im looking at a Milltek cat back and manifold set up or a JCW cat back, milltek is roughly 200 more, but unsure which to get and should i worry about the manifold.
I have a few mods, CAI,MSD,air diverter, pulley, sprint booster.
Anything else i should do?

Any advice would be great.

Hello,

After a lot of research I opted for the Milltek catback. Really well made and sounds good after 3500rpm. Nice tone low down for normal town driving. I then got the manifold as well and wished I had done it sooner!

With just the full system and a JCW intake I had 179.5whp (at the wheels) and 192.8 after with a 15% pulley

Miltek also offer a great life time warranty with there exhaust systems, they sound really nice too.
The JCW sounds good but only has a 2-3 year warranty.
