Unfortunately I could not participate in the group buy because they don't ship to Holland, but I found a good deal over here. I LOVE the sound and the looks. Inside the car it is noticable but no boom. Everything fitted perfectly and all was in the package, also some extra clips, I assume these are for the 2005 MCS. I took some pics while it was mounted:
1: It fits in your boot but you have to drive with the back open
2: The original exhaust with 'serial' mufflers
3: The first pipe fitted, much wider pipe
4: The two mufflers fitted, both parallel
5: The end result, great!

Update:
I finally got the footage I promised with the help of my 12 year old son. Enjoy!

I just drove (to nothing) and this time had some music on. The Milltek for the MCS is perfect. With normal driving there's no noise in the car, ít's all outside the car but sophisticated. There is beautiful noise when you want the noise, just put the pedal to the metal and it's there and loud enough.

Excellent thats exactly what i'm looking for, I just hope the Cooper exhaust is the same.

CooperSAZ · Feb 8th, 2005, 02:57 AM

How cool is that?

You have been talking/waiting for it for some time now! Glad you finally got it and got it installed! Is it not the coolest sound? I love mine! I can carry a conversation, listen to my music just fine. When I am feeling spunky, roll the windows down and listen to it roar!

Awesome! Looks great!

Over here that could involve a trip before the beak and a 12 stretch in chokey!

Seriously though, has anyone fitted a Miltek to a 2005 MCS? If so do you still get the loverly pops and snarls on over run, and if so are they more bassy?

Cheers

s_and_m · Feb 8th, 2005, 01:16 PM

Just read you Build date SAZ! One month beofre mine - so guess yours is a 2005 car (as per your siggy (double doh!).

Did mine two weeks ago! You still get the pops and snarls on over run! It is a little different in the exhaust note (obviously, and yes I think it is a little more bassey), but you do get it!

S_and_M,

Click on My MCS, go to the video section. I have 1 clip on the intake, 1 clip on the exhaust by itself (burble burble), and 3 clips on the car in motion. Let me know, I can record more if you like!

Berthil · Feb 8th, 2005, 04:24 PM

Someone who PM-ed me will come and visit me next week with his MCS and he is living about 30km from me, he wants to hear the Milltek with his own ears

That's mini2.com

I've heard movies before I bought he Milltek, but the real thing sounds so much better, I think other owners will subscribe this.

I just did 150/160 km/h for one hour on the freeway. NO boom or anything else to hear in the car, only when you engage the resume on the cruise control that lovely sound can be heard.

Very true! Very true! My next project is getting my wife to drive the car while I am in the family truckster! Then have her blow by, I have no idea what this sounds like (in person) on the outside of the car. Not that I care, my concern was with inside the cabin and whether or not I could carry a conversation. Which is no problem!

GeoffMM · Feb 8th, 2005, 08:03 PM

3 Point To Note.

1. Got One Myself
2.cant Agree More With 1st Post.
3. This Really Is The Perfect Exhaust For The Mcs

Thanks for the reports. I'll have one in my '05 soon. Can't wait!

You really can't go wrong with the exhaust! I just put the car on the dyno today! I have a Rogue CAI and Milltek Catback!

157.72 hp

At 12% loss:
179.2 bhp

At 15% loss:
185.6 bhp

From what I have read, this is typically the average range for drivetrain loss (12-15%). The high and low is only 6.4 bhp. So I imagine I am somewhere here inbetween!

Although with torque, these were the results:

143.88 ft-lbs

At 12% loss:
163.5 ft-lbs

At 15% loss:
169.3 ft-lbs

I believe the '05 is rated at 162 ft-lbs stock. So I was somewhat shocked as I expected a little bit more! But still, in the end, I am very pleased with the end results!

Hope this helps everyone in their decision making process...

Berthil · Feb 17th, 2005, 09:56 PM

Well, I have the Milltek about ten days now, and I'm loving it more every day. I have this small tunnel of about 30 meters in my town I have to go through once or twice a day. I stop the music, roll down the window, shift down and put the pedal to the metal. LOVE it. Not to loud, just a beautiful sound.

"has anyone fitted a Miltek to a 2005 MCS? If so do you still get the loverly pops and snarls on over run, and if so are they more bassy?"

Yes and Yes, 2005

Sound, Fit and Look is awesome, couldn't be more happy with it !!!

The JCW exhaust does NOT fit as nicely as this one, the mufflers on the JCW are TOO big, looking at it from behind

I agree, I drove a long while behind a Works MCS. The big mufflers very much stick out under the rear bumper, much more then the original (cola-cans) exhaust. They were so big I couldn't help looking at them all the time instead of the lovely MCS JCW

The Milltek has small mufflers, you can't even see them. Hence the picture below, and I took that picture near to the ground. And I photoshopped the picture to make it lighter below the car.

Nice asre!

Hmm, these Milltek jobbies look and sound the business. Might have to make some enquiries I feel.
