I have been runing the MCS with Hartge conversion now for approx 3-4 months and am considering exhaust and air filter aswell for extra noise/potential BHP gains.

I would love to hear from fellow Hartge or any other performance upgrade MCS owners as to what the best combination maybe for exhaust and filter.......?

Cheers.

Just had a full Milltek exhaust & manifold fitted by Birds & its awesome, they will be shortly offering a GruppeM air induction kit soon. The exhaust is reckoned to add 10bhp, definitely worth the money as the conversion seems to breathe so much better ......and the noise

No it's not , looks a lot like the JCW exhaust & sounds awesome

Cost me £1200 fitted....not sure how much the air filters going to cost though

I'll post some pictures of it tomorrow

I have a Milltek Full System, Manifold, Cat, Cat Back etc..as well as the Hartge coversion

My before and after full exhaust graphs are on my site www.angrybeats.co.uk

A big improvement IMO

AngryBeats, did you have AmD overwrite your Hartge ECU Map when you fitted the Milltek? I notice on your graphs on your site you say ECU "Tweak"

There seems to be very different schools of thought on the need to play with the map when adding additional hardware.

Oh and I think you mean AmD in Bicester, it's Birds in Uxbridge (lol)
