Question Peoples views on the Miltek Exhaust please

What are people views on the cat back Miltek exhaust for the MINI Cooper S? To me the price looks about what I want to pay for an exhaust as the magnaflow from GGR is just to expensive.
I have had a look through search but not found anything.

Not sure if this helps but I have one on my Golf Gti 1.8T and the quality of the system is superb and made a real difference to performance.

Can I expect with a Milltek Cat Back Exhaust and Milltek Manifold and Sports
Catalyser an increase of (8bhp) + (10bhp) = 18 bhp?

No. Depending on the state of the tuning on your engine, mileage etc..
Power gains have ranged between 10 - 20bhp, by using both manifold and
system. Even on standard cars with the exhaust fitted this can be the case.

Hum.......make your own mind up on that one.

Fitted the Milltek cat back exhaust yesterday. The system is well built and fits perfectly.

Initial impressions (as i've only had it for one day);

- Car definitely feels more responsive

- Sound suits me perfectly. Doesn't really sound any louder when cruising or at idle than stock, but gives a lovely sporty low growl when you put your foot down. Probably not one for the boy racers as the sound is not OTT.

- Looks great IMO. (In twin round guise). Tailpipes are larger than stock but not stupidly big.

Hey, after fitting the exhaust I went for a short drive and passed a group of kids while accelerating in second and heard shouts of d_ckhe@d, so it obviously impressed them

Gone but not forgotten

Pics of my Milltek exhaust @ www.angrybeats.co.uk.

Great fit and finish and sounds really meaty, fitted by the chaps at AmD..

Hartge don't do a quad. The one you've seen is by Birds (a Hartge Distributor).

I'd go for the Milltek over the quad as you've a good chance of seeing some power gain. The quad is just for looks (but they do look good)

If u hv a Milltek cat-back, is there any benefits in using the header from Milltek as well???

Or we can choose SuperSprint for the header??
It will still fit i presume, but its just that Milltek would hv done all the R&D of the whole system and performance figures would be unknown if we mix and match brands.
